cheapest aftermarket shocks that i know of are prolly kyb gr2 which isnt really good for lowering, more of a stock replacement

im sure theres a lot of other dirt cheap crap like ractive, obx, toms, etc..

trust me dont be a cheapass when it comes to this stuff, u definately get what you pay for.

why not look in the classifieds for some quality used shocks?

Best bang for the buck shocks are the Koni Reds. I had them on my old 98 and I loved the ride. They will outlast anything but the Yellows and can be had for under $500. But yeah, search for a cheapused set. I sold my Konis with the H&R springs for $350.

^ konis + h and r's for 350 is an amazing deal for whoever bought those.

instead of buying cheap new stuff, its always better to buy some well taken care of used stuff

Comming from the guy kyb coils and gas shocks i have regrets with putting them on my car, they been on for over a year no problems yet even tho everyone tell me they leak so easy. i picked them up for 600. all four coil over and gas shocks. they ride nice smooth, but like any coil over once u hit a big bump of course its going to be bumpy espically if u have a big motor.

ah damn, wish i had an ek now!


JRP is a rip in the bum from what ive heard.

do they sell used stuff?

imported_plzbeleiveit

no used stuff, but if you know someone who works at jrp u get some good prices, id think if you just walked in their and asked for the suspension id say thed charge you about 650 - 700

They will fit with minor mods to the rear. Any Teg, Civic or even Acura EL up to 2000 will fit. TRy Speedtech for Koni prices.

I'd never buy used shocks unless I was getting them from a buddy. there are too many ******** who smash up their car, hop curbs and whatever else.

On a slightly unrelated note, do any of our affiliates sell H&R springs?

thanks

DumbasSi

Yes. I got mine from Speedtech. I'm sure all of the Affiliates can get them. I use H&R and only H&R.
