Default Shocks with S-techs

If I were to get some S-techs, what would be a good set of shocks that would work well with them? I'm looking for something good but still something that isn't the most expensive thing on the market. Got any suggestions?

Tokico blues work great with s-techs. Youll want to get a camber kit as well. Look into spc for that.

for daily driving? something name brand should be fine (Koni, KYB, etc.). You don't need to worry about your camber with a drop that minimal

Ya it's for daily driving. And I wasn't sure about the camber because I see different opinions on that all the time. Thanks for the quick response though. I've never done any type of suspension upgrade so I wasn't sure about some of the different combinations. I'll probably end up looking into those tokico blues because I've heard several good things about them.

Yes you do. I (along with many others) had horrible camber after my s-tech install. A 120 dollar camber kit is way better then a new set of tires.

No doubt about that.

But there are plenty of 6th gens that needed camber kits w/ S-techs. There are also plenty that have had perfect camber with s-techs, I know Mill$ didnt need one. But you might as well do it right the first time.
