does anybody here have then on their 94 ST coupe? what are the pros and cons on them, what struts are you running with the tanabe df 210 springs? how does your car handle with them on???

as long as your struts are new like KYB, OEM, or konis or bilsteins, make sure you have bump stops or spring bumpers, its the bushing that goes on the stem of your shock. If you dont you will bottom out, trust me, you don't wanna reassemble your struts again just to put them on. they are cheap too so dont hesitate. just cut off one piece of the bushing so your spring will have play, it is only to prevent metal to metal contact when you hit a bump.

haha ya what he said ^^. when i disasembled my front and rear shocks to put my kyb gr2 and tanabe df210 the front bump stops fell apart completely. My friend who was helping me install them said it wasn't necessary to buy new ones. Well figures that after driving really fast up and down driveways, becuase i was in a rush, I bottomed out my front shocks 2 times on each side. NOT GOOD, makes me cringe each time i hit them

So I'm going to buy them, but no install until i get my next alignment. I heard bottoming out can kill ur shocks.
