i know that 07 stock shocks have short travel distance than other previous years. i also heard that tein s tech is fine with stock shocks but im not sure if 1 inch drop is fine with stock shocks... someone give me an input ... thx

 

search it has been covered countless times

 

ditto

 

why the hell do you comment if your not gonna give him any advice ?

 

I have had no issues so far with the stock shocks and GF210's. You should be OK.

And concerning your other thread about the spacers, I have 25mm on all four corners and no rubbing. This also includes an SPC camber kit to get the rears back into spec, no rubbing at all with factory size wheels/tires.

On a side note...I'm considering doing the spring mount mod to the rear since the wheel gap increased after getting an alignment to adjust the rear camber....I would also like to go with 30 mm spacers on the rear...that is if I dont go with a wider tread.

But all in all, you should be fine with without having to roll the fenders yet.

 

Larger post count = Larger ***** !


I thought that was common knowledge.

 

you're gonna be fine on stock shocks with ANY spring for some amount of time. How long that really is, no one can say for sure.

That being said, I've been on gf210's on '08 stock shocks for 3000 miles, and so far so good. Springs went on around the 21k mile mark. I wouldn't be surprised if they start to feel wacky at 30k tho.

 

Damnit that means I have a pathetic little *****, better start posting on every thread. Even if what I say gives no help at all

 

i believe i saw ur thread of before and after installing GF210 spring. I love how ur car stands now. i saw many threads about people asking whether they should get "08" stock shocks or tokico blues but didn't really find one for "07" stock shocks.
Out of topic, but what was your front camber before and after installation?

 

i think the best way is to wait and save up money until shocks go blow up and get a set of coilovers lol

 

as of right now...since I only installed the rear camber kit and haven't yet purchased the front camber arms....my front camber is setting at -1.5 degrees. Which isn't too far out of whack considering specs are -1.3 min--0.2 max.

 

i think you can live without the front camber. -1.5 is nothing..IMO.

can i ask you a favor? how much is the under the front bumper lifted from the ground?
the reason i ask is because the slope of entrance to my garage is kinda steep. So i'm not sure if i can go into my little garage without scrapping under the bumper.

 

Thats actually about perfect for the street , and beginning to be enough for the track. Its should have come from the factory with -1.5 front IMO. No need for a front camber kit.

 

im on gf springs and 08 revised shocks. my ride at first was decent but now it's pretty much unbearable. i can feel every imperfection on the road and it feels like im driving on grenades.

 

Thats cause your shocks are blown, stock shocks don't last long with lowered springs.

 

Aren't the GF's a little on the soft side?

 

roger that terras but are the tokico hp blues considered stock shocks?

 

stock replacement, nothing special.

 

what brand of affordable shocks would you recommend for people who aren't in the position to purchase coilovers?

 

tokio, as above mention
