Hey...Ive decided on Skunk2 coilovers...but I dont know which shocks...money is tight and the Koni Yelllows are way out of the question. Whats good and inexpensive out of the Tokico shocks, the Koni reds, and the kyb?

I've got the KYB AGXs' and they are the best for the money.

GuNmETaL_Si

I needs prices :-) Can shocks be had for ~$400?

Jugglez

$400 gets you a used set of KYB if you can find it.

GuNmETaL_Si

and if i cant find them...what else is good? Tokico? are they ok? ...sad to say...but im kinda put cheap parts on this car for a while since im a student and money is tight... :-(

I've got tokico blues on mine,they are better then stock shocks but are still bouncy. I paid $450 for all four.

I've heard Koni Reds are pretty good (very nice on a lowered ride, but no adjustability at all).. Look into some Koni reds and see how they turn out..

Thanks Guys...Ill see what i can find

u can get KYB GR-2's for under $400 at speedtech, not adjustable, nice shock though still

GuNmETaL_Si

GR-2's! ive NEVER heard of those...how do they compare to REds? The Reds arent adjustable too

I just put Koni Reds and H+R lowering springs
on my car 2000 coupe and the ride quality and hadling is great.
I have a little bit of noise from the back but am hoping that will
change as they wear in .....

Ive never heard of Gr-2's....how do they compare to REDS? Reds arent adjustable either

imported_dmacbo

i have the KYB gr-2's with H&R springs in my crx and its a very sweet ride now, i'd recommend them

GuNmETaL_Si

why did i post the same thing twice? I havent had any weed yet? JUST KIDDING...how much did you pay for your non adjustable REDS

Jugglez

Save up for the adjustables. You won't regret it.

BOND007

Ah, but some of us are dumb and lazy , and adjustable means
more work . I must admit I would probably have loved to get the Koni yellows but would hardly adjust them anyways . I find the ride to be still very smooth (except the noise ,hope it fades) and it corners 100 times better and I don't find it bouncey at all ..

GuNmETaL_Si

I know the Yellows would be WEELLL worth it...but theyre just too much. Im not too picky and i dont need PErfect ride...anything better than stock will make me somewhat happy :-)

So how much were your Koni Reds? If you dont mind

BOND007

You what I don't know exactly . I paid around 900 for shocks and springs installed . I guess membership does have it's priveleges..

Jugglez

You don't have to get the Koni Yellows. KYB AGX and Tokico Illuminas can be had for $650-$750... Koni Reds are $525+ already.

True on a daily driver you won't be adjusting it much. But the option is there should you ever need it (ie track day, lapping, autox, etc.)

they can't be that much....i got my koni reds (in a sealed box)and rensport springs for $600 TOTAL.....
