Shock and struts question...

shadow98gt · November 13th, 2009, 11:28 AM

Ok so i know this is lazy and i don't feel like searching for an answer so hopefully somebody can help me out. I need to buy shocks and struts for my 98gt. Im going to go with tokico but im not sure which one to go with. I'm going to go coil overs and this car will mostly be on the road and occassionally at the track so i want something that works well for both. Im stuck between the illuminas and the D-specs. any advise would help.. thanks

Illumina's are more expensive and better for drag racing but not quite as good for road racing.

So if you want total adjustability (illumina's have 5 settings) and you like road racing more than drag racing, get the D spec.

Or you could just get a set of Bilstein HD's and not adjust it cause you probably never will.
