The Official "Post Your Suspension Setup" Thread

[TSIMonsteR]

KYB GR-2's on suspension technique lowering springs. Dropped about 1"-1 1/4". Coupled with Megan Racing Strut bars and poly bushings up front...made for a very nice ride.

Looks amazingly good! I have a set of GST wheels that I think you have inspired me (finally) to paint.

Care to PM your method? (I need to source some eagle center caps too!)

DG Coilovers (Koni Yellows, Hyperco Springs 600F/350R), Energy Suspension bushings all around, Megan Racing front and rear sway bars, Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs in 245/40/17 flavor on some 17"x8" +38mm Evo 8 wheels.

It was a 1.5" drop front and rear from how it sat, but it seems a bit lower than other 1.5" drops I've seen.

 

[TSiAWD666]

- KW Variant 3 coilovers custom valved/sprung by Robispec w/RRE upper spherical mounts
- RM Racing Front/Rear Sway Bars
- SPC Upper Front Upper A-arms (+6.6 deg caster hehe) for camber/caster
- Ingalls Engineering rear camber adjustment
- Modifed front subframe by Robispec for improved suspension geometry for better roll resistance when lowered
- Flipped driver's side trailing arm bushing for increased caster
- Front/rear strut tower bars
- Ronal LV 18x8.5 +35mm wheels with 245/40/18 Kumbo Ecsta Supra tires

Don't ask me the "drop" as I don't know it. I don't care about the drop as long as I have the shock travel I need. Car's corner balanced.

 

[crash89]

If it didn't have the spoiler or those side skirts, It would look a lot better IMO

Spoiler was just a test fit to see what itd look like, and the skirts will be painted this fall, along with the whole car. I love the oem look but since everyone else does too I wanted to be slightly different.

I know we have more lowered DSM's out there dangit!

I'm going to need some more posts!! I am trying to persuade myself into buying something to take the lift kit off of the GSX. Come on guys.

 

[agarc023]

Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustables with Eibach Sportline springs for a GST. 3 shims in the upper rear control arm to fix camber.

What kind of rims are the black with polished lip ones?

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

This is my setup:

Tokico Illumina struts
Ground Control springs
Sway bars
Ractive strut tower bars,

I would post pics, but until I get my engine and tranny back in, it looks like it is on stilts.

 

[razrman8]

Lol, mine looks like its on stilts. Sadly, with the engine and transmission in it

is this the HP Blue shock with Tokico springs??

 

[crash89]

Spose I can update this since my set up has changed. Megan Racing E-Zstreet coilovers. Fronts are pretty much maxed out as low as theyll go, rears required a little adjusting to get how I wanted.

I'm running Tokico springs and shocks. It handles great but it's just a bit low for the roads out here and I scrape the front bumper more than I would like.

Planning to switch to Eibach Pro springs so if anyone has some Pro's for sale or would like to do a swap now would be a good time while I have my car apart for a 2.4L build.

Edit 3/1/12: Just picked up a set of BC BR Coilovers from S&R Performance and will be putting them on once I get my front aluminum subframe bushings installed.

Koni yellows eibach GC springs. 1.25 drop for now. during the Auto cross season I go 1.75 drop.

getting a paint job soone side skirt will look beter.

Pro- handles like a champ. cant wait to run around a track with them, wating for the season to start here.

Love the pics everybody.

o yea forgot cons
cons- none so far love them,

only wish I went with 650 rates in the front instead of 500

man now that I look at it on a pic, my wheel gap looks ugly. I have a set of gst rims that I am going to powder coat and put on some G-Forces on, I think it will be better then.

 

[hereitcomes]

KYB AGX, Eibach sportline, Ingalls camber. 2g swirls.

There has to be more people willing to share their suspension setup.
