I do not need an adjutable shock, just a decent one to use with H&R sports?? where is the best place to buy??

And how much should i expect to spend for install on 4 shocks for my 2000 ITR??

Why did you decide to go with lowering springs & aftermarket shocks? For looks? Ride quality? Stock suspension rocks! If your wanting to do better than stock suspension then I would rock some Full Coilover Kits (Omni's, Tein's, JIC,etc)...not springs & some shocks that your going to put togther. Spend the extra "Cheese" for a better set up!

my car already has h&r sports on it, i jsut want to know if these are going to wear down my stock shocks?? I just use my car as a daily driver, so no extreme driving, i just want to know if its okay to be lowered on stock shocks, or should i replace them with a sport shock. thanx

I just switched to Eibach Sportline springs with Tokico adjustable gas shocks and an Omni front and rear camber kit. My car has never looked or felt so great since I've had it. I had Tein HA coilovers on my other typeR and my current set up is much better. If you only have springs and no sftermarket shocks, there is nothing wrong with that, but the ride may seem pretty rough going over bumps and stuff. But hey, it all depends what your expectations are and how much $$$ you are willing to spend.You can adjust the shocks any time you want, but the springs are always gonna be stiff.

Yep, I have a set collecting dust that served me well for 5 years! Adjustable is nice.
