[knight007]

Hey guys, I need some opinions from you all. If you don't mind of course.

I need some suspension, my OEM stuff is not hooking up the way I'd like it to. A buddy of mine had some TEIN basic struts and coilovers he bought for his GS-T a year ago. Well since then he's totalled the 4g63, and bought a street bike. Anyways, he said he would sell the set to me for $500. Brand new, still in box. I don't know much about suspension honestly, so if you guys could give me an insight on this deal, that'd be pretty cool..

Here's the actual product(s):

Sorry to Hi-jack!

On a side question, what did you guys notice after installing struts and springs? Better pull from the hole, more traction, smooth ride, ??

I dont have any of that fancy stuff like you or big rand , but I have some tokico hp and some progressive rate springs with a 1.5"drop. I personally noticed that body roll is almost completely eliminated i can actually take turns faster than my car is capable of and my car will start sliding without body roll ever bieng an issue. I do run 18" low profile toyo proxes fz-4 tires as well, which reduce any roll. This of course is not my field of specialty and there are some 4g63 guys on here that know tons of handling tech im sure they will chime in soon.

 

[beating4g63s]

only have one car thats lowered using eibach sport springs with stock shocks, waiting on a set of tokicos.

 

[Strm Trpr]

On my late GST, I ran E.S bushings coupled with Tein Flex Coilovers.
That car stuck to the road.
It was so predictable.
I miss it desperately.

I only hope my GSX can handle just as good once she's done.

 

[BigRand]

The tien basics start at $750 and so do my tanabe shocks.....in relation they are basically the same. Depending on how long he's had them for I'd probably try to talk him down to $450 or whatever the retail price of a set of tokicko illumina's or koni yellows are.

After installing the springs, hugging the road isn't a problem....but first and foremost are tires...tires tires will determine how your car handles.

Now I just need to add a couple of sway bars to this beast, and call it a day...and get rid of these freaking energy suspension motor mounts....my car shakes way too much.

complete e s bushings,kyb agx struts, adjusted bump steer with rod ends,rod end rear suspension arm,adjustable tubular rear upper control with rod ends, 1" rear sway bar,front and rear strut bars,rod end sway bar links,whiteline caster bushings

 

[knight007]

wow thanks for all the input guys. I was just trying to figure out a good suspension for my blown kyb's. I bought some cheap ebay coilovers for now and this summer im gonna buy a set of tein coilovers.

 

[totaleclipse_05]

Ick, please don't install those eBay coilovers. I helped my friend do his because he HAD to have them done and the ride was horrible. Shocks were bottoming out (Tokico HP) all the time. VERY harsh ride. I would definitely sell those coilovers and get something quality.

I've heard those get pricey, come rebuild time. Personally, I'm saving up for something like this...
