Well. My question is does it matter what adjustable shocks you have and match it with any type of spring?, for example (Tein)

I also want to know anyone is running on non adjustable in the front and adjustable in the back? I'm going to do that so help me out.
thanks.

I just installed, tuesday, 2 Tokico HP struts in there rear. I can't exactly tell you if the tokico struts are better then OEM, which they are said to be, only because my passenger rear was really blown and the other was on its way out so the handling was horrible. Plus my bad wheel bearing.

Why only adjustable in the rear? If i want adjustablity on a pair of shocks i would pick the fronts. This is not due to the fact that they are adjustable but the fact that the adjustable shocks seems to always have better valving vs. the non adjust. Front wheel traction is also more important then rear.

sorry, i'm mistaken myself, I want the ride height. I need coilover to do that, so of course I want a full set of coilover. sorry, you guys could close this thread.
