shortened shocks - ae86?

Postby lofreq » Wed Jan 18, 2006 12:37 am

hi all

im looking for some heavy dampening/stiff shocks (inserts) for ae86, to fit in my gx71 - just wanting some brand names/models that you can steer me towards, or steer me away from, from your experience.

need to be as stiff as possible since the mark2 is much heavier than the 86 - ive looked at D2 and been warned against them... have seen TRD ones advertised but nothing recently... tokico/HTS and AGX seem to be the brands used in jp but i dont know anyone who sells them here?

what do u suggest?

try suspension tech in east tamaki, his names chris, he does bisltein ( stiff as f*#k) inserts off the shelf and also adapts to suit, he can also fabricate a platform system as well if needed
no fun if it aint sideways
