First of all, I would like to let you all know that I DID do a search before posting this question up. Even though I found a lot of threads relating to the question that I am about to ask, I didn't find any that answered it, or even came close.

I am about to purchase a suspension for my 1997 Type-SH, and I am lookin ginto the following setups: the Tein Type-Flex, Tanabe Sustec Pro S-S II, or the Ground Control/Koni setup. Before you start making comments about my budget or ride comfort, I want to let it be known that performance is what I am seeking. All three of these suspension setups are in my budget range. My question is this: which of these three do you all think will perform the best, assuming that I supplement it with driving lessons and good tires ( I will be the first to admit that a good suspension means nothing with a crappy driver behind the wheel ).

Please note that this question is directed towards real racers, as well as people that have owned any of these three. Please do not chime-in with a vote for Ground Control/Koni simply because you have heard everyone else say that it is the best and you have joined the bandwagon. I really would prefer that all reccommendations be based upon experience, not hearsay. Thank you.

 

anyone?

 

Well, I almost got Tein Flex, but I chose D2s in the end.....but those aren't on your list.

 

i love my ground control coil overs. but i tokico illumina struts and skunk 2 800lb race springs on the back

 

I have the Koni 5 way adjustable shocks and ground control coilovers.

I know its the best thats why I got it.

 

I would suggest the Flex....

i personally have the Zeal Function B6 which my friends with TEIN all wish they could trade for.

 

They make those for the lude ?
Im looking and i dont see Zeal Function B6 for the prelude. I could be wrong though.

 

ive got konis on mine and i love em

 

Tein Flex

 

my koni GC setup was great for HPDE's, A/X, and daily driving. i would never run anything else.

GC's and some kind of konis are the only suspension i'd consider for my purpose built race cars too.

 

Thanks for the replies gouys... I'm curious as to why nobody had anything to say about the Tanabes... I already have both the Tanabe front and rear chassis underbraces, as well as the rear anti-sway bar.

 

i have gc's with tokico blues... i didnt buy them, came with the car. But honestly the GC's feel too soft for what i wanted. I dont know if the blues are to blame, or the spring rate isnt stiff enough for my liking. I'm looking into the tein flex's myself, but not for another few months. Xmas stole all my money.

 

I have the SS from Tein, and I couldn't be happier. Seeing how the Flex are even more aggressive, I'd have to give my vote to them. Even though you said not to vote. I am anyways so there.
