Help me please: Suspension
« on: 09 December 2007, 17:52 »
I am asking santa for new suspension and I'v fried my brain searching this place i'm going for Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs. I think they seam to be liked on here but what shocks should i use with them and best place to buy these sorry if this is been covered i just can't find it.

My questions for easy answering
1. are these the right springs?
2. what shocks to match these?
3 where to buy from?

Cheers Tri

 :smiley:Hi.. Shocks are going to make the world of difference depending on how you intend on driving it. The Boges or the standard Bilsteins will be fine if you are cruising but spend the extra to get the Koni, Spax or Bilstein coil overs if you are into performance driving. Whatever you do my recommendation is to stay with the original style top bearing plates for any street application as the allow pillow ball types will break your teeth with their harsh ride. :shocked:
