does anyone have any suggestion on shocks for a 1999 lowered TH magna


thanks

my personal preference for shocks is Tein - but to get some for magnas requires custom jobs and tein are expenssive to begin with - u ask for custom - u in the shit for money!!

but i reckon Koni's are okay - however the best adjustbale coil overs u can get - i cant currently think of the name of - i will post it here when i remember - but koni's are really good and fairly well priced too!!

but if u do adjust them on a regular basis as they are adjustable - ie - u cruise on soft during the week but pump em to hard for racing every weekend then after about 6 months the seals break down and start to leak, but that is with constant adjusting - if u set them and leave them i have never heard of them going bad!!

koni arn't to bad however i think Monroe Sensortrac and brilliant. Heard nothing but good things about them.

I have a mate with bilstiens in his prelude (total for suspension is about 8 grand) ... easily outhandled him in the hills with only king springs in my car. He wasnt happy :P

Go the magna :D

Go luquid. I will sware by king springs. Thats why im stocking them and nothing else!

GBM sits on a nice set of Lovell 'Super Lows' and they are amazing!!

A++++ My highest recomendation!!

While Kings are good, I have the Pedders in mine, In many years of using pedders I have never had any problems at all. I still need new rear shocks as I could not afford at the time to buy new ones but I will be using comfort gas. The problems with shocks like Bilsteins etc is they are too hard, which is fine on a smooth race trach but crap house on a rough road as the car will tend to bounce around corners.

Hey Manual, Tiens are pretty hard - you need a kidney belt in my friends GTR :)

i love tein just for the neon green colour they make their coil overs!!

my mate has them in his 180 - and i know what you mean - feel every pebble on the road!!

but still - the colour is sick!!
