What brand of street shocks do you have?

Apolan, I originally planned to do my short stroke conversion with the AE92 shocks, I eventually decided to try the Tokico's, everyone here has KONIs so I wanted to try something different so I could compare them and because the Tokico HTS's are so recommended by AE86 drifters.

Basically its the same modification, the only thing to take into account is that the AE92 shocks are slightly different size so the spacer may need to be slightly different.

I don't know the ride with the AE92 shocks. Comparing when I had full AE86 KONI Yellow setup to my current Tokico front and KONI rear and Circuitfreaks full Tokico setup, I would say that Tokico's are much stiffer and have a wider setting range. I would say KONI gives a smoother ride. No idea how they compare in the long run offcourse.

If you're going for pure track or drift car, my gut feeling sais to go with Tokico allthough the KONI shocks will do you just fine aswell. My reasoning is simple because they are easy to adjust and have a wide adjustability range and stock can be setup much stiffer then KONI (you can get KONIs revalved). Out on the track you can fine tune them, yes you can do the same with the AE92 KONIs but rear you still need to go through some trouble. Not very handy at a track day where you're trying to setup your car.

If you're going for a dialy driver and occasional track car I would say KONI, on their softer settings I think they'll give a much more comfortable ride.

But thats just my opinion with far to little experience to form a definite opinion.
