Okay guys..

Looking to change out my shocks...

I currently rock the KYB Gas shocks but the ride is still a bit stiff...so what is a good set of shocks for a daily driver?  Also got and Eibach pro kit on there (I think that is what they are)?  But I think I need to invest in a smoother ride..

Ive had kyb gas adjusts on a stock springed fox, to me the kyb gas adjusts are pretty smooth for a performance shock.

I currently have them on a 240 with prokit springs and it seems to ride slightly firmer than stock.

My kids beemer with sportlines and the kybs can be a little harsh over sharp bumps though.  

Looking at your drop... maybe you have sportline springs?

Do you have any bump clearance on the rear? When I had mine lower it only had maybe 1" of clearance off the stop.

The MM bump stop is super nice, not a harsh slam like the stocker.


I like the KYB ride the best IMHO. But my eibach springs were just super stiff...so dunno what would help...maybe try change the bumpstop?

QA-1 Stocker Stars...  12-way adjustables.  Set 'em soft and cushy for daily driving, then tighten 'em up for some twisties!

Fox and a smooth ride never went together, but I think your lower profile tires have a lot to do with the ride quality. I'm running KYB's all around, and I like the ride qualities. For the smoother ride invest in a Lincoln

Maybe a set of Bilsteins will help, 'cause Teins are only 1/2 as good. Wink  Roll Eyes
