Default anyone using ajustable shoks??tokiko??

hi guys.i noticed my car's left side rear spring is saging about 3/4 inch compared to rt side so iam thinking about getting lowering springs.also while iam at it i want to change my shocks too.now i want to lower my car as much as i can by a/market replacement springs(dont want to cut original springs or get 4 cyl springs) and as for shocks i want somthing thats adjustable for soft setting and really stiff setting.my question is
1)-what kinda brand would get me lowest possible drop on 93 lx.coupe?
2)- what kinda adjustable shocks would u guys recomend? heard about some setups with one airbag that goes to rt rear wheel......r those any good?do they help traction as they claim?

Konis or Toks. Both are adjustible konis cost a little more and firm up harder then the Toks

The Konis adjust from the top. Dont know about the Toks. You do not have to remove the tires to adjust. If you have a fox body you have to remove the interior piece above the shock tower to do the rears. As for springs lower is not always better/ you dont want to be bottoming out. I would suggest looking for the best poundage spring for what you are going to be using the car for. Then look for Hand r springs. I have them and like them.

The tokico's also adjust from the top, very easy to do.
