Default skunk2 or tokico hp, shocks/struts

i've heard the skunk2's are decent for the price and are good if you wanna drop your car. i haven't heard much about the tokico's though. keep in mind im not looking for anything rediculous. fXck being job-less!!

i have tokicos and they work pretty well with the tein h-tech springs i'm on now. if i had to do it again i would probably buy the skunks. they are slightly shorter and have a little stronger rebound valving.

im looking to spend about 300ish on shocks/struts. Then 200 ish on the lowering springs. and all the skunk 2 stuff fits right in there.

it's not that the tokicos are cheap, it's just that they aren't valved as tight on the rebound side. skunk shocks and springs should be a pretty sporty combo. plus you can get the springs for $150 or so on ebay. TI has a thread with all the lowering spring rates if you want to read up before you buy a spring. i think the real choice you have in shocks is if you want to buy the skunk or the kyb agx.
