Whatchathink about this SET-up?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi ! i just got my ep3 a few days ago( im a noob @ ep3's ), and im shopping for my suspension.

What do u think about this setup?

Ground Control (eibach)
Koni Yellow ( adj )
Obx camber set ( F&R adj)
pros & cons? i'll be using my topmount & everything right?

Next....
comparing it to D2 motorsport Full coilover? pros&cons?

im on a budget....$900 or less

Thanks in advance!
any suggestions would help

 

any1?

 

hey man i have used a some what close set up on my old car it was okay i have the new skunk2 set up with their struts and coilovers and they are way better has a tighter ride and not choppy at all and its actually cheaper i have the skunk2 camber kits on it as well very nice setup. but it helps when you distribute skunk2 thats one of the reasons i used this setup. let me kno if you need them i have them instock as well.

i wouldn't go with anything else other than the koni/gc setup...

 

sway bars are very important to a properly set-up suspension. I don't know what size the ep3 comes with but I'm sure it could stand to be improved.

If you do get the GC springs make sure you dont get rates that are too high. Typically anything that a manufacturer rates as "sport" is ideal.

 

don't need the camber kits, moreover, you def don't need OBX camber kits.

not sure who makes camber plates for the EP3, but i wouldn't buy anything by OBX, ever.

Well if i dropped it below 2" or so i'll def need a camber kit!

I havent seen a CAMBER plate (pillow ball type) by itself?
Usally with FULL COILOVER SETUP's like TEIN, D2 ,Omni ( i think)

nope, even dropped 2" or more you won't need a camber kit. unless you have a reason to tune camber to a specific spec...

the 2 degrees of negative camber that might result (not sure what the ep3 suspension geometry is like) won't kill your tires. it's the toe that will.

though, now that you mention it, dumping a mac strut EP3 chassis might not be ideal for performance? i don't know, i'll readily admit i know nothing about the ep3.

 

it just sucks that they dont make a lot of parts for ep3s. but you're setup looks pretty good. the only shitty thing about it is that you have to custom fit the koni yellows. but its not hard to do at all. good luck

 

try to get some H&Rs
