CaliDELSOL93si you really are a fountain of info thanks. I love my height you can see in my pix but I NEED to come up about an inch so I guess I will have to go the coilover route with some new shocks I was all excited after finding a good price on Tokico illumina Oh well

 

let me do some research and find you a good combo package. keep your springs, just get shocks. NO COILOVERS unless you are getting one piece coilovers and shocks which cost $900+.

 

what type of car is it ??? need to know to fine the goodies

 

ok....found some good packages...

tokico are crap IMO
every one I know who runs them have them blow within two years. If you have a very mild drop they will last but other than that I wouldn't get them.

KYB hold up alright if you don't drop more than 2 inches.

Koni will hold up to almost any drop

 

well maybe if you had your stock bumper on you wouldnt scrape so much. if you sold your body kit you can get a nice set of coilovers. i got my omni power coilovers for 700 bucks and the ride is great and i have no complaints.

 

Yes that's what I will do sell my kit and all my hard work. Why did I not think of that.....


Anyway everyone thank you for all your help really. As always there is a helping hand just around the corner. I am sorry I did not post this in my first post with my pix. The car is 99 Civic Coupe EX. Again I love tthe drop I have the only time I scrape is my own damn stupid driveway which has the biggest driveway hill on the planet. Stupid builders. So I just need to come up about a 1/2" or 1" and it's all good.

So CaliDELSOL93si your vote is for Tokico Illumina R Coilovers. bambbrose your vote is for KYB shock for my bouncy and then I just need to raise it a bit with?

Thanks again all

 

both tokico and kyb are great shocks unless you drop more then 2.5" inches. if you drop more then that, bag the fucking car or your entire underbelly will get all screwed up. i have NEVER had any complaints from tokico's. read reviews and see all the great things people say.

 

Thanks for the advice.
For Shocks (for bouncy and to save my a$$):
1. Tokico
2. Kyb
3. Koni Yellow

Coilovers (To raise me up an inch):
1. Tokico Illumina R Coilovers
2. Ground Control

Is that right or will any other combo help do what I want and not break the bank?

 

i had tokico blue shocks and they blew within tha first year. unless ur gettin tha 5 way adjustable illuminas dont bother.
