Ok I have plans on lowering ma ride on 17" 02 SE 6spoke wheels. right now im riding stock and i wanna lower no more than two inches front (1.5) and back (1.3) what are the best lowring spring and shock combination with a comfortable ride I live in NYC many potholes surround me

 

Get the Tokico Illumina kit that comes with their adjustable struts and springs.

 

 

i suggest going to the right forum.
or groundcontrols.

 

Do you have those struts n over bumps how they feel

 

I don't have those struts but with them on their softest setting they'll ride really nice especially if you use the springs that come with them. Also, don't forget to trim the bump stops!

 

Im sorry, but no one will sell you anything for two cents on this forum.





Thats what you were asking for, right?

 

If you would read then you would know what I'm asking for

 

Don't mind him, he wasn't being serious.

 

i got illuminas on H&R..

before i bought them.. people have said the excellent opinions about them
after owning them, MAN.. all i can say is..

Best combo possible for us 4th gen

i do want a slight lower drop then what H&R offers 1.5F-1.3R ...eibach is also good which is 1.7F-1.3 or 1.5R .. not 100%..

i am currently on the softest setting right now with 18s.. they feel really good..But i also changed my control arms/inner tie rods/outer tie rods/sway bay end links

BIG DIFFERENCE.. but Im in the process of thinking about selling them for coilovers cause i want a lower drop.. I enjoyed them since june/09 and only did 4k miles on them..


My last words.. Awesome setup..no questions ask,.. hands down

 

You clearly missed my point. You missed it as much as you missed what forum you're in.

 

0_o @ rellmaxima's response to you mohf lol

 

Noobs these days,

 

^ lol

I have the Tokico struts and springs and the ride is just a bit stiffer than stock on the middle setting. Im happy with them, but I'd like a bit more of a drop.

 

Get some H&R's.

 

Why are we talking about this in the classifieds

 

I honestly didn't even notice that.

 

Get H&R's .. But don't get KYB AGX's ... They're rough on the NYC roads in the winter with all the pot holes.

 

Just switch back to stock come winter time. That's what I'll be doing. Its easy to do as well. A total of 14 nuts and 4 bolts (10 nuts/4 bolts in the front and 4 nuts in the rear).

 

why are we beating around the bush on this...

OP, you'd get a lot more response in the suspension section. i got the link for you: Advanced Suspension, Chassis, and Braking ...but look in Advanced Performance next time. be thankful your thread isn't locked already.

 

I have tokico illuminas with eibach springs and the ride quality is pretty good IMO.

 

You're going to get an alignment 2x per year then as well?

 

I'm gonna have to. There's no way I'm driving on AGX's in the winter time.

 

wow, it must be really really bad then.^^^

 

I don't drive much in the city so it's not that bad. The main reason I don't wanna ride on AGX's in the winter time is because they get considerably stiffer/harsher with cold temps.

If I was in an area where the climate was warm all year long, I'd ride on AGX's all year long.

 

if ur struts are still good i would go with the tein s tech springs i was slammed before than i put these on and it raised me to a good height and its very comfortable i get probs on ride all the time and it handles very well but if u have bad struts than replace them

 

fixed.

 

Sell 'em and get illuminas

 

Nah I don't have that money right now. I'll stick to the AGX's, use them during the spring/summer only and keep the miles low on them.

 

yeah thats what i meant. That with the cold weather, the ride must be really really bad.

 

I don't even wanna imagine, especially with Eibach's.

 

Why is this STILL in the classifieds.

 

thats where they created it.

 

I'm guessing he expected that the moderators would have moved it by now?

 

here we goooooo again.... stechs and agx's

 

Notice this is the classifieds?

BINGO, we have a winner

 

Not for NYC.

 

how much did you pay for your kyb agxs? and whats a good website?

 

There is a KYB warehouse down the street from me.

 

I paid $100 for that set up fully assembled.
