Should I pick up some coilovers, or put on the stock springs/struts?

Im really not sure about fitment...
How is breaking with the 24.5's, rub the fenders at all?

post some pics of your car running this size slicks..
Ive got an EG, so that would be most helpful...

thanks

 

Just pick up a set of Omnipower Coilovers, There will be times when you want to raise you car... since Im sure this is a street car.

 

well, im happy with the suspension I have on it now, I just dont know if i can run these slicks with it

Well what suspension do you have on there right now? That would help a little

 

Tein S-techs and Tokico Blues

 

I dont think that would work too well, you need to raise it up to stock height or else your in trouble.

 

I think you ought to get some coilovers in there at the minimum. Not a pretty site once that fender takes a bite out of the slicks.

Definitely raise the car somehow.

 

Yep, Screw up your slicks!

 

we use 3 inch stroke KING shocks with eibach springs, forgot what rate.
oh and lamb struts in the rear

ok heres a question... would stock suspension be ok in the front?
its the back that squats... correct?

 

Ebay coilovers w/ 1000lb drag springs in the rear. cheap and it works!!

 

i was wondering the same thing. can i run the 24.5 in slicks with h and r springs and type r shocks?

right now im running a 24.12in tire on the street and it does not rub unless i take a sharp turn or hit a bump.

Im gonna try a 24.5in slick. i dont think its going to rub down the track or when i brake.

You do realize the slicks are wider and also wider wen you air them down? Also the slicks grow in size when you heat them up in the burn out box For 24.5" slicks I think you need coilovers up front ot just be high enough to clear it. I have ripped a couple of bumpers off before, ben doing well with Tzus fasteners up front and raised up much mroe now also

 

Ryan, you'll need coilovers up front for sure. I wish you could have seen my slick from the PEI races, with those dips at the end of the track with the tires about 1 1/2" below the fenders it dropped down enough to grab one of the inner fender tabs, pull it out and then sliced the slick all the way around. Thank god it didn't blow it out but it ruined a brand new slick no the less... Order a cheapy set of coilover at the very least...

 

thanx for the info. i just think it sux that i have to re align and fix the camber on my car after i change the suspension set up. i was hoping the get it to work but i guess i might have the run 23in slicks.

yea, im gonna see what i can get for a cheap coilover for the front, the rears are ok?

 

It would be nice to have a good strong set in the rear, but last year I just ran a set of race spec springs in the back and coilovers in the front. It wasn't the best setup but I managed a 11.4 pass with it with full street trim. But if you don't have the extra cash or time, I would at the very least get some coilovers for the front and then get a good setup for next season.

 

got a progress drag setup last year, thinking omni now, but imma live with it for now.

 

ryan watch ebay for omnipower i bought mine on there cheap and there has been a few more sets since then they work.
