What struts and shocks with Eibach Drag Kit?

Chappy · 04-10-2001, 11:34 AM

I'm got the springs sitting here waiting on install, and am needing to get new shocks/struts for the car. I know a lot of guys use 90/10's and 50/50's... which is an option that I'm considering. I have also heard of people using
stock replacement items with good results. If the stock replacement stuff will work well I will go with it as it's going to be cheaper on my pocket right now. The money is a little on the tight side.

Whatever the options are what brand of parts, for the 90/10,50/50's lakewood or competition engineering? If stock replacements, what brands are good ones and were to get them? Thanks!

You've sprung for the springs (har har), so don't skimp on the dampers now. If you're a little on the tight side with funds, then look at Lakewood or Competition Engineering shock & struts. I've got Lakewood 90/10's up front and 50/50's out back. If you've got serious cash burning a hole in your pocket, then look at the Hal line of adjustable shocks and struts. AVO is another adjustable possibility, but I've known people to have problems with their quality. Some guys are starting to go with the Tokico's, but I really don't have any data points on their performance. All together, you can put the Lakewoods on all four corners for less than $300.

yeah, i say get the lakewood 90/10's also, i love mine, and if youve got a really small budget, just leave the rear shocks alone for now, they'll be alright for a while, but definately look at getting some 50/50s down the road. hope this helps,
