Need help.... what struts to get??

I have eibachs with stock shocks right now and i dont like it... handling is much better than stock but im bouncing a lot on bumpy roads... roads are horrible here (potholes, cracks) and winters too...

i really don't know wich shocks to get... what would you get if you were me

The price of tokico HP are very interresting would it be a good choice?

I think the best choices are Illumina's, or Koni's. I personally like the adjustability of the Illumina's, those are the ones I got. There is a GD on them going on right now. Check it out.

Depends on what ride quality and handling performance you're looking for... and also whether you want adjustability... if you're gonna keep the Eibachs, Tokico HPs should be good enough to improve things, but its still gonna be a little bouncy.... adjustables will enable you adjust your ride quality regardless of springs (although springs would still be a limiting factor). Its a really personal preference... so lemme just warn you that you're gonna get vastly different and contradicting opinions on this topic...

And Housecor's site is here:
http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/sp..._decision.html

So figure out what you want in terms of ride and performance, check out the website, read what people have written, if possible, hook up with some local Org members and check out their set-ups, and then make your decision... good luck...

I got the Illuminas and IMO they are definately worth every penny even if you have to pay full retail price for them. the adjustability is great and they can ride very very smooth if you want them to. Highly recommended.
