  • shocks/springs question

    if im buying the eibach pro kit with 35K already on them, will i still need to upgrade my stock shocks? (74K). if so, what are some good reccomendations on a tight budget that would match well with the used prokit springs? thanks..

      The reason people are not jumping on this is that you make an impossible request.

      The old worn out shocks (pretty much guaranteed at 74K) need to be replaced to control the stiff springs. Otherwise your handling will be rotten, probably unsafe.

      The cheapest decent option is probably Bilsteins, about $300.

      Honestly, it sounds like you can't afford to do this. Your limited money would be better spent on just replacing the old shocks.

            Tokico makes a fair at best product. You really are looking at $300 in shocks, $200 in springs, and $200-400 install cost to do it all and do it right. I highly recommend you simply change shocks if nothing else like V6Bob recommended for the best ride/upgrade in handling.
