Unmarked lowering springs

[jay1892]

Purchased a donor 2G GSX. Has purple unmarked lowering springs. Does anyone possibly know what brand they are? And if their worth keeping?

Could possibly be D2 springs, hard to say without at least a pic. My best advice though (since not very many companies for dsm's make purple springs) is to ditch them and go with a setup you know for sure is good quality.

I can research and read for days, but what is the best coilover setup for 2gs. Tein looks like a good setup.
Any advice apreciated

Tenzo Rs are purple. Not really worth keeping in the long run, but not worth swapping back to stock, either.

Tein or JIC unless that buy in is still going.

A custom Dennis Grant setup

My 1g has purple unmarked springs, they are fine, don't rub and doesn't throw the camber off.

Just started looking for suspension upgrades. Mostly street use, probably no track time for a very long time unfortunatly.
Is JIC good or did you have a better product to look into?

Tenzo Rs are purple. Not really worth keeping in the long run, but not worth swapping back to stock, either.

Its better to be low and tight, then stock. I'm looking for good quality upgrade paths. Any suggestions?

Well, there's the set-up that I developed for 2Gs. It requires a little bit of work, but costs about half what you would pay for anything that comes close in terms of performance.

Koni Sports - revalved and fronts shortened
GC sleeves
Hyperco springs - start at around 650/375
RRE plates and hats

You can also do this using smaller springs, in which case just search for "DG setup," instead

I've been looking at DC sport Upper Front and Rears. Look decent, but am only going by the name.
Havn't got a good grasp on Tie bars for the bottom.

Advice Greatly Appreciated

RRE? Sorry kind of new. Do you mean Road Race Engineering?
Thanks for the info.

 

[jtmcinder]

Yes. RRE=Road//Race

Tie bars should be pretty far down the list. Until you have a decent suspension, you probably won't have the lateral grip to bend the chassis.

Let's keep the questions/discussion to the main thread topic. If you have other questions, please first do some searching, and then post a new thread. If I try to search for "best tie bars" using a title search and the info is in this thread, I will never find it.

Then I'd say shut this thread down. He got an answer to the "what are these purple springs?" question.
