Hello everyone, I have a big question, I don't really know anything about shocks & springs & I would like to ask if anyone here has installed this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKIC...mZ180211689589
and what are your experiences about it. I am tired of feeling every little ripple or bump on these Fairfield, CA streets and need replacements quickly. Thanks in advance!!

 

anyone??

 

Just replace the front stucts & rear shocks. Forget that kit with the lowering springs. You can get everything locally in your area.

 

my problem is that I need springs as well and I am trying to get all at once, of course I would like to get Koni yellows all around and the Eibach Pro Kit, but I am in a budget and I want the best bang for the buck in all. What I am looking for here is if anyone has this special setup, or at least the shocks and struts from this kit and how do they perform. I know I could go locally here but they will put stock moog springs and KYB GR2's for $750.00 to $800.00 and I've heard that the KYB's perform good for the first 5000 miles then it feels WORST than stock afterwards.

 

You'd be surprise but I have installed quite a few struts and shocks on third gen and Monroe struts and shocks has the best ride for the street if you're on a budget.

 

Thanks but how long do monroe struts and shocks last? My car is a daily driver if it matters.

 

You want long lasting struts & shocks buy Bilstiens. Expensive, yes but they will last 100K+.

 

I want something that is not as expensive as bilsteins, and like I said on the first post, I need springs as well. Of course I would like the Eibach Pro Kit and Koni Yellows all around, but that is just something I cannot afford, so anyone tried the TOKICO Illuminas with the springs metioned??

 

Koni has a lifetime warranty on their shocks/struts. Buy the yellows and that will be the last set of shocks/struts you will ever have to buy for your car. If they ever wear out, Koni will replace them free of charge.

 

If you lower the car, the Bilsteins will die and the Monroes will die faster. Get something designed for lowering springs.
KONIS will be best, but I've heard that the Tokicos will work, but the dampening, warranty, or lifetime isn't as good as the KONIs. I would reccomend saving for the KONIs.

 

then maybe that is what i will do, save it up for the koni's, and since I am doing that I will save for the Eibach Pro Kit. Now what is the source for the cheapest koni's that you guys found????

 

I think there is one site shox.com that has them cheap with the Pro-Kit. Or hotpart.com has them cheap.

 

If you want just the Koni's, get them from Hotpart.com ($684.86+ free shipping). If you want just the Eibach Pro-Kit, get them from shox.com ($223.36+ free shipping). If you want the best deal on both of them, get the combo deal from shox.com and start saving up for $849.00+ shipping... that saves you $59.22, but you still have to pay shipping, which, I'm sure will be very close to that if not more.

PS - If your doing the front struts, you might as well replace your strut mounts since you'll have them off anyway. A good set is going to set you back another $217.50 (free shipping) from Hotpart.com.
