    what struts and shocks to buy?

    I have eibach pro-kit springs on my v6 and I wanted to get a nice set of shocks. I wasnt sure what kind to get. I dont want to spend over $500. I was thinking of a drag setup for good launch but I didnt know because I have such stiff springs. let me know what you guys are running. and what you think would be the best for my car.

    what set of tokicos do you have? the blue ones?

    also is adjustable worth it? I found kyb adjustables for 450 shipped. will I be able to notice the differnece with my prokit spring and adjustable shocks?

    I believe they are 419.00 for the set of 4, not bad for a lifetime warranty shock and strut setup.

    Very noticeable, one click will make it seem like a different car.

    will those adjustables affect ride height or just ride stiffness?

    i have tokico 5ways and i love them. when you turn them up there super stiff but you can turn them all the way down and go to the track and run decent times
