BJ sp20 shocks

Hi guys my shocks are due to replace soon so i was wondering which brand i should go for ., looking at monroe or kyb? Unless you guys recommend something else ., the car is lowered by 30mm RSR springs and ride is pretty sh*t., and i got 18 inch wheels fitted with 225 25 r18 and i have to change them to lower profile ones since based on internet im running 3kmh faster than speedo so any tyre size recommendation?? wheels are 18x8 i dont know the offset .,, ok thanks guys

Tokico Illuminas or Blues. Illuminas will mean you can adjust dampening for the spring.

or a a pair of KYB's
they handle well and are firm but not uncomfortable

for tyre size 215x35 is your best bet

best way to learn your speed is to do it by GPS as I do not believe the speedo calculator sites

I went from 15"s to 18"s and was still slower then GPS by 3 kms
and never been done for speeding,

Kybs., your talking about the shortened g excel ones? How much roughly are those?

For the tyres uhm cant really go for 215 35s its shorter in width than my current tyres, im thinking 225 35 /30 , but probably wont happen till next year xD

Currently doing 3kmh faster than my speedo never got booked still

look at what's available for sigma also as they are the same fitment, I'd be calling pedders, monroe etc retailers.
