Eibach Pro springs installed need shocks

As it says. Just installed a couple weeks ago, what are some of your recommendations? Nothing too pricey or extreme, but no cheapies either. This is my DD so nothing thats going to give me back problems or smash my b@lls please.

You really only have a few choices. Tokico non-adjustables which I don't really recommend but others use them. Tokico adjustables which are great. Konis which I use and like. OEM sport coupe and OEM Z shocks that might/might not be valved correctly for whatever spring rate your Eibachs are set at. This will give you some ideas on how to search vs just being told to do so.

Not knowing your back or your ball smashing threshold, you'll have to read and decide yourself.

Yeah I searched some but really didnt even know what I was looking for. And I was fully prepared to get you guys threating to smash my ***** for not searching .

But figured that said ball smashing would include links to good info. I need to learn how to optimize the search feature here. Can someone search something that tells me how to search lol... I kid

I have 07 z suspension with Tokico blues (HP) for a z. Works great for me, but they were made for the spring rates I am running.

Much more than I bargained for. So I see my springs and spring rates. Now what do I do with that information?

Sorry guys, I'm just not that savvy in this stuff..If you need some graphic design though I'd be happy to show you some links on forums explaining more than you bargained for

If the Eibachs feature rates higher then OEM, then you can stratch OEM and the Tokico blues off your list.

Now you down to Konis and Tokico D-spec adjustables.

Learning which one is for you is part of the process of becoming more suspension savy

Do you know if the Tokico HPs were designed around the unrevised or revised spring rates for the Z?

Eibach Pro-kits for the sedan were developed on a non sport donar car. They aren't going to demand that much from a shock. That being said you don't want to go overboard, I mean after all if you really wanted performance you'd want to change springs anyhow. That being said I would go with Tokico HP G35 spec or Tokico D-spec installed set to 3 or 4 up from full soft.

I don't think Koni's would be a good idea under the circumstances.

@Gsedan35

Yeah im not looking to ever track the car, and dont really want mega performance from the handling. I do want to make sure that the setup I have now functions properly though and was under the impression I needed new shocks. Would the stockers be ok? Or is it still recommended to change them? The car has just over 60k on it so they may need to be replaced anyway

I can't say for sure. but the HP's seem to mate very well with the revised springs I am running.
