What shocks/struts to run?!

[Brians3000GT]

Well I just ordered Tein H. Tech springs and I'm currently befuddled on what strut/shock combo to run with them. I wanted to use Bilstein until I found out you need a converter to make them fit and apparently no one makes them. I'm looking to handle slightly better than stock but still have a decent ride quality. Any suggestions would really help!

ECS struts FTW.


Some more info would be helpful.

Scratch that. I just ordered K sport Pro's instead!

Hmmm, I thought they were bolt on.

You could buy some for EVO and use these.

the bilstein stock replacement shocks are "bolt-on" as long as you use the front strut assembly as a core.

They ride good on moderate bumps, but with large bumps do not have a ton of travel, even with 2/3 of the bumpstop cut out. I'm considering pulling them apart and removing about 90% of the remaining 1/3 bumpstop I left in them to get a little more travel.

Tein H Techs would be a better fit than S-techs for the bilsteins.
