needing coilovers

by **rewmomi** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 9:13 am

I want a sweet suspension system that can handle my driving and something i can adjust when i feel like it i heard that coilovers was the best option for me. Do u know where i could get them for a reasonable price and still have the satisfasction of knowing they are good?

ebay. or performancecenter.com
coilovers will give you a super harsh ride, but best suspension set up you can get really. dont forget the rsb.

Harsh, like you'll FEEL every little bump you go over. you'll.. feel the road.
much harsher than a stock suspension or even lowering springs/struts.
coilovers are fully adjustable, which springs/strut combo are not.
Even with coilovers at maximum raise, you still get I think an inch or so drop over stock...
You'll feel the road, trust me.
RSB= Rear sway bar, best suspension mod for it's price (150 bucks. PM Regge [NVDIS1]) .. it'll let you take corners a lot better, and so you and/or your passenger(s) won't be grabbin' the "ohshit" bar.

if you dont go for coilovers, get some Tokico Blues and TEIN springs, ebay has the best prices for those. at half the price of coilovers, but you can drop it more with coilovers. I deff would go that route if i had the money. Although ive never rode in a car that had them.

For the RSB like jeff said PM reggie on here he can get it for you for the cheapest price.

With lowering the car and the rsb you'll deff notice a difference in cutting those corners.

What Unbalanced said .. and rsb and some tokicos and teins are the way to go..the rsb itself is an amazing upgrade besides a S/c

Noob

RSB (Rear Sway Bar) - get a TRD and forget about changing your struts if you want better handling and a Caddy ride.

Moved to Gen 1 Aftermarket...
