Im looking to upgarde the suspension a bit. Im thinking about going with the Eibach Drop springs to lower the car about 1 1/2". What would be the best shock and Struts to go with those. Maybe Koni Reds. What do u guys think.

 

I have the pro-kit. If I was looking at shocks/struts, this is the order I'd look into them...

Money is no object: Koni Sport Yellows or Bilsteins
Mid level: Tokico High Performance(not illumina)
Dirt cheap: KYB GR-2/Gas-A-Just

If I were going all out handling I'd probably get the koni sport yellows. I'm probably buying the tokicos this summer though.

 

I just finished installing my Eibach prokit and KYB shocks today. I absolutely love the way the car handles right now. On my car, my springs were sagging a bit, so the prokit left the car at the same height as before. It didn't drop an inch, it stayed the same.

As far as shocks go, I went with KYB because everyone I've heard that uses them on a street car loves them. They are cheap in compariosn to Bilstein or Koni, but they are not bad shocks. I was going to buy a set of Koni adjustable shocks at first, but I looked into them, and they seemed a little too stiff for a daily driver to me.

The prokit/kyb combo is stiff in my opinion, but doesn't give a harsh ride. The thing is, everyone has a different idea of what stiff and harsh means. Do a search, you'll be surprised how many people are happy with this setup.

 

Thanks
