1G spring or coil over?

[Boost91Talon]

i have a 91 talon tsi FWD i have KYB AGX front and back with eibach prokit...if i do a coil over will it hurt my handling or make it better?

Coil-over will be better than a normal spring kit for handling and you also have the ability to lower an raise at will.

how you figure? if he is talking about like race coilovers, jic, tien, ect. then your right... but i have heard that the eibach springs are better then ground controls...

Ground Control now uses Eibach springs.....

with coilovers is there a need for a camber kit??? or can u just take it to a shop and get a normal alignment done??

It depends on how low you go..... Camber in the front is a good thing, camber in the back is not. EXCESSIVE camber is never a good thing. If you don't slam it ricer style, fix the rear camber and leave the front....

Just my .02

how is camber in the front a good thing?

 

[slugsgomoo]

camber in the front can be a good thing when you go into a corner at high speed. lets say your tires are angled normally, with the tops in just a bit. as you go into a hard corner the weight of the car shifts to the outside. the reason that cars in things like figure-8 racing use REALLY high camber, is that when they go into the corner @ 70-80mph, it actually puts the tire flat on the ground. REALLY wild.

you can read up on it somewhere online i'd imagine.

I'm not too sure. I remember hearing back in the day that they were using something else......but of course that was 3rd party info so...... but anyhow, they do use Eibach now so there are no worries. The real question is what spring rates to go with for AWD and FWD???

i thought i read somewhere that you could get them with Hypercoil springs also

Ya a little negative camber up front is fine/beneficial because it gives you better turn in and response at high speed like someone said^^^ i put my pro kit on a couple weeks ago and had a little bit of neg. camber in the front but im just gonna leave it and rotate tires more. My rear camber is perfect. Now on subject if you are talking about true coilovers then it will really be better performance than springs and shocks although your combo is a very good choice if on a budget(same combo as me, i dont have $1000 for coilovers )
