Soon to buy Eibach pro kit spring set, Recomendation on Shocks?

seeing that my car is bottoming out, frequently my rear tires hitting the wheel weld and my engine dragging on the ground from time to time... it is rather uncomfortable, can someone recomend some shocks to go along w/ my recomended sping kit?


i will just be driving 50/50 highway/city maybe 20-70 miles a day. no track and no serios races... just whatever has the guts on the freeway

If you want to use factory shocks then the SLP is a great deal, received mine last week, took 5 days to arrive. They are new take off shocks and like SLP says they have no more than 5 miles on them and I do beleive that due to the like new condition mine were in. Have fun doing the front shocks the nut on the top is probably rusted so bad that it isnt coming off without cutting it off, thank god I have an air compressor and cut off wheel and when reinstalling the front shocks back together everything has to be lined up properly so it will bolt back into car again.

The SLP Bilstiens are suppossed to bee good for a budget shock...

Personally I'd say QA-1's... only annoying thing about them is the Pissy Spanner wrech...(did they design a better one yet?)...


Yeah and the Front suspension blows... Yo uhave to take dang near everything apart...

Rear suspension is easy...

I've pulled my rear end apart so many times... I was pissed I cut a hole in my Hatch for a damn fuel pump... I could of had the tank out in an hour with hand tools... and a floor jack...but that's another story.
