shock absorbers

what brands are good and cheap for a cb lowered on coilovers ?

[quaidum]

unfortunately good and cheap can't be in the same sentence when talking about suspension

[ExplodingCake]

No such thing unfortunately.

Koni Yellows are good mated with coilovers.

well i just need the front driver side so should i get a performance shock or just a regular kind ?

[deevergote]

Reaplace them all, unless they're relatively new already. If they're already fairly new, replace the blown one with one of the same type.

Are you lowered? What shocks you should install depends on what you have done to your suspension otherwise.

Performance is highly recommended.

Regular shocks will blow in short amount of time.

[deevergote]

Stock shocks?

[Whieroman]

Stock shocks?

yea but only the driver side is making the most annoying squeaky noise

[ExplodingCake]

there soooooooooooo expensive though

Would you rather keep replacing the blowing shocks?

OR

Would you rather buy the good stuff and won't have any problems?

good stuff ..

but did this happen because i lowered my cb on coilovers ?

It happened because you lowered on stock shocks. That is quite possibly the most idiotic thing you could possibly do. You're putting your life at risk, as well as the lives of anyone that you're aiming your 1.5 ton weapon at.

Replace them all NOW! Lowering your car on 18 year old shocks that were never designed to go any lower than stock is EXTREMELY dangerous!

Assuming you also have cheap no-name coilover sleeves with a high spring rate, you're going to need a shock that can handle it. Even the less expensive slightly-performance oriented shocks like KYB GR2s are only good for a spring rate that's 15% higher than stock. Your spring rate is likely MUCH higher than that... as that's what those cheap crap coilovers do.

Replace your shocks. ALL OF THEM. You're lucky you haven't crashed yet. Believe me... crashing will be MUCH more expensive.

Get an alignment as well... a camber kit would also be very smart, unless you want to keep buying new tires every 8000 miles. Keep an eye on the inside of your tires. They may seem fine, but when you're lowered, the inside will wear faster (unless you correct the camber), and your tires will be as good as bald.

what can happen if i don't replace my shocks and get the camber kit ???

[quaidum]

you can crash and either possibly kill yourself or some innocent person
