My rear shocks are leaking, so I will be replacing them over the Christmas break. I was wondering which ones y'all think I should go with. I will also be lowering it with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. I'm looking at the KYB GR-2, Tokico HP Series, Koni STR T, or Bilstein HD Series. Now obviously the Bilstein set is the nicest, but I'm wondering if they're worth the extra money over the other sets. Let me know what you think and thanks for the help!

The STR.T set is a very good non-adj option. Are you planning on upgrading your strut mounts? Let me know if we can help ya out.

well i had originally planned on upgrading the struts also, but my dad had the car a week ago while I was using his truck and had them replaced. I would've rather upgraded them but since they are brand new, I can't justify the $$ on them.

would you say the STR T is the best option or is it worth it to dish out the money for the bilsteins?

Jay@Hypermotive

That depends on what your plans on for the car.

for now it's my daily driver and won't see track time. i just need something that's an upgrade over the stock with decent ride quality

Jay@Hypermotive

For a DD the STR.T is a great upgrade for your needs.

I'd also look at the Strange adjustables:

thanks, i'll look at those too.



i also found the Lakewood 50/50 rear drag shock. any thoughts on these?

For a non-adjustable shock, the Koni STR.T's are the best bang-for-the-buck out there. I've been running them for close to three years. Great and effective upgrade for a daily driver.
