    matching prokits with something

    i need advice. i been reading and reading and i havent come to a great conclusion.

    anyways eibach prokits has what spring rate? and what strut will match it...im wondering cause its only a 1.2 to a 1.4 drop..if i can just go with tokico blues or something. i heard alot about blistiens but i heard its a bit on the stiff end too....i really more into ride quality than performance, though i wouldnt mind the performance being there.

    hehe how are gabriels at autozone?
    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

    Retro!

    with a drop of 1.2 u really dont even need aftermarket shocks. tokico blues would be more than enough for u, im not sure about that autozone special shock, ive heard of em but i havent heard anything good

      The pro kit was designed to work with oem shocks. I would think that any shock that you decide to replace them with would definately be an upgrade. I myself have only had Neu. Konis so of course I can always recommend those

        the thing is, they feel great on OEMS...though they only have like 40k on them BUT one of them is kinda messed up in that the top nut doesnt go down all the way so i think it stripped..and the allen in the middle is fuked.

        how about kyb gr2?

          I'm using the gr-2's with my neuspeed race springs and it's held up fine so far. Thats about a 2.2" drop so I think the prokit should work fine.

                When I had pro kits on my car they were smooth and basically felt a smidge sportier than stock. They were way too soft for the way I drive though. But the ride was smooth and not bouncy. Feels a lot like stock actually but just a little sportier.

                    on bumps my car doesnt really bounce...it more like rebounds of course but its not stiff...its semi smooth but i want it smoother...

                    would tokicos work then...or should i get some aGX? i might as well save up some cash then...i was going to go with gr2....heheh WAS

                    the rear doesnt rebound as much, the struts are really good back there, if i push the strut down when it was out of the car it comes up right away, but the front is another story.
