shock replacement...

Sup guys...

A long while back I "upgraded" my syspension and the only thing available at the time was the stillen eibach pro + tokico? shocks. They are now at their end and I must replace them. What does the .Org recommend, and Should I simply change the struts and leave my eibach springs as is? If so which struts would make a good combination with my springs? Should I ditch both and get coilovers?

Thanks!

Tokico illumina's seem to be the best now. You have HP's? I think they're really more of a stock replacement, so don't worry that going with illumina's again would be a mistake. As far as springs, the eibachs are considered the best for perfomance but there are many other choices if you want a softer ride. Read this http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaHandling.

They're not a stock replacement, so I guess I'm not really sure what you mean by part number. Just look around for tokico illumina's.

The Tokico Illuminas are what I hear the best things about. They seem to give the best ride, no matter what springs you get.

I would just keep the Eibach's. They are probably still a good bet.
