Before my car went into the body shop, I had some super high coilovers installed on it. They slammed the car so that it was probably about 2-2.5" below stock height, and the ride was really bouncy and bottomed out on everything. Last night I raised it up once I got the car out of the body shop, so now it's about stock height. The car doesn't bottom out, but the ride is still pretty bouncy though. It's definitely a lot bouncier than stock, even though it's about at stock height. It makes me wish that I hadn't lowered the car at all in the first place, at least not until I could afford new shocks to handle the drop.
I want to get some new shocks fairly soon, and I was considering Koni Yellows, so I did some research and found that they cost $300-400 just to install them! I was wondering if any shock is going to cost that much to install, or if it's just the Konis. Also, is there an alternative to the Koni Yellows that provides close to the same handling, but without adjustability(Or the higher price tag.) Thanks! -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

QUOTE (JWalk1818 @ Nov 15 2002, 12:03 AM) GROUND CONTROLS on Eaby are like 155, is it the real thing? Can you send me the link? Have you check out the part list on 6gc.net for suspension? Have you check out JIC to? Either way, I am not sure. Can you search the web for pricing and compare them? -------------------- West_Minist
