Default Best suspension package for auto-xing EG

I have been racking my brain and Googling constantly for the passed month trying to find the best Auto-Xing suspension for an EG. I have a JDM SiR-II swapped del Sol and the only 2 things I find that are appealing are the hand- crafted JIC Magic suspension, which is back-ordered until December, and the TEIN Type Flex suspension which is 9K/4K. This is looking ike my best option, but I want more choices to compare against. I want the suspension for the start of the Autocross season up here and money is not really an object at this point. Any suggestions or ideas would be awesome. As a reference point, I would prefer coilovers, adjustable shocks/struts, upper pillowball mounts, and strong spring rates (like 12K/10K. I can realistically settle for 10K/7K) Thanx for the input

P.S. The jap motor slaps me smack dab in the middle of SM2 (unless i an find a tech. inspector retarted enough to believe a B16A2 came in a '93 del Sol), so skies the limit with suspension components.

plus rear sway, either itr or ST 19 mm, pick your poison i guess,
tein and JIC sure sounds cool, but you cannot beat the koni yellow. and their tech support is second to none, can you ge tthe uber JDM BS revalved in north america for a decent price? and maybe look at what some other eg's for spring rates, and get custom rates for your GC coilovers

Money is not an object?

Koni 2812.

BTW, a B16A in a del Sol is legal in DSP.

why stop there? why not, penske? moton? ohlins? but the 2812 will definately give these double adjustables a run for their money at half the cost.

Since money isn't an object, maybe he can buy me a set of those 4-way adjustable remote-reservoir inverted Motons that King Motorsports has listed for $10,100. 22mm rod ftw I'd have no idea how to adjust them but they sure look pimpy.

JDM motor is not the same as USDM B16 that was in the 94-95 Del Sol Vtec.

humm...i can get you a set of ohlins for around $450 + shipped, they might need to be rebuilt though. I also know where some buddy club N1's are at, but im a little unsure of a price right now...

Koni sells an off the shelf shortened and race valved version of the Koni Yellows - http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com sells them, or pm "crx lee" here on H-T if you need another vendor. That plus GC sleeves and whatever spring rates you want is going to be your best bang for the buck.

Read the shock dyno chart at the top of this forum, the JIC and Tein stuff is marginal at best, have no customer service, no warranty (Koni is lifetime) and the Konis can be serviced here in the US if there is ever a problem. The konis just perform better for less money.

Those race shocks do not carry koni's lifetime warranty, nor does any of their regular parts if used for racing. Same goes for any racing shocks though. No big deal, since their customer service more than makes up for it. If you have any needs or problems it's very easy to get them taken care of...

The adjuster **** stuck on full soft on one of my SPSS3's and I sent it back, had it fixed and it was back at my door 5 days later. No charge Try that with JIC...
