Hey guys, trying to help a fellow member find out a decent shock for his application. He does not track the car, and he is working with about a 400 dollar price limit. I of course suggested the GC/Yellow combination, but he DOES NOT track the car, and just wants a comfortable, low ride. Anybody have an opinion on some softer shocks (such as Blues, etc) that won't blow if he dumps it. Is there even a shock such as that?

 

that fellow member is me i got neuspeed coilovers that came with my car when i bought it i just dont want it to be bouncy dont know if i should just switch to springs and some decent shocks or keep coilovers and buy some agx shocks or keep the shitty shocks and buy some gc's any suggestions will be appreciated

Up one time for the day crew. C'mon guys, I know he can't be the only one who is looking for something such as this.

 

<--- in need of inexpensive shocks also....

a guy in ATL can get KYB AGX's for $75 each... that's about what I'm down to...

$75 x 4 = $300

 

ebay is about $325 shipped... but of course local does not require shipping or the crap shot of ebay...

 

Mmmmkay..somebody has to know..Dustin...Evan...Tom...somebody??

 

Bilstein Hd's.

They're $450 for a set shipped. Their non-adjustable and they make a great daily driver strut. It's what i'm riding on and their decent. Everyone says after 10 years they're still as good as the day you got them. Bilstein makes alot of stuff for trucks so their gonna be pretty damn durable.

 

Koni Reds should do the trick. The best replacement shock.

 

i love my blues....little stiffer then stock but the ride is still awesome...dropped 1.8" on tein s techs

 

thanks guys for all of your opinions im still in the market with only 400 i just hope i can make something work

i have them combined with gc's but if your not looking to have coilovers the eibach springs alone are good too</TD></TR></TABLE>

I've not heard good stuff about the blues before but this kind of brings their level up a lil.

But dude eibach springs are pretty bad. Their set spring-kits i've heard from alot of people sag. If your going to get a set spring kit just get H&R's, their alot cheaper than the eibachs. neuspeeds are nice as well.

What YOU should do is keep what you've got and just replace the struts w/tokico whites or Koni Yellows. You allready have some decent coilovers, so just get some nice struts on there.

 

oh yeah and another thing is tein springs and tokico blues a ok set up?


EDITr is kyb agx and tein springs good set up(might take a little longer to get but is it worth it?)

 

Might want to look into the G2s. Not adjustable, but only like 200 bucks for both the front and rear.

I duno that one guy said he had goodluck w/the blues but i havent heard good stuff about them. Their basically a oem replacement shock, i'd rather have oem though personally, i've seen them last for 200,000miles+


Like i stated above.
