Default (Time for an upgrade)

Enough is enough! I'm sick of my current suspension setup. It sucks!

When I bought my hatch it was already equipped w/ Skunk2 adj. coilovers and tokico blues(front) stock(rear). I never really cared for the ride to begin with.

I've been saving money for an engine build but I think I need to upgrade my suspension, so I'll utilize some of that $$$.

Anyway, I have roughly $700-800 to work with, maybe more, but I don't really want to go crazy because there are a few other suspension related problems I need to address. The car is daily driven 100+ miles a day and the rear shocks are blown, springs are worn, I have no bump stops, blah blah blah.

I want something that is streetable and performs well. I know the GC/KoniYellow setup is popular and over my inital budget. I dunno, what do you guys think? EG owners please chime in. Sorry for the long post.

gc/koni yellows would be around the 700-800 budget though. but if you're looking for a decent setup for daily driving. . . . i suggest eibach sportlines/koni reds. i picked up the setup from shox.com for 450. koni reds are adjustable, but internally. once you set them, you can not adjust them without taking them out again. i have them tightened about half way. i think its stiff enough for some light spirited driving, but still a smooth ride for a commuter.

I was looking into the AMR full coilovers.

I'd like to hear more about them.

Those PIC coilovers sound nice, with a good price too.

It's so hard to decide....
