Aftermarket Shocks With Stock Springs

[imported_mntdewred]

I can't take the crappy ride quality anymore and I really don't want to test the waters any more with different springs, so I'm going back to a stock ride height. I still have the stock springs, so I'm saving a couple hundred

I searched around local parts stores and for OEM shocks, they are about $61 each. I figured for an extra $20 or so, I'd get higher quality aftermarket shocks.

What does everyone believe would be the best shock with stock springs? I have KYB AGX shocks now, and I don't know if its because of my Ground Controls, but these shocks didnt even last a year.

Thanks

Just get anything with a warranty man.. monroe...etc.. Stock though

yea, probably find something with the best warranty. im going back to stock suspension so i dont waste more money on a ride im unsure of. im not giving up playing with this car though, i just want a smooth ride.

I hear that, I like a smooth ride.. but you gotta give some to get some when it comes to handling

Most likely the AGX's went bad because you were too low on the GC's. I don't remember what their warranty says, but I think the recommended max drop is under 2".

Im currently over on mine.. 1.75 or less is recommended on tokicos, and I have 2.25 neuspeeds. WHOOOPS!

KYB shocks warranty are null and void if installed on a coilover system. I guess they know when they look at the shock?
