Default suspenison experts.....

hoping u guys can help me out.......

just purchased a set of 18"s and i was hoping to eliminate the wheel gap. I was planning on buying just the eibach springs. How is this setup with the stock shocks?
will my shocks blow? how will the ride be? any damage to my suspension?
please help cuz i'm a total suspension newbie.

thanks in advance.

i recommend getting tokico shocks with them, that way you dont' have to pay for labor in the future to install the shocks. you can use the stock shocks, but with the new springs, it'll wear them out a lot faster, and then you'll be hearing a lot of squeaks. just get them together and you'll be happy. trust me. i learned the hard way and wasted labor money by not doing it the first time.

from what i hear from this board, eibach/tokico setup works the best together. i can vouch for that. i was thinking about the supra/kyb setup, but who knows. the supra setup lowers the front about half an inch more. i wouldn't do aftermarket springs with the stock shocks though.
