New coilovers

Posted 04-06-2011 at 07:44 PM by housegsx

The weather is finally starting to break. Now I'm starting to get in the mood to work on the car. I just got these DG coilovers put together and mounted...

I put them in last weekend.

I can't wait to put it back on it's wheels and take it for a drive!

	So jealous. How much did it cost you when it was all said and done?

	Enjoy, I love those on my car. I with with the 600F/350R combo. It's nice and stiff on full stiff, but quite comfortable on full soft.

	I will enjoy. Mine should be about the same then, they are 600/375. I expect it to both ride and handle better than the Teins.

	Glad to see you got these on!! Let me know how you like them once you get the car out on an autox course

	The coilovers look good. I've heard good things about the DG's. You said you switched because you didn't like the Tein's? I'm surprised, I have a set of Tein super streets and I love them. They might not be the best for auto x though I'm not sure.

	I had Tein Basics and never had a problem with them. But these should be a superior shock and shock mount, and have spring rates closer to what I need. Plus I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get in on the group buy.

	Lets us know how you like them!

	love to know your opinion as well. I went back and forth between JIC FLTA2 and the DG setup and ended up getting the JICs. Once you get some time on them please let us know what you think of the ride quality.

	where did you get the group buy at? i searched for the DG coilovers and was under the impression you have to make them yourself. i was going to get GC's otherwise

	After a weekend of spirited driving I am very impressed! The ride is better and cornering speeds are up. The car stays flatter and just goes where I point it. It is much more responsive as well. And I haven't even touched the shock adjustments. I don't even know what they're set to.

	looks very very nice!

	I'm pretty sure the guy who dyno'ed the shocks set them all at full hard so we could get some good matches. Be warned though, although they're a good match now, they may not be when adjusted. If the driver can notice the difference, well, that's another story!

	Thanks Eric! They still feel smoother than my Teins even at full hard. That's a good thing. I haven't driven it enough to know what adjustments I'd want to make. I thought I lost my ride height measurements, but just found them today. It's now sitting almost 1 inch higher in the rear and about 5/8 inch higher in front. This is how it's sitting now.

	she's got a nice stance

	perfect really. Minimal wheel gap, and enough suspension travel to maintain good handling characteristics I am curious how much that ran you, total? Last I priced it, it was quite high (but the best usually is!)
