schocks

I need to replace my shocks, what are some of the best ones to get. I would like to get some that will drop my ride about an inch if that is possible.

If it is shocks that you need to replace they do not determine what your ride height will be. You will need to get new springs if you want the car lowered a bit.

You have a lot of possibilities with shocks. Tokico, Bilstein, KYB, Koni, edelbrock etc...

Springs
BBK, FMS, Eibach etc...

good luck

don't forget about strange engineerings 10 way adjustables. i would go with them. I got the ford motor sport springs they dropped my car an inch or so it looks great.

 

[Nopantz]

really depends on what you want to do...if ur looking for something for the drag strip....Lakewoods are the way to go and there pretty inexpensive.

 

[SAY GO]

Lakewoods 90/10's

 

[jslatts]

yea to lower your car you will need lowering springs but for shocks my personal opinion is KYB They arnt ULTRA expencive and they arnt bad at all

 

[5LugFoxFanatic]

Bilsteins are the best overall non adjustable shock.

 

[stykthyn]

this is my daily, so nothing needed to drag with. who makes good springs? are they hard to install?

 

[GreatWhite]

nah, not hard at all... Go with FMS C or B Springs... I found a good deal on mine from ebay for just 100 bucks

 

[Shakerhood]

I think the best overall deal is the Bullitt set up, you get a little less than an inch of drop with the Springs and the Struts and Shocks are Valved to match them and the price is about $400.

 

[stykthyn]

cool, you gotta rip these off a bullit or can you order them somewhere?

I ordered a new set from PPI.

Anybody use the Bilstein set up on there daily driver?

 

[iwashmycar]

i vote KYB and the FMS springs....been good so far!

 

[tunedin302]

Bilstein - hands down.

Highly recomended that you get springs and struts/ shocks of the same manufacture. companys typically tune their products to compliment each other...

So what about a person that has bilstein or koni struts and shocks? Neither of them make springs. I think you will find that the higher end companies specialize and stick to what they are good at: bilstein for shocks/struts, hypercoil for coilover springs, H&R for regular coil springs, etc.

That is why I suggested the Bullitt Set up!

 

[SoCal89GT]

I have talked with eibach before, as well as my suspension/ chassis engineer buddy who agrees. good point on H&R, Bilstien... I wonder if they suggest springs to use with there setup...?

Does the bullit setup even lower the fox cars? I have heard some bad things about the tolerances of that kit being way off.
