If you had $1k to spend on a good suspension...what would you do?
I'm really debating on Tein HA's or a Ground Control setup with some good shocks. Keep in mind I'm not going full track only yet...maybe in a few years or something.
Thanks.
Thanks.

go w/ the teins...you won't regret getting them especially w/ the price that the teins are at now.

That's what I was thinking...I wonder why the price has dropped considerably on them?!

tein's pricing has gone down due to their new tein USA distributor.

What swaybars are you running?
BTW, for those who don't know I have a '92 CX B18C1 hybrid.

Zeal & Apexi? I thought those were way over $1000? What kits are you guys referring to, and where can I get me a set of Zeals? TIA!

Todd, don't put any JDM bullshit on yer car...here's what you can have (like my setup).
ITR Rear Swaybar with Beaks Kit and Parts...~120
GSR LCA's - $50
KYB AGX Shocks ~320
SI Front LCA and Swaybar ~100
Ground Control Springs - $300
Still got ~100 beeners to spend on whatever. Get a nice Strut Tower Bar or something. Way more bang fer your bucks...

No swaybars? No problem. I'd run Neuspeed-shortened Koni Yellows with GC's, 300F/400R spring rates.

"don't buy any JDM Bullshit"...what the hell is that all about? I'd rather buy a set of Tein's than GC's anyday. I'm in the same dilemma(sp?) Todd C's in right now; Tein vs. Mugen vs. Zeal vs. Buddy Club.

I'd just scower (sp?) the internet looking for a good set of used coilovers. Don't get adjustable sleeves, get the real thing.
I've seen Teins go as low as $800

"Keep in mind I'm not going full track only yet...maybe in a few years or something."
Ok, now why would he spend all his money for a used set of coilovers that he's not even gonna take full advatnage of (Who needs 16-Way adjustability?). When he can have a sweet street setup for the same price...
JDM Coilovers vs Shocks\Springs\Swaybars
Hmmmmm...........

I'd go with the Apexi WS dampers. its like $800. i spent around $900 for my konis + eibach set up. if i had to do it all over again, i'd just get a complete damper system. after that, all you need is a swaybar. ur handling will be exellent.
