Springs and shocks: Best combo?

[talonation777]

Hey, I was just wondering if I could get some input on shocks and springs. I want to know what the best combo is. I'm looking for shocks that are smooth and offer a pretty stable ride. As for the springs, I am loking for springs that offer a minimal drop becasue my front bumper sits pretty low already. If anyone has any input that would be great. Let me know what you have on your cars, and let me know what kind of prices I'm looknig at. Thanks. The springs went on my car, so I'm thinking I might as well go aftermarket. Thanks again.

My opinion is Tein H-techs and Tokico Illuminas, there are several posts about this topic.

i made thru alot of posts on such a question and seems to be people choosing KYB GR-2 SHOCKS and EIBACH PRO-KIT SPRINGS
that's my 2 cents

and i did too, made order for those

Well u need to keep reading.... the tokico illuminas were preferred over KYB GR-2 SHOCKS in several posts. I had the eibach pro-kit and the ride sucks. It also lowers the car to much. Tein makes a better spring with a lot less of a drop.

How much can you buy a set for for springs & shocks?

Edit: I don't know why this was moved since the suspension largely affects performance, even though it's not directly engine performance...

Depends where you buy them. Try www.extremepsi.com and Ebay (just make sure that the shocks are NEW).

 

[DarkSeraph]

They only have the Tein S.Tech springs on Ebay, which lowers the car a little too much for my comfort (1.3")... bummer.

I got a question on these shocks, with the illuminas, do you need to get a camber plate as well do to the drop? Or is the drop in spec enough that the factory setup will still work for alignments?

 

[tibby_boy]

factory will work, though not recommended. i would also recommend kybs and eibachs.

I Have The Kyb Gr2's And Sprint Performance Springs. I Have Not Had Any Problems With My Suspension At All. Yeah, It Dropped About 1.8 To 2.0", But I Have The Adjustable End Links For My Sway Bars And Adjustable Camber Kit As Well, So I Know This Works...... Just Go With Your Gut, Do Your Research And Find It Out, JUST MAKE SURE THEY WORK AND FIT FOR YOUR CAR.....
