Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance New Shocks with Tein S-Techs?

Heya folks. Well, I had intentions of order a shitload of stuff over my spring break if the turbo wouldn't happen, but it looks like I'll have to wait a while to see if it'll go through. But this week won't be a total bust, so I'm gonna buy something. I'd like to buy some Tein S-Techs (1.4 drop front/rear). I know I should get shocks (KYB AGX is what I'd go with), but I don't want to drop 400 on shocks in addition to the springs right now (gonna buy a little at a time). My car, although it's a 2001, has only 15,750 or so miles. So, will I be able to get the springs now and get the shocks in a month or two without my shocks going to badly?

You should be aite with the stock shocks i think it can wait a month or two for the KYB AGX

Cool.

with only ~16,000 miles on ur car you should be fine, i put around 15000 miles on my tein's and stock shocks b4 i needed new shocks but i also already has 30000 miles on my car..

you should be able to go around a year on stock shocks. but you can save yourself money (install) and time by doing them both at once. I have teins w/kyb gr2's. works great.

ya it will save you money to get both installed at the same time, i have tein's with tokico hp's...

i just ordered some tokico shocks/struts for my tein s-techs off ebay. $290 shipped.

^^^ you wont regret it! they are awesome (tokico shocks/struts), definitely my favorite mod

Cool, thanks for the input, guys. I may end up ordering the shocks before I get the springs put on, just waiting to hear back from C2 about something.
