I'm new to the site. Maybe this has been discussed before. If so I apologize. Does anyone know where I can get a good coilover setup for my 97 Ex coupe? Full set and prices would help. Thanks

That link posted is going to help you a lot. Off topic, I highly recommend Ground Control coilovers, those are great!

 

it'd be easier if you told us your budget min to max and what your looking for. will the car be auto-x or just driven on the street.

some of the usual recommendations are:
Ground-Control (GC)/Koni Yellows
Buddy Club N+
Tein SS or Flex
Omni Power

Prices range from $649 for Omni to $1000 for some of the rest. Each has different spring rates, so thats where knowing what you want to do with the car will help, also is this for EG (92-95 or EK (96-00)?

search around for the above, or check out robearracing.com, they've got the best prices i've seen on the Tein and Buddy clubs.

Koni yellows are $460 shipped and GC is $339 + shipping to give you an idea what that will cost

Or, get fucked and spend more money to fix it. Spend more the first time around.

 

TEIN SS all the way, my hatch rides smooth like butta

 

well the dropzones come with a life time warranty on then and they are actually ciolovers so i can adjust them but the things is is that they are in my price range but do you guys know of and suspension that i can get for like 350 or under that is good

 

350 and under?

You're looking at a spring setup... not coilover.

yeah get some teins or some other full coilovers like omni or apexi.. they all ride great.. its better than buying coilovers and another set of shocks..

Dont get dropzone . I have them on my car now and thought I would go the cheap route. Well 2 yaers later they are blown and my car is bouncing like crazy. save your cash and buy something reputable

 

$350? for shocks and springs? don't waste your money, save up atleast and i mean minimum $500. for $500 you can get KYB AGX and a good spring like H&R Sport or Race if you want real low. $350, you can take that...spend $20 on beer, get drunk, wake up and come to your senses that suspension is probably not something you want to cheap out on. cheap = danger or double the cost since you'll realize it should be done right. hell, aligment alone is what $60-$70 over there?

$350 won't even buy used spirng+shock setup i(n ING Dirct voice...Save, your money)

 

Check the classifieds forum. But, seriously, you are going to have to put out a little more coin than $350.

You could always find a setup for $350 and then just break your **** and be out $350. Or you could put another $350 up and spend $700 on a quality kit.

just get eibach lowering springs. unless ur drifting or actually racing. then you get what you pay for.

Yup, my buddy learned this the hard way.

 

My friend has K-sports and loves them, they were a little expensive too. If you buy used suspension, there is a reason why its for sale. Don't get stuck with someone elses problem and buy new.

Alot of times people get in an accident and total their vehicles and have nothing to do but part it out. They make hella good money doing this and you save alot by finding these deals. Hell, If I find a full GC setup for $400, I'm jumping on it. GC is quality ****.

Exactly. Used doesn't mean it's been beat on, how can you beat on suspension? Who intentionally hits speedbumps hard, or goes in holes? lol
