good idea bad idea suspension ?

i was thinking of getting a neuspeed race spring with tokico blues combo, since those are the only shocks out. Is that a good idea, or should i wait for better shocks to come out. thanks.

I have the neuspeed race springs with oem struts and they work fine for me so far but my car isnt daily driven. Ive heard that the tokico blues are just a lil better then the oem ones they are basically oem replacements thats what i heard though. I would wait for a better strut to come out or go with a full coilover system.
I'm changing my set-up to buddy club N+ dampers

why not just keep the oem dampers till they blow? then you'll have a reason to replace them lol

Why waste your time and do the instal more than once? Why not just do it right the first time?

Does neuspeed race lows more than Eibach pro-kit???

If not, I know a lot of people who rides with them (Eibach) using the OEM shocks, they say the combination is great for daily driven.

Here in Brazil we don’t have the same street quality and they go just fine for Thousands of miles.

^the prokit is one of the mildest drops. at only 1", the only drop that is smaller is the HFP kit.
