Lowering spring, which shocks?

Post by Brainless »

I want to lower my suspension but can't afford those expensive adjustable shocks. Is there a set of shock designed for lowered suspension available for the mx-3? I know many people simply use performance shocks like tokico or kyb with their lowered suspension but I don't think these shocks are designed for that. Am I wrong?

get the tokiko ZX2 struts, do not get the kyb i had them and they suck, they are an oem replacement. IMO if you are hard up for cash wait to lower the car. get some good adjustable ones and you will be much happier , like koni res or yellows are KYb agx shocks, the yellows are crazy adjustable and unless u track race u wont need all the settings. plus u will need an allignment after the car is lowered

So you're saying there is no strut that are made especially for a certain model of lowering spring? I heard in the past that the kyb super strut (the orange one on [url=http://www.corksport.com)]www.corksport.com)[/url] were made for the B+G springs. Am I wrong?
