Hello Everyone,

Need some help/opinions on front struts for now. I am a stock guy so looking for that stock ride I fell in love with. I recently replaced stock set up with Monroe quick set up and it is/was horrible. I am thinking of putting back my stock coils which I believe are fine with some new struts. Was thinking about Tien. All feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!!

 

Tokico Blues used to be the way to go, but after a quick search I see they are no longer sold. Personally, I would go with Bilstein if you are only replacing shocks/struts. I haven't replaced mine yet, but I'm probably going with BC Racing coilovers when they are due. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Monroes... I've always had my suspicion about them. Good luck, and let us know!

 

I went with Koni shocks for 07 coupe. Have had them for 6 months and car drives great, no complaints.

 

Thank you Dave and Meskin. I fear an 07 experience might not be apllicable to an 03-06 unless you guys chime in. I would assume suspension might be very close but yet different. Dave I will consider and have heard of bilsteins. I am hoping someone chimes in with Tien experience. Ive heard good things about them from other users of different cars. Dave, if I go Bilstein route, I have no intention of changing or upgrading suspension (racing etc), do you still recommend for that "stock ride"?

 

Hey there, I went and got KYB Excel-G shocks and struts for a front and rear replacement and they have been installed by another mechanic a couple years ago. The ride has been good and solid as I mostly want a stock ride. I got the parts from RockAuto if you do shop there.
