how do you know when your shocks are "blown" and what is the negative aspects of driving with blown shocks (besides it bobbing up and sown)? does it damage other suspension parts????


also, if i drop my car with neuspeed sport springs with 17" rims do you think i should get new shocks or will my stock ones hold?

last question: if i do get shocks, are the Tokico "performance" shocks any good? Or do i have to at least get the illuminas???(please specify difference) (i know one is 5-way adjustable)

do u get excessive bounce while driving?

shlammed

get illuminas...you can get them from astroboy's tokico blowout for $600...well worth the extra money.

Goodguy

Blown shock tend to leak. If u drop ur car with stock struts they won't last long. I give Tokico Illumina's a big

Goodguy

bump for info!

Gunmetalef

what more info do you want?
your not leaking oil and your not bouncing.. so your shocks aren't blown.. when lowering your car everyone will say you should get new shocks too.. and you stock ones will probrobly blow after a while with an big drop ... go for the illumiina's and pm astoboy

poseur

imported_gatherer

Goodguy

how about kyb gr-2's..

imported_bevboyy

GR-2's are only a little bit better than OEM- try AGX's instead. And yes, if you are currently driving with your OEM struts on lowering springs you too will soon have a very bouncy ride...

if you buy cheap shocks you'll get cheap shocks... and you dont win friends with cheap shocks
