- Koni's are a good choice They are adjustable. I have Carreras that are adjustable and work well for racing. I used to use the KYB gas adjust shocks but they did not work well. They had too much gas p

- There should be resistance on compression and rebound to full height. It should take a bit of pressure to compress the shock, I guess how much is how strong you are. Mike installing new tires due to

- Let me add to Fred's reply below. I do not suggest the Gas-A-Just if your using the Nismo front springs. They shocks are all rebound and with the stiff springs, your front end will bounce. ask me how

- You're one step ahead of me! I already figured out that I'm going back to the GR2's for the front, because I have the shortened springs and miss the height reduction. But I'm keeping the Gas-adjust

- Struts can be tested with the bounce test too. A strut is a shock that also serves as a suspension member but it's still a shock absorber. One of the problems with newer cars is that their springs ar
