Default .:OFFICIAL:. Suspension Thread

I have noticed that a lot of people want to know what kind of suspension other people are using, So I thought that the PRELUDE forum needed an official thread dedicated to just suspension. (If this needs to be deleted, Then I'm sorry!)

Post Pictures!

Besides Koni Yellows, what are some good aftermarket shocks to use that are moderately priced? I've heard AGX's are pretty good as well?

depends on how much of a drop it is. i've heard AGX's aren't THAT good for anything greater than 2 inches.

since you didn't replace your shocks, you don't know what the bumpstop is.
but i used to have the neuspeed sports, and when i put the neuspeed race's in, it was the same exact height.
i realized this was because i didn't cut the bumpstops, and i was driving on the bumpstops.
after i took my suspension out and cut them in half, it dropped my car like another 1/2" all around
