Default need replacement shocks!!!!

ok i have installed kg/mm dr21's and my front shocks are basicly shot, and i know my rears are soon to follow, so i need to replace them, the problem is i was going to go with koni yellow's and i wanted them on the second perch, but i have BBS RG-R's in 18" and i think i will rub on the second perch, so basicly if i do find out i will rub i want to have some other options for shocks. which shocks are a good combination for my springs and also won't drop the car more than another .5in? thanks

i have had them on for about 3 months now. and they are making a noise every time i go over a hard bump, one of my friends shocks were doing this too, he replaced them and no more noise so i think they are. the springs are reall stiff.

I'm really surprised your not rubbing already with the race springs. Don't those things drop the car 1.5

Unless you've beat on them, your shocks are still in great condition. Mine creak and groan when it's cold out and I hit a bump at slow speeds, but that's all. With 0.5" of gap, you're going to shred your wheel wells the first time you hit a large, unexpected bump at speed.
