FL Suspension Advice!!

ok so besides the recent Engine problems i have been having, it's time to replace my shocks

i have two sets i have been eyeing but i'm having a tough time choosing,

the first set is the koni sport shocks with either ,eibach,tein or rb springs

the other one is the full tokico d-spec shocks.

they both will end up costing about the same, she is my daily driver but i intend to take her to the twisties in the near future.

i have seen the pics on how much they drop and they look great.

Tokico's are easier to adjust...Koni's are better shocks...Take your pick.

they are both adjustable stuts. With the koni's you need to adjust them before putting them on the car. The tokico you can adjust after they are installed. I went with the tokico D-specs so i could keep them softer for daily driving then stiffen them way up for track days or mountain drives.

LOL, i have been reading all over about the konis and all i read is good news from them, the recommended springs are the tein h springs so i might go down that route.

good thing is that they are new and come with an instruction manual on how to adjsut em lol
