| Depends on what you want yourself..
I have had Monroe Sensatrack gas filled shocks with 30mm Eibach springs.. thats really bumpy but could take corner really fast. Next time i will use OEM oil filled ones for lowering. Just because i want to keep a bit comfort. _________________  Hyaku ichi !! If they don´t have a AE101 in heaven... I´M NOT GOING!! | |
