shock that can handle a low drop under $400 i searched but couldnt find what i was looking for.
hey guys. well i think i am pretty much set on my decision of buying ground control coilovers but now i need to know which shocks to put on with them. i read that the koni yellows are the best bet for ground controls but these are a little bit too much money for me. i was thinking of gettin tokico blues but i might end up just damaging those because they cant handle a low drop.
long story short: what shocks can handle a very low drop with ground controls for under 400 bucks?
i guess it doesnt have to be under 400 bucks but i would really like it to be. thanks for any help guys

i dont think anything under $400 can handle that low of a drop, tokico d specs or koni yellows are your best bet, i heard koni's require a lot of modification tho

Either spend the money on it, or gamble with used ones. If you buy Tokicos, you'll spend $400 every time you blow them.
I don't know why we need to go through this all the frickin time. Its a pretty simple concept, thats been beaten to death. Only Konis are valved firm enough to handle straight rate 400+ lb springs.
Tokico says no lower than 1.5" without problems, and everyone seems to want to go lower anyways.
