I need new shocks. The ones on my GSR now are the stock ones, and they're blown and creaking and squeaking.

I've looked at a lot of different shocks, and read through the FAQ.

The previous owner does not know what kind of springs are on the car...

Does it matter what kind of shocks I get? I was looking at a set of Skunk2's for a little under $300 shipped.

Its always better to get a matched spring/shock set. The nasty ride and noises can also be coming from the mystery brand name springs. I wouldnt buy new shocks without a known set of springs.

I'm probably going to do that.

I need to get the car painted, that's first on the list, and that's happening this week, or next week. When ever my lazy ass gets to prepping it.

I looked at these: http://www.modacar.com/products/Acur...+Package+.html

$410 isn't bad, but I'm not sure if 1.5" is enough of a drop for my liking.

Spec R

experience has told me that tokico blues dont last very long, even with just a mild lowering.

Hmmm... That's probably why the Koni Yellows with (I think) Eibach Sportlines are about $750?

How's Skunk 2? I looked at a set of shocks for $280 on eBay.

Spec R

I dont know anyone who's used the Skunk2 replacement shocks, so I cant help you there.

Have you looked into the KYB AGX line of products? I've had firsthand experience with my first teg and they were great. I also have a set of KYB GR2's in my 240sx with Tein S-Techs, and I'm pretty satisfied with that setup as well.

How much of a drop did they give you on your Teg?

How much do they cost?

Spec R

The AGX's didnt drop my car at all, the spring perches are at the same location as the stock ones. They're shocks only.

I dont know what the going rate is on them now, but I remember 350 shipped being the norm.

Ah, what I meant to say is what ones can handle what drop? I'll probably get a set of those, and a set of springs.

AGX can handle up to 1.5" drop. If you lower it more, your warranty becomes void. I had KYB AGXs with S-Techs dropped 2". No complaints.
