Springs and shocks
Hey guys i have a question. I'll be buyin the Strano springs so at the same time I need to buy new shocks.
So what could be a good option on shocks or a good combo with stranos springs?
I know konis are good but I dnt think I can pay over 800 just for shocks.
Any suggestion or ideas?

Thanks for the help
Are those adjustable?
Or it don't matter if they are adjustable or not?

bilstein is supposed to be a better quality but some like kyb just fine

go bilstein..the spring rates for the strano springs require a good shock to control it..while konis are perfect for the stranos ..the bilsteins are decent.

you would want the slp Bs ..they are valved to handle the slp eibach lowering springs..so they are valved mroe for a lowering spring than the others.

So I should get the slp bilsteins right.?
So with the stranos and the slp bilsteins will be a good combo then.
How many inches will be the drop?

I run kyb's and love the adjusability with my BMR's and my friend has the same shocks but with Strano's and his car rides great. We each have ours set different I like a softer ride for highway cruises and tighten them up for tearing down tight backroads. I have to say for the money the AGX is a great shock, not quite a Koni but I like you could afford springs and koni's with also adding sway bars. I say go with KYB and you'll be happy as soon as you take a few rides and get them set the way you like. Took me a week to get the perfect setting for daily and then a second set of high speed corners for backroads fun.

I was lookin at the kyb's right now
And the price is cheapper $400 is not to much for the bilsteins I will pay that but I will like to save some cash
The good thing bout kyb is that they are adjustable
Idk exactly which ones to get but I'm sure both are good options
I want the car to feel sport and with a good handling

next time I get new front struts I'm getting KONIs!!
I have bilsteins right now and I have no complaints about the ride. the instal is F**king rediculous!! why would bilstein design the strut so that the shaft spins around. it makes it frustrating beyond belief to get the nut off. especialy if it gets rusty which happens pretty commonly on our cars
