opinions on shocks

what kind of drop u have

they are some kind of coilovers.. they were on the car when i got it.. i think they are arospeed.. i have only had the car for six days... lol but my side skirts sit about 2 inches off the ground.. so its pretty sick..

i odnt know
if yoru drop is a lot
i dont think kyb is the brand to go with, might blow cuz of the low drop

if u wanna get the u might want to raise your car up
or make get some konis or tokico illuminas

my drop is pretty mad.. i will get pictures on here.. before i will order my shocks.. so i will post pics.. probably by sunday..

what exactly are the differences? are kyb's that sheeitty?

struts

Tokicos definitely
most definitely
mine are awesome and ive had them on my car for almost two years

do you know where i can get them? what price? Im willing to pay for high quality.. b/c you get what you pay for ..

if you know any sites post em..

If you are willing to pay go with Koni Yellows. I have ridden on them and they are nice. www.shox.com
good luck

If you read up on the KYB AGX's, you will find that they are not recommended for a drop lower than 1.5". If you do a search on this site, you could easily find plenty of info on the KYB's. You can also try www.carreview.com and click on performance parts reviews. There is a listing there of many different shocks, springs, coilovers, etc., and reviews that people have sent in on them. Anyhow, with more than a 1.5-1.8" drop, you should not get the kyb's. They are not crappy shocks, they are just specially made for cars with that amount of drop or less.

ive read over the reviews and i didn't read anything bad about the Tokico Illumina's. I like what other people said about them and they don't seem to expensive for the quality. I may just go with them... no one wrote how far their car was dropped with out the shocks..???
-another plus... they are adjustable with a screwdriver

tokicos illuminas or koni yellows, both are great shocks but konis are just a bit better. usually cars are dropped at the max 2 inches, over that and they usually will blow on stock shocks. if u are dropped too low, it really doesnt matter what shock u get cuz its just too muich

Koni Yellows.

KYB AGX = Hell Mother fucking no


I had them, blew out in two months, well actually the back ones did, not the front ones. My settings were set on 4 in the back and 2 in the front, and i had a drop of 2 inches.....i didn't like the struts to begin with. Koni yellows i heard are the Best!

if you take the time to read, kyb agx aren't recommended for a 2 inch drop. They are only recommeneded for at most 1.5"

i ride on koni yellows, and it's the only way to go.....if you're not going with a full coilover system.
