I know that the search function is not working right now so I was wondering if you'll help me. I have a '92 GXE and I just bought 4 Sprint springs that are a 2 inch drop. Now for the shocks/struts can I just buy any ones or do they have to specific because of the lower springs. I have been looking at Tokico and KYB GR-2 and I don't know if those will work. Please help. Aaron

Re: suspension

I'd say go with the Tokico's....they'll be fine.

Do Tokico's make different shocks for a lower drop, or are they all the same. Also when lowering my car, is this all that I need or do I need to get a camber kit or something. I don't really know how to do it yet but me and a couple of friends are going to do it soon. Any advice would help greatly. Thanks

check out http://www.4dsc.com/articles/suspens...h_tokico.shtml

tokicos will be fine for those springs, I think they only have one type that is made for our maximas from Tokico - check out www.eatricezone.com for pretty good prices

some people use camber kits, some dont so you may be able to tell after you get your car aligned (after you lower it)

get new dust boots and bump stops, you'll probably need them . www.tirerack.com sells them for $10 or 15 each which is a good price, they are KYB brand and have the bump stops built in to the dust boot
