Which would be the best shock to chose

[Pricey]

Gday all.

I tried searching for the correct info through this forum and i just cant find the very accurate information i want to know, In the next few weeks i am going to starts buying suspention parts for my 1zz and for springs i will prob get kingsprings lows, but i am not to sure wat the best shock will be best for this, and the kind i stuff i will be doing is like togay kind of roads which is swirvy and also the odd time i am going to get on the track, so what is your opion on the best shock for the job and how low did you make your corolla go with it making it look good and feel good without damaging anything.

Sorry if this shock talk has came up befor but all i could find is talk about springs.

Thanks Pricey.

yea if i had a sportivo id do exactly that.. but i recall sb using superlows up the rear and lows in the front to make the car level. not sure if this is the same issue with a conquest, levin or ascent.

... the kind i stuff i will be doing is like togay...

Just so no one can take you out of context, the english spelling is 'touge' :P

Best thing to do is price up how much the kings and konis (or other options) cost and compare that to Cusco Zero 1 or 2.

I have decided on a nice set of KYB Lowfers once I got the cashola :)

Bilstein is the only way to go

B-Spec that rolla!

I got Bilstein PSS coilover on my car and its perfect match between comfort and performance.

And lately I've been driving EVO 8 MR equipped with Bilstein shock from factory; its brilliant.

So if you can grab Bilstein = don't back off.

How much were they for the Celica?

[DANZZT231]

i purchased it from www.shox.com

incredibly fast delivery.

I paid about $1750 inc shipping and tax. This was in November I think, when the US / AUS is $0.93

By the way, for some reason most people combined their Bilstein shock with Eibach spring.

Bilstein do make their own spring; but Eibach seems to be the better one.

[SuperDave]

Which PSS is that?

And as far as my quick search reveals, there is nothing for the rolla.

[Pricey]

Thanks guys for all your replys and i no wat i am after now i just cant wait to get some cash so i can start buying these thing so i can instal them.

Yup, even the newer model evo's will come standard with the Bilstein + Eibach combo.

For a Corolla, I do not see the point in spending over $1000 on suspension unless you car is a dedicated track car.

Standard shocks cost $84 each... You could always chuck lowered springs on and when the stockers are spent, just buy new standard ones $84 a pop... cheap cheap cheap :D
