Im lookin for some shocks to go with my hotchkis springs. The stock shocks are just a little too bouncy now. any ideas?

 

I love my TRD shocks.

 

I thought about trd shocks, however the hotchkis drop is lower then the trd drop by like half a inch. The trd shocks would still be stressed and wear out i believe

 

^^^ He's right. You'll have to go with Koni.

 

who what where and how much for the koni

 

go to tirerack.com they have it for $163 each.

 

You can still use TRD shocks with Hotchkis spring. They'll still wear the same as if you had TRD springs. We actually sell a package with Hotchkis springs and TRD shocks.

Im with him! My ride isnt as bouncy but when i go over little bumps and dibits in the road i can really feel the harshness! Im thinking about Koni shocks but then also about TRD's?

Any 1?

i want a soft ride! but im loving my Hotchkis springs!

 

Hotchkis Tuning Sport coils $149.95 shipped
Koni Sport (front only) $326 + shipping or tax
TRD Performance Shocks $459.00
KYB shocks, only available for xB

 

So then the Hotchks/TRD setup will result in a "bouncy" ride.

 

well with my Hotchkis springs my ride is ok? I can feel the dibits in the roads here becuase the city workers only patch up around here and will worry about doing to hole street later! It sucks! I wish they (hotchkis springs) give you the luxury ride that we should get. But im hoping that new shocks will replace that! I might just go with coilovers since im gonna be paying for all this and it will probally add up to a good set of coilovers like TEIN or progress? The springs do doubt make the tC look alot better than stock! Especially with 18" rims, it looks like your going off roading with your 4x4. If you want to clean look that levels out your car, go with Hotchkis! You wont be dissapointed!


p.s.- does Hotchkis make shocks? i dont think so but its a thought for Hotchkis, they should also think about coilovers!

i wouldnt think so! Not bouncy like the civics bouncing around town!

 

as I mentioned above, shocks and springs combo will cost you at least $600ish
why don't you go with COILOVERS ?
I'm waiting (saving) for some good ___ coilovers setup such as JIC, ZEAL or maybe OMNIPOWER (not available YET )

 

if its for your tC, why dont you go with TEIN or Progress? I heard their pretty good! TEINs will run you around what $7-800 for the Basics?

 

I'm running TienSTech springs. Ride was harsher after installation. Installed a rear set of Koni Sport shocks set on full soft. A big improvement in ride. I need to order the fronts now but they're soooo pricey!

 

Is the ride softer and smooth? im thinking about getting these! Where did you get your rear shocks and for how much? Cause these Hotchkis springs with stock shocks dont feel too great! Its not that bad but i wish it was better!

 

Progress Coilovers ............ sorry, I don't trust them
Tein Basic & SS .... maybe, still doing research on them (vs. CS, RE, HT, RA, RS, HG, HA on other cars)
ZEAL, JIC .... looking for deals

OMNIPOWER (not available yet, only Honda for now) had 'em on my Civic, the ride quality and the price. If they make it for tC, I'll be the first one buy a set.

P.S: Do it right, do it once, no regret

 

yea TRD would be nice

 

Ok guys I have some questions with this. I have the TRD shocks and springs. Installed 18's today and I am happy with the rear but the front needs to be lower. Could I go with just hotchkis springs upfront and run them on TRD shocks?

And if so would anyone be willing to buy some TRD front springs with about 400 miles on them?

 

Give the springs a chance to settle before you make a hasty decision. The fronts are easy enough to swap out later if you do find something else. Oh...and the TRD shocks should be fine with the Hotchkis springs.

 

Will the settle even with the rears? I have had them for about 400 miles and there is more gap upfront than the rear. looks like I am driving around with alot of weight in the rear.

I hope it will settle more. How long should i wait?
