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.

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.

Wow, I've had the race springs for about 8 months now. Drive my car daily and my stock shocks are still fine. U sure the install was done correctly?
