Sorry guys, this must be old, there must be hella threads about suspension. (I'm on stock shocks, cut Eibachs - yuck) But I'm currently in the market for a suspension package...I've narrowed my decision down to three....(of course I'm up to any suggestions)

1. Tokico Illuminas w/Sprint springs
2. Apexi World Sport Coilovers
3. Peeps keep referring me to Tien shocks.

Any suggestions....and any pics would be very helpful - especially on an hatchback..and a snipette on how the ride is like would be helpful as well!

Thanks!!!!!!!

B_CRUZ!

since you aren't tracking your car, a simple AGX/ground control or lowering spring kit will suit you right.

if you need the height adjustability, the GC's are a good choice.

piaadoll

Hmmm Never heard of em...I may do some research.....Think I can swing something good for $600? Less then 6 bills would be nice.....

boostedcivicsir

ground controls are good, i like skunks as well.
i am sitting on neuspeed pro drops. if adjustability isnt an issue they are a good spring. dampening is being handled with tokico illuma's

piaadoll

You guys are definitely right...adjustability isn't high priority.. I should just chill with shocks and springs.....It's not like I autocross my EK....

With that said, what springs and shocks do you guys recommend? Think I can grab something less than $500? The best Shock/Spring combo with the most bang for my buck...

(OH! I don't like Neuspeed Race springs, they were my first pair of springs. I bouncing up and down like no tomorrow! So annoying! I took em off after a few weeks...So something stiff..but not too stiff.....

A happy medium, would be nice..

So how big of a drop do you want? Do you want to be slammed or just a nice small drop? I'm running H&R race springs and they are definetly stiff, but they virge on the edge of a little too stiff. They give a really nice agressive drop though.

piaadoll

well, i like it tucked..but not too tucked....not all ghetto slammed....you know? i like it lowered enough where it's still convenient...you know?

H&R...yeah, i was considering H&R coilovers for my audi..but i heard the ride is HELLA stiff.....and that you can feel every nook and cranny on the road....

i want something to ride almost stock....

piaadoll

Any suggestions on suspension package less than 5 bills? Sorry guys! I might have to buy a set by Monday.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whatever you do ...do it right....so i would suggest some good full body coil over system (tien my fav) just spend the money you can't go wrong wit full body systems...u can wit spring/shock combos...just my 2 cents
