Adjustable shocks or not

Post by TotalEclipseTinting »

I bought a set of adjustable coil overs for my 90 CRX Si and I need to buy shocks. My 2 choices are Skunk2 Racing Sport Shocks for $245(Non-Adjustable) or KYB AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks for $360. The car is going to be driven on the street but I've thought about trying auto x. I'm open to other brand suggestions.

i currently have Ground Control Coilovers on Skunk2 struts, and its not bad. With the Skunk2's they have a shorter shock body so they wont blow out on extremly low vehicles.

But in the near future i will have Adjustable Dampening, it is just the better route to take since you'll probably wanna upgrade later on.

Buy the AGX's, they will be perfect for what you need.

Look, you NEED upgraded shocks to compensate for the fact that you're lowering your car. The factory equipment just can't handle anything below very modest drops. Now, are you really going to be in a situation where you will need to be able to adjust the stiffness/reactivity of your shock absorbers? I would say that you would be better off getting the non-adjustable shocks, and saving money towards a VERY good set of tires. After all, out of all that blingin' suspension, what's the one part that actually touches the road?
