That looks sick, I will have to show my friend this thread, this is inspiration for his black vert '99 T/A. How much of a drop do you think you have over stock? Looks pretty slammed.

These Stagg shocks are great for the money. Will they last a long time? Probably not. Will they out-perform Bilsteins, Koni's, ect? Definitely not.

But the fact that they are relatively responsive, dampen well, are aesthetically pleasing, and can handle lowering springs all for under 200 bucks is a no-brainer. I wouldn't run these if you are looking for a big handling upgrade and are expecting excellent quality.

Just like Sam Strano said... you guys need to look at the bigger picture. Anyone interested in modifying their car needs to put the money in the right places. 200-500 dollars on a cold air intake vs a quality set of shocks like Bilsteins should be an easy decision. Put the money into the more important things that you will feel every day. You will love driving your car more with each thing you do.

Going off what everyone says these springs dropped their cars, 2.25" front and 2" rear. Advertised is 2" front ant 1.8" rear.

That looks pretty slammed. Hope you don't have any hope of running aftermarket exhaust.

TSP 1 3/4 headers and TSP True Duals. I know how to tuck everything up so clearance isnt an issue. I dont scrape anywhere with this setup right now

Expensive shocks have expensive marketing departments that need to be paid for. Like the OBX headers are Kooks knock offs, has anyone thought maybe this is a Chinese knock off of a much better shock.

But however sam told me they lowered my car more then 1.2 like the seller said he said more like 1.57. SO now i am looking at getting slp springs or stock springs... I have Fell lenght header and just installed cutouts so walmart speed bumps are big hills now ><

I put some stagg shocks on yesterday in the rear and so far good
Paid $42 plus $14 shipping.
A friend also got some rears for his 5 series BMW put on yesterday too and he too is happy.
