My rear shocks are shot and I need to buy a new set for as cheap as possible but that are adjustable and good quality. I plan on practicing drifting on a track, not just the street in the near future. I've hear kyb are good but the cheapest I've found were about $250. I was hoping for cheaper, so if anybody has adjustable shocks that they have found to be good and affordable on a student income help me out.

a lot of people, after getting agx regrets it

there are plenty of people that wants to sell their shocks

look around the the market place here and also on zilvia, I beleive I saw like3 identical threaed in 1 page few weeks ago

I'm not saying agx isn't good upgrade, but for my kind of driving I need something more

pdm-racing.com has the koni sport shocks for 125 each. they have one of the best reps around. many consider them amoung the best shocks. Also they think their pretty good shocks.

they are sport but not yellow right?

from my understanding it's barely better than stock

get koni yellows if pocket allows, if not then get used agx or junk yard some used shocks

well their yellow (color) and adjustible. I think the yellows are sports are the same thing. plus their the ones everyone gets. for all kinds of cars.

went to koni-na.com they dont call any of the shocks yellow. but the sports are yellow, so I'm going with that.

if you get yellows, make sure you are aware of the install process (cutting apart your stock shocks, drilling holes in the shock body, installing KONI cartridge. ive done this before, and its not that hard, but it takes a while. they are very good shocks.
