I searched on the topic, but haven't found enough information to base a real conclusion. Here's the deal: I've got a 93 coupe, and its been lowered on Sportlines since about last November. The camber is way off, and my tires are pretty worn on the inside, mostly on the front wheels.

I read up in the new SCC (at least I think it was the new SCC) that the stock shocks don't have the travel or thread or something for lowering springs, hence the extreme wear and tear on the shocks.

I would LIKE adjustable shocks (like the KYBs) because I'd like to lower it just a tad more. Anyone have any good suggestions? I don't want coilovers (way too expensive), but want something streetable. (Keep in mind i've been driving on just sportlines for almost a year, I'm used to stiff suspension).

What would you boys and gals recommend?

Thanks,Nick.

If you're looking for a good shock, stick a fork in the light socket.

Or perhaps, drop a toaster into your bath tub.

Die. I must admit, I still laughed. But that doesn't change the fact: die.

Get the KYB AGX's. You will be much more pleased if you save the money for those, instead of getting something non adjustable.Tyler
