Here it is....I'm gonna be lowering my car soon( 2- 1/4 in.) My friend gave me some brand new neuspeed springs.I was looking around for some koni yellows but the prices are sick.Don't really want the spend that much right now. I wanted the spend no more than 400 shiped. I think the cheapest i've seen them for is 560 shipped. I'm gonna be using coilovers next winter so i'm only gonna need the shocks/struts for no more than 8 months. So is anyone using a different shock/strut setup with there neuspeed springs. Or does anyone have any suggestions on some shocks/struts i can use with my neuspeed springs. We have some huge pothholes here in NYC so I need a real reliable setup...thanks for the help.

 

i would stick out the 8 months and get something else.

 

lowering 2 and a 1/4 on stock struts isnt a great idea but im sure itll be driveable... if you plan on sticking with stock struts maybe going with a less "aggressive", so to speak, spring is a better idea, like eibach or progress.

if you drive around large pot holes i wouldnt recommond lowering your car that much. if you dont care what
i've jus said i will recommond you get some tokico illumina's. also if you're not gonna be racing on track,
koni's are a bit too much but they're nice. so its up to you. i say illuminas.

 

KYB AGX are pretty good struts and not as costly as the Koni's check out tirerack.com and see what they got for you

i've got AGX's and i drove daily down 275 here in cincy during all the horrid construction and they've held up pretty well.. but i think if you can hold out you should. Better safe than sorry.

 

go head put the neuspeeds on with your stock struts anit really gona do ****. its not bad and if for some wacko reason you do blow a strut its not like its that hard to get another stock one **** i got like 8 or 12 lying around, but your gona get coilovers anyways so do it

also 2.25 is not that low you wont have a problem driving unless your 'special' witha 2.25 drop youll still have gap in the fender well, unless your rollin on some like 17 or 18

 

Yea I have neuspeed race springs and I need shocks pretty bad... Im debating on getting either the KYB AGX's which btw for the most part Ive heard they are decent except for a few people here and there w/experience w/them have said they arent worth it, that theyre not that great... Look into Tokico's while you're at it.

 

hey dude whos that chick in your avatar shes pertty hot! Hook me up. UUHH not bad back to the subject tokico illuminas or save a little bit for koni yellows.

 

You plan to lower 2-1/4 inches and drive around on the streets of NY? That really doesn't sound like a good idea.

 

I am running the KYB sport shocks non adjustables with my neauspeed "race" springs the yellow ones. IT works pretty well

 

Thanks for all the ideas, I still have about 3 weeks to decide what i'm going to do...Not to drag out this post any longer but what do u guys/gals think about H&R struts.. i was told they were pretty good.. and i can get 4 for $185

those H&R struts sounds pretty cheap, oops i ment the price.

 

ive got neuspeed race springs im waiting to put on my hatch, i got a good deal on yellows for 380 shipped, used for 3k miles. Titanmotorsports.com offered them for 450 when i asked, that was a few weeks ago though, probably gone by now. i was gunna go with the kyb but i heard with this big of a drop they suck, i dunno id save for the yellows.

 

Hondadriven and lightning motorsports both had koni sports for less than 500 shipped over the holidays -

 

Why not just bare it for 8 mo. or so? Then you could be puttin' away extra money here in there for some great coilovers. Just my thought.
