AE86 Shocks and Springs Wed, 08 October 2003 07:44 Go to next message
Im getting my new suspension sometime this week and i really dont know what to get.Ive been searching throughout these forums and still confused on what to get?.Im only going to use it for street use and maybe once a bluemoon the race track.
Im going to use this setup with 195/50/15 tyres.

Its either

whiteline shocks and springs $About 1200 all round

KYB shocks and jumbos $About $600 all round

KMAC gas shocks and springs $About $1000 all round


If anyone has these setups please provide advice.I know this topic has been done heaps of time but ive been searching and cant find what im looking for.

Thanks heaps dudes!!

Kmac just rebadge Pedders shocks... theyre not all that great in terms of 'sportyness'.
go for some KMac springs & KYB shocks if you can budget it.

(not too sure on the Whitline stuff, so im not going to comment on it)

Man i never knew companies did that sort of thing..

Maybe i should just get KYB shocks and lowered springs and then spend the rest on new bushes and maybe a sway bar and a strut brace.

what do you guys rekon?

dont get jumboz!

the fronts i got which were 2 inch lower, were about half the height of the stockers, definately not captive plus it had the tendancy to skip along the road if you tried to brake over bumby roads.

the backs which were supposedly 1.5 inch lower, actually sat at stock height. also the rates were really dodgy too.

the kyb shocks are ok for the money, but go whiteline or kmac for springs.

or if you know someone in japan tokico hts for under 500 bucks for all 4!.
