Default What shocks do you all have?

My 88 hatch is boncing a little and I need to tame it a little.

I have H&R sports and need a nice controlable shock.

Please give info like, Softness, cornering, etc. . . .

i've used nothing but tokico blues for the past 7 years. i've never had a single problem, and they've always responded well no matter what spring or coilover i put over them. i've always had super low stances, and not one has blown out.

i'd HIGHLY reccommend them.

88 STD ..(It rusted away)R.I.P.
KYB gr-2..$190/4
dropzone coilovers..$50 off ebay with free shipping..
I only lowered it 2" and the ride was comfortable..Those coilovers were worth the $50 and never sagged after 2 years..and they had those rubber top mounts and never made noises..

Best possible shocks you can buy - custom shortened Konis

Next best thing for MUCH cheaper - 89 Accord Tokico Blues in the front. Raise the fork mount, and also use an extended top hat. That should yield the most suspension travel in the front. As for the back, anything should do so long as you have extended top hats.

i have kyb agx front and rear. Although they are not as good as koni yellows, the kyb agx's are adjustable to the type of ride you like.
