Hey folks,

Thanks for all your previous help. People in here are a wealth of info. Ok, **** kissing out of the way.

Decisions on either Monroe Sensortrak's @ $121.10ea or Tokico's @ $100.77ea.

Doing the rears too. Will probably get springs as well. Eibach.

Thanks again!
Rungi

 

Go with the tokicos. Im lowered and ive heard that KYB GR-2 are pretty much the same as tokicos and they are half the price, and thats what im going to get! KYB $48.50/each @ shox.com! Thats just what ive heard!

 

I spoke with my mechanic about the KYB's. His advice? Don't do it.
K-Mart brand of the shock industry. That's why they are cheap. You'll get alot less miles from the KYB's than the Monroes.
I been going to this guy for over a decade and he hasn't done me wrong so...

Good luck,
Rungi

 

Well i suggest you do a SEARCH and see what people say about the struts. im not saying KYB is the best im just saying some people say they are just as good as the tokico! like i said do a SEARCH!!! See what everyone says about the struts....and monroe is NOT what you want if you are lowering your car!!! Monroe is cheap (IMO)!!!
Also craig brace has eibach and kyb...ask him what he thinks of his set up!!

 

quit stalking me, I see you watching me

yeah, I have eibachs and KYB GR-2s. I got the KYBs from www.eatricezone.com , that site is run by another .org guy - Phuong (got rice?) and he's pretty cool

the handling is very nice, like all aftermarket setups, it is a little bit more harsh on the bumps, but not that bad. I drive through downtown Atlanta a lot with some really crappy roads and it's not a problem. After about a week of the new suspension, you get used to the increased stiffness and dont even notice the bumps anymore.

I defintely recommend this setup, hopefully it'll last for a while (that's what most people's concerns were with the KYBs). I've had it for probably 6 months or so and no problems with it.

 

Hey now, im not stalking i just happened to have just looked at your cardomain page and edited my last post to him...lol!

 

I've had teh tokico's on my car with eibach springs for a about 14 months. At about 10 months I got a sudden softening. Now they are about 55% of what they were on day one. I'm hoping that they last the year.

I wish I had spent the extra 25% on Koni...

The rear set has always seemed soft, and mine have that notorious clunking sound too.

send me a message if you have more questions.

 

KYBs with Sprint springs...10 months, 15-20k miles(potholes included )....NO probs!!

 

What is the drop on the sprints again? I need to do something with my 92 SE...

 

i was told to get the cheap struts unless i want to get the car lowered too? is that true? is the performance and lasting stiffness the same with wither, for example, kyb's than the less expensive stuff? i wanna say no but i have no idea.
