Default Best shock and spring combo

My stock shocks are going out on my teg and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on any shock and spring combo for a decent price. Thanks

I wouldn't say its THE "best" but I've been very satisfied w/ my Eibach sportline and Koni Yellow combination.. I've had it for years.. it handles well and I've had no problems w/ it... H&R sports are also good.. or you could go w/ Koni yellow and GC coil overs or get Tiens...

Unless you're getting a set of full-out coilover assemblies, Koni Yellows are the way to go.

Note: With Bilsteins make sure your get the ITR (sport) version and a set of ITR rear LCAs so they fit on a non-ITR teg.

I would get KYB AGX's and Eibach sportlines. I have them on my car and I LOVE the ride. They will also be good for the pocket book.

I don't wanna scare anybody, but the one thing I don't like about KYB AGX's is that they only have a little weld-on tab for the shock fork perch instead of a full ring around the entire bottom of the shock.

A buddy with an Eclipse GSX had the shock fall straight through to the bottom when that little perch broke. Cost him quite a bit of money to fix all the broken pieces.

Not to say that this is an imminent condition for Integra's, but not impossible either. GSX's weigh like 3500 lbs....a half ton more than Integra's do, and is probably a factor in what happened.

Those lazy bastards can't even finish the weld.

Thanks for the advice people. One more question though, my bro has also has a teg and he wanted to know what shock and spring combo he should get. He doesn't race, just a commuter car. Doesnt want his car bouncy or hard, in other words he wants something that will relate to his stock ones. Any suggestions? Thanks again

damn theres a 300ZX kinda by my house that I drive by sometimes and the rear looks collapsed as if its slammed to the ground the front is lowered but not slammed/dragging like that.. I've seen this car before and its lowered but not slammed like that and its ONLY the rear I wonder if thats what happened to his rear shocks...
