I was wondering, do I need to replace my shocks/struts if I wanted to add Eibach ProKit springs? I have a 2k1 SE with 6000 miles on it.

Thanks,

i had the eibach pro kits w/ stock shocks&struts for over a year.. and i JUST replaced them w/ tokico this morning... feels better now.

but damn, the rears are a ***** to get out.. it used to be easier.. maybe it's age?

Hey Kafene, whats the big difference between 1 year old factory struts and shocks and your new Tokicos??? Can you really feel a difference? Are they stiffer?? softer??? I have a 2000 Max SE with an Eibach pro kit and I left the factory struts and shocks on. I have 6000 miles on the factory shocks with the Eibachs. Im just wondering when I should change to tokicos or another manufacturer.

 

I also had the Eibach/stock struts setup for a very long time and didn't have any problems... I'd say about 20K miles. If you want to soften up your ride, get the Tokico's to help out. It's all up to you on when you want to change the struts.

 

and yeah... i did feel a difference. not nearly as floaty but not as rough a ride as i expected. it is better than stock, although i have to say.. i forgot what a stock max feels like.
