I Was Wondering If Anyone Is Running KYB Gas a Just On Their Z. I'm Pretty Sure My Tokicos Are Going Or Have Gone Bad My 79 Has Been Squatting More Than Usual On Launching And Hard Acceleration ......If Anyone Has Tried These Shox Let Me Know How They Worked Out For You Or If Anyone Has Suggestions Feel Free To Let Me Know Thanks

NismoPick

Yep... I'm running KYB's with Eibach springs. Good street setup IMO. Firm, but not spine breaking.

Lupe

ohh Ok Because I Just Got My Other Set Of Springs In There Suspesion Techniques Literally The Last Ones The Company Had And Im Looking For Better Shox Than The Tokico I Didnt Like Them Much Ill Give The KYB's A Try

NismoPick

You didn't like the Suspension Techniques or Tokicos?

Lupe

I Have Tokico Shocks With Tokico Springs But The Shocks Blew On That Car So What Ima Do Is Take The Tokico Springs And Strut Out And Put In The Suspension Techniques With The Kyb Gas A Just and Ima Put The Tokico Springs On My Other Z Since My Other Z Is Still Stock Springs

Lupe

Tokicos Worked Fine I Liked Them I Just wanna Try Other Stuff Now Maybe Help With The Car Not Squatting As Much

NismoPick

If the car is squatting, that's a weak spring, not shock. If you want a firm rear spring and no squat, get some Mercedes 300D springs (I've talked about this many times).

Male

Are the 300Ds as good as aftermarket?

NismoPick

The 300D springs aren't meant for stock replacements. They are uber beafy... and make the rear end quite stiff.

Male

And eibach are just as stiff ?

NismoPick

No, Eibachs are not as stiff. I used the 300D springs on my rears until I got a full set of Eibachs. I never found a good junk yard upgrade for the front springs.

Male

Ok and there around a inch drop?

NismoPick

You have to cut them, so you can drop it however much you want. Feel free to search... As I stated, I've talked about the 300D springs many times, so I don't need or want to type it all over again.

Lupe

well my Springs are Brand New So Im Sure Theyl Be Ait I Just Wanted Something Other Than Tokico For Shocks Since Mines Didnt Last Verry Long Before They Lost Evectiveness Ive Only Had The Tokico Springs And Struts For About 6 Months

Sorry I don't have anything to say to help you but I read pretty much all the threads here, and no offence or anything but reading your posts hurts my head. Capitalizing everything just makes it difficult to read!

Not trying to flame you or anything!

Male

I have I've bin doing a little research on the 300ds
And you said you have to cut the eibach?

ThaPimpShrimp

I believe he said you have to cut the 300D springs, not the Ebiach.

Lupe

haha i get that alot this for you pimp

Male

Nismopick befor you swiched to eibach you said you had 300d cut in the back and what did you have in the front? And how much of a drop is eibach

NismoPick

This...

I had the stock front springs with 300D springs on the rear. Since I couldn't easily match up something for the fronts, I went with Eibach springs instead. I believe the Eibachs are 1" drops... or whatever they claim (a 5 second Google search will tell you).

Male

Yeah I was just confirming
