    Default Suspension discussion

    Hey guys...So as you know im trying to get rid of my current buddy clubs and go for something better and a lot more track worthy. I started this thread to see what your guys expriences are and what you guys would recomend. I want them to be adjustable on the top and to focus on handling. (not drag)

    Another option I was considering until I have the 2-3g's was to buy some springs for the stock suspension and put some sway's and some strut cars. I do want it considerably lower though...and most ive seen is only like 1.5 inches

    Tein ha coilovers if you can find some . I hear mr shocks with springs are good. It depends on your driving track and daily. Everything is different to everyone. I got lucky and got the tein ha's which aren't in production. Gl with your search

    for just a spring i dont think youll find better than the swift spec-r. i love mine mounted to the MR bilsteins. for a coilover though, i think a KW V3 either Robispec'd or Muellerized, with a spring rate that suits your needs would be a great, fair priced, rebuildable setup.

    I decided to save up for some AST coilovers and then put some whiteline sway bars

    How much did those run you? I've been researching those coilovers a bit myself.
