Ur not gona have a nice ride with coilover sleeves, but back to ur question. Koni yellows work well and have adjustable dampning(stiffness). Or if ur on a budget, KYB GR2s is ur best bang for ur buckVTEC DUDE!!!!!!!Comment

GR2's are OEM replacement so i think they will eventually start taking a beating. koni yellows are sick. maybe tokico hp blues or illuminas as they are adjustable. as for kyb, i know the agx's are better for a higher dropand are adjustable, but they are also said to be drop killers, meaning they will keep your car a little higher than if you were on another set of struts. hope this helps.

Koni Yellows.
They're adjustable, and are good shocks for drops.

tokico hp (blues) are also stock replacement. many people say they wear out really fast. gr2s seem to last longer.Originally posted by vinbon63 View Post
koni yellows are the best you can get for our car. megan racing also has full coilovers that are supposed to be amazing. copies of the tanabe sustec in think
coilover sleeves are garbage
if the op is getting knockoff coilover sleeves (megan racing is a knockoff company even though theyre one of the better ones) im sure the next post will be 'oh konis are too expensive'Comment

If your going for a 3in. drop, I wouldn't use Tokico HP's or KYB Gr2's they are both stock replacements and will blow under that stress.
Koni's would most likely be one of your best bets.
KYB AGX's are nice but if you put them on a 3in. drop it voids the warranty.

Still miss the CB though......maybe one day.Comment

and im prolly not goin the full 3in i just want to get rid of some of the gap between the tires and fenderwells... plus i live where the roads arent all smooth so i gotta avoid going to low on the count of bottoming out lolYou don't have to like what he did, but I would hope that you can appreciate the time, money and love that went in to the build.

kyb agxs blow under that sort of drop as well.
konis are best. ive seen gr2s survive with a 3" drop or more. not good, but for stock replacement cheap shit thats what i would get. but i have konis. so thats a moot pointComment
