Hey what's up everybody? My friend has a 96 Civic Ex Coupe with GC coilovers and a 3" drop. I think his stock shocks have just about had it with a 3" drop. The front ones are starting to squeak when he goes over bumps and the ride is getting bad.
I have several questions to ask for him.

1) Are Tokiko non-adjustable shocks going to be fine for everyday street driving with a 3" drop?
2) Also. Where are some places on that he could get them on the net? Anybody have any suggestions? The only place I have seen them is Ground-Control.com

Thanks in advance.

3" is just a lil excessive don't cha think?? at that rate, his handling will be ***, his tires will wear, his shocks (any you can buy) will wear out quicker, and he will put unnecissary strain on all of his steering components.

 

and plus tokiko "BLUES" are garbage

 

What kind of shocks would you recommend then?

 

Koni YELLOWS =

anyone agree with me?

 

definately Yellows..
blues are as absorbant as sponge

yea get "Koni" not "Tokico"

 

It's going to ride like *** anyway. That's life with a 3" drop. Expensive shocks or not, you still have no suspension travel.

 

you are 99.98718762873689763876876827628976278262879 % right

i agree

no matter what struts your buy or how much you spend your car is going to ride like **** with a 3 inch drop

 

yeah it will ride pretty bad at that drop, but if all you want is the look of being dumped, and shocks that will hold up. tokiko blues will be fine, not stiff enuoph in my opinion but they will work. if you want adjustment and are into tuning your suspension at all go with the koni yellows, the best you can buy in my opinion unless you go with a true coilover setup. just my $.02

 

Where would one find these Koni yellows everyone is referring to and how much do they cost? Thanks.

 

They have them on Groupbuy.com for somewhere in the $450-500 range for a set.

 

4inch drop LMAO!!!!!!

that must look sooooo cool

 

What do you all mean by "too soft"? Do you mean it bounces too much? Too much like the stock shocks? Thanks

 

Yeah, bouncy as **** with Tokicios man. I have Koni Yellows and they rock. I paid $503 shipped for them from http://www.diabloautosports.com

 

I have tokico blues...and not very impressed. I'd also vouch for koni yellows.

And 3 inches???!?! That's very practical
