It'll ride pretty good, but nothing like Neuspeeds with struts. Just get the springs now and the struts later.


By the way, what does the PL in yoru name stand for?

Kurrrrwa....

I disagree completely. Neuspeed race are WAY too stiff for stock shocks. It will ride like ***, trust me. Wait and do it all at once.

Yup, your ride will be **** and you will blow your stock shocks if you ride on the neuspeeds for too long.

Hell no, my friend had Neuspeed Race on Tokico Blues for awhile and it sucked so bad, putting them on stock shocks would be even worse. Just save up and do it all at once. I drove on stock suspension for 8 months so I could save up and do it all at once. If I can, you surely can too.

I had neuspeed race on stock shocks and it drove terrible.
I think all my bushings went bad after driving like this for a while
Like the guy above said, springs are way too stiff.
i bought the tokiko blue and it helped a little but not much.
I would have liked it for autox if I didnt drive it every day.

I had neuspeed sports on stock shocks for 3 years (stored winters) and I was happy. I'm also looking for neuspeed race now, are the KYB adjustables the best way to go for those springs?

the best are the koni yellow for the neuspeed setup... Bilstein is also a good shock paired with the neuspeeds. KYB is also a good choice, however i'd chose the previous two (in that order) before the KYBs... but by no means are the KYBs a bad choice

I've been running the race spring/gr-2 combo since the beginning of march this year. So i've been on it around 4 months now without any problems whatsoever. I know Ebelp has been running this combo for over a year now. Probably closer to 1 1/2 years now. No probs that I know of from him either. He gave me confidence to go with this setup.

Even if the shocks do blow, whatever, I'll buy better shocks. It takes me 3 hours to swap out everythign without air guns. I like workin on my car anyways.

My buddy had Neuspeed race over Tokico blues and they ride fine on 17".
but then again this is coming from a guy who has blown shocks.

I do...it's stiff...but definitely a better control. I'd get it with another aftermarket shocks which I'm looking for.

Listen to Tim and I. We drive our cars everyday on this setup. Unless the roads you drive on have no bumps, potholes, etc., you'd better save up for some performance shocks.
