    looking for a 1" drop

    Im considering a 1" drop using the eibach pro springs, I wanted to use bilsteins but it seems they aren't valved for our cars. and I dont want to deal with modifying stuff like A SPEC or Konis. So whats a good strut/shock to use?

    aspec really didnt take much effort...i actually find it the best option because it keeps oem quality
    and while you're at it your changing out the tie rod ends to better beefier ones

    if you're not willing to do koni's either...idk what else to tell you lol

    Haha Bilsteins are the way to go
    If not, it's all about Koni's.

    I'm on Koni's and took minimal work.
    Neo is definitely right about aspec. that's a great way to go.
    good street performance, and oem quality all the way around.

    Tokico d-spec? I think they're adjustable

    If you're worried about it not being valved for our car, than you shouldn't worry about having to mod.
    But if you're worried about valving, just stick to stock shocks? haha

    the way i see it is that if you're paying $800 for bilsteins they should revalve them for you, but no you have to pay an extra $65 each to have them revalved. and for that price I'm pretty sure there are better struts out there. Im also considering KYB AGX or Tokico sturts, but i question the reliability of those

    why not just get the HFP or Mugen pre-built setup?

    the tokico blues are a great strut that provide oem quality performance, if youre not looking for serious performance and just need a quality oe style replacement then imo tokicos are they way to go , theyve been around forever and are reliable , my friend sits on tokicos with eiback springs and he loves his set up

    The D-specs are a nice option with infinitely adjustable dampening. I have em paired with eibach pro-kit.
