suspension setup
Ok i got a 93 hb dx im puttin a ls motor in around spring i wanted to know what a good suspension setup would be. What kind of springs/shocks combos are you guys using and do you like them? Sway bars, should i get gsr or itr or something else. I live in ct and the roads are not in good condition there actually quite horrible so i need something that doesn't have a rough ride.
I saw tokico shocks/springs (blue) on ebay 310$ seemed like a pretty good deal but i dont know if there any good. Also should i go with adjustable shocks?
thank you for any help you can give I like to hear peoples personal experience rather than people tryin to sell you somethin thank you

Re: suspension setup (slntciv)
i agree...save up and buy the tein RE's..comes with adjustable coilovers, shocks, and upper pillar ball mounts. even tho they may be a grip...they are well worth the investment. tanabe sustec pros or jic magics are also awesome.

Re: suspension setup (tibbor)
i'm running tein ss coilovers. they give a nice balance of ride comfort and good handling. i guarantee the roads where i drive are much worse than where you are, and i get around just fine. get some adjustable dampers, with conservative spring rates (nothing too hard), si front antisway bar, comptech rear antisway / tie bar combo. <- this thing kicks ***. and some inexpensive strut bars, and maybe poly bushings too, if you don't mind sacrificing too much comfort..

thats the beauty of the comptech piece... absolutely no need for a beaks kit. it will not tear out of your subframe... well, it will if it manages to tear through 10mm of billet aluminum first. i love this damn thing.

Re: suspension setup (jwn7)
what do you guys think about koni yellows and ground control coilovers for an eg. My car will be a daily driver and autocross car. I think the whole system runs under 1000.00 and i really dont want to spend more then 1400 what sytems can compare? thanks in advance

Re: suspension setup (teamsol)
if you'd do a search you'd realize that more than half of the "serious" guys on this board use the koni/gc set-up because it kicks ***.
