I think Honda Modulo offers optional shocks. They may be Japan only though. I'm sure somebody like A&J Racing could get them.

koni yellow shocks are pretty much what you want/need. they will outlast your car and offer great performance. height (through perches) and rebound adjustable.

Where is the prime place to get the Koni yellows? Also do they lower the car too????? Or would that be what the aftermarket springs would do? Im assuming the Koni Yellows come with out springs, so which woulds mate well with them?

check out www.shox.com


you can use the shocks themselves to lower the car up to another 1/2" inch using the ajdustable perches (where the spring sits on the shock). you will need aftermarket springs (i highly recommend kg/mm or espelir) to really lower the car. the problem with a spring/shock combo like this is that it can make your car look uneven if you don't do your research properly. for example i'm running kg/mm race springs and the koni's. by talking to people, i knew that the rear would be lower if i didn't adjust the perches. so i put the fronts on the lower shock perch and the rears at the factory setting. the drop is almost perfect now. so make sure you ask around to see what setup works best.
