i chose these short stroke shocks coz i'm gonna drive at a lowered height, for aestetic reasons but also with handling in mind...
i plan to use the combination of shortening struts and using spacers, i remember there's a few threads which demonstrate this... i just have to look them up again.
I know there are a few of you guys out there that have personal experience with these dampers on their cars but i'm fishing for recommendations to get the most "streetable" ride with these...
i'm aware people may argue that these are more better for track than street, but if anyone has achieved a good ride for the street(twisty roads included) with these dampers in their current/past suspension setup, can you lead me in the right direction as far as choice in springs, ride height, RCA's and other suspension mods go?
This has been answered a million times already if you search but im not a rude spanker who will flame you for not searching.
Personally I think its a lot of money to be spending on shocks for a street car that will never really see any hard driving but its your money and they'll work perfectly fine with any springrate you throw at them. I'd recommend a 6kg Front/4kg Rear to start with as its stiff without being too hard for street but It's really personal preference.
As for ride height.. If you can swing the cash for coilovers then the adjustablility is worth it. Personally my car is dumped on it arse but..
A. My car isnt daily driven
B. I dont care about scraping my car over speed bumps and gutters
You don't really need RCA's but they do cut down on the bump steer you get when you lower your car. Look into an adjustalbe panhard rod as well if you want to run wide, low offset rims or you may run into clearance problems at the back.
