suspension question?

[808_SpyderGST]

I recently installed the eibach pro kit for my spyder since eibach is the ONLY comapny i oucld find that made springs specifically for the spyder. However i love absolutely love the handling but its not low enough for me. I would really rather sacrafice ride quality and have a lower ride so can anybody suggest anything ANYTHING!! from new spings to mods for the eibachs... thanks

Talk to Eibach about their ERS system. It's Eibachs coilovers, but you can customize the drop AND the spring rate.

Or call ground control and see if they make any coil-overs for a spyder.

what about eibach sportlines????

 

[RocketDSM]

Sportlines drop too much to retain suspension travel unless you have really good roads in your area. Also, they are not adjustable, just like the Pro-Kits. They aren't sprung too stiff, but the rest of the suspension has to be built around the drop.

No see there were limited production of spyder GSt's and NOBODY makes a spring specifically for the spyder Gst, there not a high market of GSt owners who wanna drop there rides. Some springs from the AWD and FWD will fit but they sink or sag because of the wieght distrubution in the spyder GST... Besides I keep hearing ground controls are HORRIBLE , alot of people say they ride like Shyt, what do you think?????

I have ground control and koni's on my 98 GST and love it! I haven't seen anyone on here saying that ground control ride like shyt! Where did you hear this from? I've heard that those cheap coil-over kits ride like shyt.... but what do you expect for cheap parts!

ya i noticed on DSM tuners everyone seems to love their ground controls but at almost any shop i talk to they say they have a bad ride i dont know i've already been screwed once with the eibach pro kit i;m trying to get all the advice and input i can before i buy my new suspension, thanx yo!

go wit coilovers or intrax springs

A bad ride is not a problem with the coilovers. Its a problem with the shocks. Your springs/coilovers only control weight transfer. Shock absorbition and spring dampening is controlled by...well... "THE SHOCKS" hence the name.

If you have a sh!tty ride, then look to upgrade your shocks.
