Well I have a Ek9 and need to get new springs really bad. my car is really bouncy, i did the mistake of cutting them. Well i been looking around to find which will give a nice ride comfort and keeping my car slamed still. Should i buy coilovers or springs???

rpared01

wow, i would have never cut ek9's springs. but looks like your in a bind. if you want to do a quick fix for know, the get some stock dc2 springs. they are nice and stiff, plus they feel better than the stock ek springs

but the thing is that i hate having a stock ride hight... i just doesnt look good. lol, i get a lots of compliments about how my car looks and sits. Its Black With the Bronze Rays Wheels and CF hood and a big O Intercooler in the front :D

Save up for coilovers, but for now since I'm almost positive your car rides like sh*t and bounces all over the place, get some EM1 springs or DC2 springs like previously mentioned, then save up for a good combo like GC/Koni for coilovers.

well i have the money, and i was going to buy skunk 2 springs with skunk 2 struts or the Tein SS full Coilover kit or Omni Power ... But im looking more of a Smooth Ride with a Quick Response of steering, i heard that Koni is Really good too.... Dont know which one to get

BUMP, BUMP

Oh well if that the case and you have the money, i would go with tein. i have the flex and they are just perfect. I recommend the the tein flex.

Ek9FullRaceTurbo

they told me that they are the same as the Super Street... What is the Differense?
Cause i was going to buy the Flex Type. And how is the ride comfort??

rpared01

oh its the best, because if it feels too stiff, just pop your hood and adjust them to be more soft. i don't think the SS have that feature.

I'm suprised you own an ek9 and don't know anything at all about suspension AND you cut your springs at all, worse yet to the point where your car is "slammed," and even worse yet, on that car. If you want to slam your car you most likely want coilovers and don't put them on those shocks. Get new ones. Search and you will figure it out.

Well i used to own a 98 Type-R, and got wrecked. So i just bought EK couple of months ago. And in the DC2 i had Tokico Whites with Eibach springs. And when i bought the EK the guy told me that he'll drop it for me, and i thought he was going to but some cheap coilovers, so he cut the back springs and but 2 coilovers in the front. Big mistake in my part. So im just trying to get a new suspension but i want to try something new...something smooth, My plans were to buy Koni Yellows With Nuespeed Springs, but my friend told me get Tein Flex Type or SS Coilovers with the EDF. But dont know what to get. I want something that i wont regret buying.

Need suggestions people...!!!

its bouncy because it got stiffer.. the shorter ur springs the less it has to retract back and forth. if you do get new springs or suspension then dropping your car WILL make it more bouncy because your putting wieght on the springs and making it stiffer. if you dont want it to be too bouncy then dont drop your car too low.. unless u get the new skunk2 pro coilover ones.. they have the adjustment for that..

what about the skunk2 springs?? which are better the skunk2 coilovers or the skunk2 springs??

well you should get the ones that come as a complete. If your gonna go the spring route then pick a company that specializes in that field like tein or something. the whole skunk2 suspension comes with everything. springs, shocks, tower, coilovers etc.. I would say go with the complete suspension kit from skunk2. I think they are pro Cs.. or you can get something else as a complete.. like function/form 2
