shock question

Jjona5 · 02-14-2007, 10:24 PM

Anyone on here ran billsteins and Konis? I am trying to decide which would be best for me. I have upgraded front and rear sway bars, Eibach Pro Spring kit, and soon to install the suprasport.com full poly kit(my wallet is still hurting). I have seen a few threads about this but none of them had any mention of anyone running both...its hard to argue which is the better ride if you have only gone from stock to performance vs performance to performance...

Anywho thanks again,
J

I have tokico illuminas and the eibach kit and it handles very good in the corners and also has a pretty rough ride but if you keep it on normal and not sport it is a bit better of a ride.

How long have you had them? I have been reading reviews and they dont seem to last long based on what ive read.

Well for a while but not like a year or anything But I also dont drive the car very much because I am always working out of town. I had originally planned to buy the TEIN super sport kit but after looking into the total cost and a few other choice things I decided to go with the tokicos and eibachs I had a friend a long time ago that had the same set up on his 280Z and they stayed good for like three years then they finnally started to soften a bit but by no means wore out or anything coarse his car would also take my 86.5 in every corner but I would leave him in every straight but it was fun racing in the hills of South Dakota on switchbacks.
