| Height issue aside...them tings runnin rel smooth. It very similar to the stock ride at this point. Dont know if that will change with the JDM shocks. The Megan was $1400. Cant give you my final verdict on handling yet until everything is sorted. |

| yup, after much reading, i saw that the teins too stiff for the stock shocks. So with the megans the back higher than the front more than with the originals? cus i know that with the originals the back higher than d front, if the difference is less than with d originals i will get a set, if is more, das 2 much work, but, did d handling improve strugglerz? cus das what i goin for, and it aint drop too low right? cus my flare might get tear up if it too low. I might get a pair of tokico on monday for d back, just off the munroe road flyover eastward, d man say he will see if he could get them will know on monday, .Brian Khan iz a madman, d man say he only sellin performance parts and that he only sellin the shocks in sets of four, he want $950 for d tokicos, d man by munroe road say it go be around or less than $500, so i waitin on dat, i really dont want to go back to kayaba na |

Remember that the Tociko that BK sellin is the HP series performance shocks hence the price. The tociko for 500 will be OEM replacement not performance types.
So far there is improvement in handling.
You MAY have issues with the front being too low if you have a kit on the car so beware.
Right now my car get hit bad. I'm basically fcuked right now.
Gonna be outa this upgrade game for a while... Sheit has hit the fan believe you me. |

how bad yuh get hit Strugglerzinc, i doubt u get it hard like me. Body parts an suspension easy to get jus have to look in the right place. check seenaths as red bwoy reccomend.
fellas i still gettin a knock on the suspension in the car. it sems as if is some bushing on the inner rack end or the steering rack. its nothing to do with the outer ends of the ca |

Got rammed from the back into a frontier. Back left fender inside the trunk.
If any one know where to find that fender please let me know. Thats the main part right now. Remind a brudda where Seenaths is again.
Bumper in pieces, tail light disappear. Good ting the man miss the trunk lid.
As for the front... think what happens when you ram a frontier and you know what that lookin like.
All this happen on the beetham so we did get robbed on top ah dat. |
