what are the best shocks with 18's?????
 

I have 18in chrome wheels and everytime i hit a bump, i feel it through out my whole entire car. Do i need new shocks cause i still have the factory shocks and i also lowered my car with eibach springs. anything that can be done or is this normal for a lowered car riding on 18's..........I know that your ride changes but this is rediculous to the point where my music skips and my cruz control gets shut off if i'm using it......

its gonna get bumpier than stock

I was told that if you get Afermarket Springs, you need Aftermarket shocks because you are putting too much stress on your stock shocks.

yea but he already thinks that stock shocks are already too harsh.

stick with the GLE setup.. i have a SE and my dad has a GLE. when i drive his car, the suspension is alot softer than my se setup..

stick with the GLE setup.. i have a SE and my dad has a GLE. when i drive his car, the suspension is alot softer than my se setup.. but then again the GLE shocks will give you the gap.. so if you want the lowered look with the smoothness, just cut a coil from the GLE springs... i don't know what will happen but that sounds "alright"...

ride will get more stiff, but you have to expect that, Im riding with tokico blues on my 18's.

Just get KYB AGX! ;-)

Your stock struts are might be blown from the lowering of the car. I have KYB AGX's with my 18's and coilovers and my ride isn't too rough....

Never cut coils, especially from stock springs:

Man74: For Eibach: Illuminas, Koni, or AGX is recommended:

I have Eibach/Koni and my ride is absolutely wonderful.
