Hi guys,
The suspension in my DA is a little soft and I'd like to fix that issue soon. I've been looking around for replacement shocks/struts and I've been finding a lot of good names for decent prices. So far I've seen KYB GR2s, Tokicos, and a couple of other good name brands I can't think of now. What will give me the best balance of ride and comfort? This is for a daily driver and my city has some rough streets, so I'd like it to ride smoothly, but still have positive feel around corners.

What are your suggestinons? Thanks

 

dont' get the tokiko blues.. watever you do.

 

if you can get 69 more bucks, get illumina's.. 369 shipped from power garage on ebay.. good ****, 5 way adjustable.. not as good as koni's but way better then blues or agx's

Ok, so a no-go on the Tokico blues, got it. I don't really need anything adjustable, not that it hurts to have the option.

What is everyones opinions on KYBs/other alternatives?

kyb's are good, but they dont make the rear's for our cars (da's) so you'd have to use ?88-91? civic/crx rear's.. but at the same note, i dont feel comfortable about puting something suspension wise on my car that wasnt made for it.. u know?

That's what bothered me about the AGX's... I have GR-2s and they are pretty much an OEM replacement. I installed them with coilovers, so I am not sure if they will stiffen the suspension by themselves cuz I've never felt it. The GR-2's will fall in your budget, but I would say your better off waiting a little longer and spending a little more.

Hell ya i hate them on my da

 

i have seen AGX for DA front & rear online. i think the Illuminas are a good bang for the buck [got mine on ebay, too for &lt;$400]. adjustable is good so you can stiffen the rear, this helps the car rotate better.
