hey whatz up everybody
i wanted to know what kind of shocks
i should get for my car??
i am lookin to spend about $200-300

i currently have Tanabe DF210 springs with stock shocks
i installed the springs back when my car had about 8K miles
right now it has close to 50K miles
so far my car still rides fine, just a little bouncy sometimes
but not annoying though

if i install new shocks, will it lower my car?
maybe you guyz can help me out here
thankZ!

 

I like b&G springs the are with in that range.

 

Monroe Senstrac 5870 rear
makes a big difference IMO

 

I've got the rear 5870 shocks never used going back to stock ride

 

I have the 5870's and they are smooth. They won't cost you too much either. You can get the fronts also. Now shocks will not lower your car. However the monroes on the front are a little shorter, so it will lower a tad bit.

 

Yep, get the Monroe's!

 

QFT - there have been many posts on this. the general consensus is that monroe is the way to go. I rock em.

hi i have my slightly used tokico adjustable hts jspec shocks for sale for $400. in in the san gabriel area. let me know if youd like them thanks

Mike

 

If you want something adjustable... the only two options is Koni 4-way adjust. , or Tokico HTS 16-way adjustables(red).

I personally have a pair of REAR Tokico HTS 16-ways(rebound+compression dampers) that are NEW for sale right now. I bought them for my xA, but I believe the xB and xA share the same part # on the rear shocks. Rears you can easily install yourself as well. I'll bump my sale thread on the Classified section here.. since its the weekend, and all. I'd like $260- shipped.

 

thanks everybody!

one last question, were can i buy the Monroe Sensatracs??
where's a good place in the OC or LA area

 

Either Kragens.. or Sears. I think if you buy from Kragens right now.. buy 3, get one free... or something like that. MS- they are a fairly soft/spongy strut/shock from what I've read.

 

...or any NAPA store - they have the Sensatracs under the NAPA brand. (Search sensatrac here for further info.)
