suspension ?s

[lk82]

Hi I have a few questions when i bought my car it had tockico blues and tenzo type r springs(i know but they were on there when i bought it) anyways i just bought some new rims and they are 18x8.5. Well as you know thats to big for that low. so my question is what should I do i have about $1000 to spend and I was thinking about going with a megan or ksport coilover kit with something to adjust the rear camber. or should i keep my tokico blues and get a ground control coilover sleeve kit and something else to adjust the camber in both the front and rear, And have money left over for suspension bushings.
or should i get tockico or koni something the is adjustable with the ground control coilover sleeve kit with something to adjust camber?

that is a lot of $ for fancy coilovers when your shocks & springs are already modded. if you have to have coilovers, keep your tokicos and get the GC coilover sleeve kit.

definitely spend $ on further modding the rest of your suspension. having the ability to adjust the front & rear camber is good provided you have a great alignment shop nearby. check out this thread for other great ideas: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/maintenance-repairs/363652-2g-polyurethane-bushing-kit.html

also, you will likely have $ left to upgrade your sway bars and get front and back strut/shock tower bars.

with the above mods you could be in for a pleasant surprise. as to adjustables: only go to these when your current shocks are either worn or if you still need more AFTER you've done the above mods, including modding key bushings with polyurethane units.

something else is a concern... if you have lots of pot holes in your area, consider bailing on the 18's. i don't get it with mega diameter rims. guess where the energy transfer will go once the rest of the supension is tightened up? [as the saying goes, bigger nicer rims can never be larger than the owner's ego.] ;-)

also, come time for tires, your pocket will appreciate you for it. unless you have monster brakes, 16x8 are quite nice with a GC setup, and a set of 4 performance tires are far more reasonbly priced and having to dress up a set of 18x8.5s!!!
