Which Suspension set up?

[lawdaman]

Ok right now I have two options... I'm pretty much going mostly OBX R prod's seeing as me and my club are shooting for sponsorship. Right now I can get their complete Spec R Damper Kit for around $675 on a 40%-off sale, which is amazing. But I can also go the more affordable route and just get coilovers and tokico shocks for under $500. Which will be more beneficial?

Id go with Tokico struts and Eibach Pro Kit springs (for performance) or the Eibach Sportline springs (to slam it). I have the Tokico HP struts and Pro-Kits on my 1995 N/T...and it's a sweet setup...trust me, I drive it offroad and do a LOT of dumb crap in that car. Just don't sacrifice your driveability to get it as low as possible. Because if you don't do it right, you're gonna mess up ball joints, control arms and what not. Be sure to invest in an alignment and a decent camber kit if you plan on lowering more than 1.5". Good luck on the sponsorship.

Actaully most tuner shops I've gone to recommend OBX R. Thier quality is great and have a wide spectrum of parts for our DSM. BTW OBX R doesnt even make coilovers, atleast not for our cars. But they do make a DAMPER KIT, which is springs, struts etc. It normally goes for around 1200 bucks which is the normal or little less for a full damper kit (expect TIEN which has a basic damper kit for the 2g's for under 800). You've probably never heard of OBX R, because they are still a growing company. You wanna catch on to these type's of things if your looking for sponsorship.

Blk95gs, I'm not planning on slamming the car, I live in Florida. Floods and speed bumps done here dont play. What I'm trying to do is try on touching every piece that has to do with my rides suspension. Right now I'm going for better control and smoother ride without making it hit the floor.

Is the BASIC damper kit compatible with the EDFC?

 

[KRAZYKOREAN]

[totalboost]

yeah, krazy's got it right. Still it's the best way to go in my opinion.

OBX is SHIT. Get Tockio's and put a OBX sticker on them. Seriously...its CRAP.
