After two years on the Tein S-Tech springs, the shocks on our car are rattling like a mofo going over bumps now. I initially thought it was a tie rod end or a ball joint, but I had the car on a lift and everything checked out fine. Anyway.....
I was initially going to go with Bilstein shocks/struts, but they're only available in the touring for stock ride height. So I'm back to the drawing board here. I'm looking for a performance minded shock that's meant for lowered cars, and I'm not coming up with a whole lot. Coil Overs are NOT an option right now. Too much money. So, what are you guys using? -------------------- |

u ran s-techs on the OEM shocks? damn, and i thought someone had said they would only last a little while when mixing OEM shocks with aftermarket lowering springs. i would just say go with the KYB GR-2s. unless you have the money (which you stated you don't) i would go for some tein coilovers. the gr-2s are relatively cheap and you can just save up for a set of coilovers later
