I'm lowered on Eibach Prokit Springs. Any suggestions on aftermarket shocks?

 

Anybody???

 

Dunno. I would like some new shocks/struts for my car. I want some Tokico D-specs but they're not available for the newer sedan yet.

 

whats wrong with the stocks? they work good (i'm on eibachs as well)

 

Nothings wrong. Just think an aftermarket shrut/shock will work better (control) the new springs. Its just personal tast.

 

The stocks will wear out faster considering how hard you drive with the added stress from your aftermarket springs, thus the reason why some dealers void suspension warrenty once lowered...

 

The only aftermarket shocks I've seen are the Bilsteins that are part of a JDM tuning kit. I think the shocks alone were over $2K.

I'm waiting for more economical alternatives (or coilovers).

If given a choice, I would take Bilsteins over Tokicos, GAB, KYB, Koni, etc. Bilstein is the OEM supplier for cars like the Nissan GT-R and Bugatti Veyron. Every car I've ever rode in with Bilstein shocks felt really good - taut, firm, but with no harshness whatsoever.

 

go look in the sticky section man, there is a thread on aftermarket parts

 

Already looked in our aftermarket parts section. Just thought there might be something else out there by now.

That's a trip. There are several companies making springs for our cars but no ones making shocks/struts (except for the 2000+ kit). What???

Maybe it's just me but I thought if you upgrade your springs, you upgrade your shocks as well. It may ride cool for a while, but our stock shocks/struts aren't made to work with aftermarket springs. Just my 2-cents.

Is there an echo in here?
