cool. i think i understand.

The reason i ask is because since i lowered my car, at first it was right where i wanted it, but my front passenger side shock is worn out and you can here the shock bottom out on the bigger bumps.

could i get away with putting like an si shock on that one? or on all of them? will it be okay if i ride on oem shocks? or do i need to get like a set of tokicos (sp?) to get rid of that bottoming out problem?

if your on a bidget get some tokico blues...it dosent' really matter how long you can ride on oem because they aren't meant for higher spring rates, so your car is underdampened thus making it handle like **** and bounce..so you need a shock that has more dampening to it ie. tokico blues

Hey man! Definately get some shocks for your ride now that you have it slammed! If your FR side is gone most likely the other 3 will follow in the same path sooner or later. Its money well spent if you invest on good shocks. We should go cruzin one night and I'll let you feel my ride... I kid you not, once you feel the difference you'll WANT to get a good set of shocks.

I work midnights from now until the 29th. If you want we can meet up early one night and go cruz for a little before I start my shift! I get coffee from the Queensway Tim Hortons every night but I never see you there anymore!
