Help with Shocks
hey wutz up guys, i lowered my car like 2 weeks ago, and when i took of the stock spring it seemed as if my stock shocks where no good, and when i started driving my car it was bouncing in the back. I didn't think it was that bad but then i could really feel it when going over bumps and hills, and all my friends say that when i drive, all they see is my back end bouncing. So now i'am planning to get some new shocks. Could u guys help me out on wut kind would be best for my car, my handling is not all that great and it makes me mad. Some one told me about kyb shock but i dunno i want more info and a wide range to choose from. Thanx for any help!

My new buddy -HyJynX-, thanx man. You think i should change my springs? i have dropzone springs on, and the only reason why is cause my freind gave them to me. I don't think it really matters, but then again i dunno much bout this stuff. Everyone sayed how they bounce and its not worth it. Other people tell me that all springs do is keep the car off the ground. When i drove my car i was like Aw man i should listen to them. Thanx for feed back and would u say coilovers are better than just replacing stock shocks? cause a couple people tell me it's a waste of money. I guess it is, unless your car was build for daily track us where u would need to adjust the stiffness and ride hight to get a better run. Am i right?

Yea stick with the dropzone springs, take some pics after you upgrade your shocks so we can see how much of a drop there is
Now for coilovers...If you have the money and are ganna be going to the track a lot(Drifting, Drag, AutoX) then it is most def. worth the upgrade!

I would love to get coilovers, my firend has apex n1 pro, and boy dose it drive nice, but he lowered it so low it can't go over speed bumps, haha! I am on a buget kinda, i don't plan on going to track for now, and i need new shocks asap because my car bounces and slides on straight aways, witch i dunno bout u guys but i find it to be scary and dangerous but its pretty fun lol.
Thanx again i'am gona look for them shocks tommarrow, and i'll take pictures and see if i can get them up. When ever it's done.
Oh yes anyone know if they can find KYB AGX for lower than 400? That would be great if you could

Yea, you can get them on eBay now for 350-360 before shipping. That's your best bet. Also check eBay for used coilover setups though. I paid $650 shipped for my used Tein HRs thru eBay. You're going to pay 400 for the shocks, and between 150-200 for springs depending on the quality. Better yet a brand new set of Tein Type Basics run like 700 and change on there.
