Shocks/Struts you use with your Eibachs??
Just a poll to see what shocks/springs you're using with the Eibach Pro kit springs.
Please post your most objective view of how you feel the ride quality is with your combination of Eibachs and ???. Don't forget to start you comments off with ID'ing your shocks/struts. Thanks.

using the stock struts with cut bump stops. The only problem I seem to have, is that on moderate to heavy bumps, the rear seems to bottom out easily. I may go with aftermarket struts because of this.
I also have Aerospeed springs on a 4th gen and the strut are original with 106k total miles, around 35k on the springs without a problem and no bottoming out. That is why I went with the stock struts on the 5th gen.

I have Eibachs with Tokico blues on my 2000 Maxima. I had the Eibachs installed when the car was brand new. I kept the stock struts/shocks til the car had 19,000 miles on it. In August of last year I had the Tokicos installed. Im much happier with the ride with the Tokicos. The stock shocks were becoming too stiff. The ride is not as stiff with the Tokicos and the car handles better.

BTW. I have KYB\AGXs modded by Maximum Tuning with GCs.. Don't ask how my ride is.
I think I need knew Shocks & Struts..
If anyone wants to know, best combo would be H&R and KYB\AGXs..

They also ride the best.
If you search around you'll only find a few who have experienced problems with Toks.
Give the AGX's some more time and we'll start to see some of them fail too. We've only have them for Maxima's for a little over 2 years now. I have a rear AGX that clunks. It's a valve inside the shock thats gone bad. It's still nice and tight, but noisy. I've got just about 25K on them.
I'll be switching to the H&R/Tokico combo this summer. The AGX/H&R combo I'm running is to firm. I want more luxury back in my luxury sport sedan.

i've had Eibach/Tokicos before..i really liked the ride..Tokico blues are definitely softer set of shocks then the AGXs. but it gives you smoother ride and less harshness over rough roads.
