Default What are you riding on? Suspension Question

About to order springs and shocks for the lude..

what are you riding on and how low did you go. (pics would be nice as well)

Thinking about H&R race springs (1.9 / 1.6 Front / Rear)
and either koni yellow / KYB AGX / or Tokico Illumina adjustables

What are you riding on and how does it ride/look

I'm riding on H&R sport springs with KYB AGX's. Its the perfect street drop imo. I don't scrape on anything and it looks nice. My friend has Eibach Sportlines on his 93 VTEC with AGX's and its noticably lower. It looks more aggressive and might have slightly better handling due to it being more of a racier drop.

nice..
i just dont want the car to look bad..

when we went to heatwave we put 16's on the car and it looked ok.. but i had a huge gap between the tire and wheel well..

i want to get rid of that..


I like your car... what kit is that?

Good choices as far as shocks go. I sure you know this but you will have camber problems if you get the race springs, if you get the H&R sport the camber problems might not be so bad.
Street car go with KYB AGX, and H&R sports spring.
Auto X or Raod racing go with Tokico Illumina and H&R race springs.
Here's my setup of Tanabe Super H and KYB AGX
