- Thu Oct 15, 2009 2:14 pm #150926 Well I currently have a set of cheap coil over springs and some shitty struts. I like the low look but I want it to ride better. Ive never messed with lowering a car so I am totally new to this. Do I just replace the struts? Or replace it all? Whats good whats bad? Im not looking to spend a ton, hell I may even just bring it back to stock??

- Thu Oct 15, 2009 2:20 pm #150927 if by cheap you mean ebay ones, if you get nice shocks it will be a bearable ride. Now if you want a track car or something your probably going to want name brand stuff that was made good, not ebay stuff.(i have eBay coil overs myself so i know what you mean) but if you just want it to ride better and like the low look, some gas shocks it will defiantly be bearable.

- Thu Oct 15, 2009 2:39 pm #150929 I'd say if you're going to replace it..just replace it all with new stuff..then you know for sure the shocks and everything is going to last longer.

- Thu Oct 15, 2009 2:49 pm #150931 No this car will continue to be my driver. Im just looking fo rsomething thats not as rough. The strus on the car are originals im sure. And the springs im not sure where they are from. I just assume that they are ebay ones.

- Thu Oct 15, 2009 3:24 pm #150943 Get KYB Gas struts, They will make your ride much better. I have a friend with ebay coils and kyb struts on his lsvtec eg hatch. Car has a comfy ride, however when you go over train tracks you will know it.

KYB Gas struts are 159 for front set and 159 for the rear set on a quick google shopping check. that would be 318 for a nice comfy ride.

- Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:23 pm #153846 I actually ended up ordering a set of tokico illuminas. I had those on my Prelude and remembered how well they rode. I didnt have the car lowered though so I hope they work as well
