do it right the first time or smash your head through a window when you spend MORE money on BETTER shocks later.

Tokico Blue? or KYB GR2? both are stock replacements... if your lowering, get Illuminas or AGX or REDS/Yellows

first question i would ask, IS,


is the car lowered?, or will it be lowered in the future?
if you are just replacing to stock ride height, i would even try the monroe sensatrak's, they are even lifetime warrantee,

and there is a BIG difference in price between koni red/Gr2 vs illumina's and yellows.

i have tokico blue with tokico HP springs.
the car is lower by about 1-1.5 on that setup(never really measured)
its a lot stiffer on highway ramps and much stiffer on sudden stops as well...i recommend it if ur looking for mild drop. it can be had for about $550
steering wheel turns suddenly to one direction alot tho -
what could be the cause of this??
