where is the sound coming from? the front or the back which sides?

if the front it may be the A-Arm hitting the top of the strut/shock tower

or also shocks/struts could be dying?

- Sat Nov 27, 2010 4:49 am #224791 if you go that route i recommend KYB AGX's they are 4 way adjustable and going nicely with a set of ground control coilovers. but i wouldnt recommend slamming the shit out of it as those shocks will blow.


if you are wanting to be slammed and with OEM shocks you can use 89 accord front shocks they are the same but smaller height. so you can go lower with out lower it all the way.

but

you can also do another good set up is Koni yellow's with GC coilovers


Tokico blues are nice but they end up being like the GR2's from kyb just like a factory replacement strut. but the blues are way better than GR2's

if you have the money i would choose the tokico Illuminas they are performance shock like the AGX but better.
they too are adjustable and ride nicely with GC coilovers.

- Sat Nov 27, 2010 11:26 pm #224869 id would just go with the ones that are for 92-95.

should be able to get the shocks cheaper than that? i think they are around 489ish around that area?
