who make good struts/shocks?

[nos240]

Im planning on getting some aftermarket struts for my s14, but dunno know which to get or which is good. any recommendation?

[DSC]

for an s14 I've actually never hear of anybody getting anything buy tokico blues (non adjust) or koni yellows (adjustable).  I'm stuck with my stock stuff till I can buy me some coilovers so I can't give you any first hand recommendations.

take a look at http://www.ground-control.com/

ground control only made spring/ collar setups I thought??

anyways, I have an S14 on GR2's and it isn't bad.  A bit better than stock.  Koni Yellows are going in soon though...

[tnord]

ace you're right about the GC's, i use tokico's and am happy with them

actually, Eibach makes shocks now (they might just have someone else manufacture them i don't know) if i had it to do all over again i would get them with my pro-kit's

[hideyoshi]

GAB shocks are available for the s14

When you guys compare GR2s and Tokico Blues to stock shocks/struts, are you talking about base model or SE? Cuz I thought the SE has better shocks/struts. Are the GR2s and Tokico Blues better than the SE shocks/struts?

[Azarael]

I've heard good things about the koni adjustables ...

well if its a s13 i would not go with pro kits i have a big time problem with them as far as drop and so do others lately.

*i knew i shoulda went with coilovers...soon though very soon*

gr2 and tokico blues are not an upgrade.  basically just a replacement

[jyt747]

Vancouvers14... Why do you feel they are just a replacement? I'm about to get some tokico blues, so I'm just wondering about your input. Thanks

Are the KYB agx's only available for the s13?  I had them on mine and they made a world of difference.  That and some stiffer springs and you could sit on a corner of the car and it wouldn't move.

[tnord]

i will strongly stand against the statement that tokico blues are just a replacement, i personally use them on my s14 and anticipate a 1.5-2sec decrease in lap times, so you be the judge

[nos240]

tnord, no offense dude, but that sounds a little rediculous. 1.5 to 2 second off your e.t. is helluva lot. i've never heard such thing.

[my240likenoother]

being on a stiffer car means less air interuption and you stick to the road better so corners ir faster
im not suprised that you 2sec on the lap time

i noticed you threw in the term &quot;e.t.&quot; which is typically used with drag racing, so i assume that's what you thought i was referring to, i compete on a real track with both right and left turns, keep in mind they are used in conjunction with eibach's pro-kit, trust me, this will produce a dramatic improvement

whoever is thinking about getting tokico's, they are a definite upgrade, take it from someone who uses them for their intended purpose
