Are your shocks in good shape?

datguydeni · 01-13-2009, 04:13 PM

Mark_Dorman · 01-13-2009, 04:41 PM

hum...might be time for an upgrade since they'll be off anyways...or at least replace them...

datguydeni · 01-14-2009, 03:17 AM

mmm how much are shocks anyways

well recalling that my integ which had a 1.5 inch drop from the beginning went down to almost stag close to 3 inch drop...
anyway to prevent that?

the guy on oc might sell it local >.>

Mark_Dorman · 01-14-2009, 03:23 AM

Good TRD springs and quality shocks for sure

datguydeni · 01-14-2009, 03:24 AM

well trd springs taken cared of which shocks and where to find them lol xD

eckoman_pdx · 01-14-2009, 03:34 AM

It sounds really fun...to bad I'm 1000 miles away in Portland. Why can't we have any meets like this in Oregon?

honda_bar · 01-14-2009, 11:16 AM

^ I love the responses that we get for our meets. Sammy is an idiot. It seems like we host some of the best meets around the country!

Davis · 01-14-2009, 11:49 AM

Dennis, I have the Turd/Koni combo and it's a real nice ride. Konis will run you aorund $600-700. I bought them from our sponsor, KO Racing.

WORD...I still wanna

him...

o6spdracer · 01-14-2009, 02:34 PM

hahaha...you guys are funny. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.

Dennis, some of the guys have put in koni yellows and like them very much. Check ebay, tirerack, etc. You are looking for a strut cartridge.

Mark_Dorman · 01-14-2009, 02:49 PM

KO's the cheapest I've seen. $158 each is the best price I've found...

Well, from up here it seems like you do. Much better than what we have, lol. Maybe one day I'll just happen to be in SoCal for a meet

Mark_Dorman · 01-14-2009, 06:54 PM

For sure...we're gonna hopefully be putting on a big Las Vegas meet that everyone is invited to...provided we can work out all the details.

Hmm, I have a friend of 20 years who lives in Vegas. Even if I don't drive there, I might have to go visit during the meet

The wife can't object to an out of state trip to an MR2 meet then...hahaha

Keep me posted on the dates, I'll try to go if everyone's invited!!

datguydeni · 01-16-2009, 04:18 AM

mm i read on the other forum that trd springs would only drop .5" o.0 on a 93 mr2... wrong or right.. if its .5" i don't think it'll be worth it.. maybe its just my big 17" rims making the wheel to rim gap look big.
