I just bought an 03 type s and I wanted to know what yall suggested for some coilovers

 

Ssseeeaaaarrrrcccchhhh!

 

I suggest the kind that will fit on an Rsx...oh yeah, and searching works too.

 

I have been looking at some K-sport and D2s but meant to ask what would be best for a budget

 

ive heard good and bad things about ksports, i have installed them on a 240sx and an eg hatch and i was surprised that they were alot easier to set up then my buddy clubs, as for why i liked them, was becasue there were all aluminum and wont rust but i dont know how long they will last but they did handle great in both cars. i dont know about the d2's tho

 

what is in your budget...what are you willing to spend

 

what are you gonna use it for? DD, autoX, track? there are a lot of coilovers out there, the question is...how deep is your pocket?

 

I'll be a nice guy and just say pick anything your wallet can afford since you don't know. Buddy club is my choice but everyone will have a different opinion so it doesn't mater what we think. Please search

 

if you don't plan on road racing or auto crossing, then most likely you won't need coilovers.

if you don't need the adjustabiltiy of coilovers, then you definitely don't need coilovers. a spring/shock set would be more than enough for simply street driving.

some may disagree with me, but i just don't see a point in spending money on something that won't be fully utilized.

 

Ksport or D2 will make your car handle like **** cause it has higher front spring rates instead of higher rear spring rates.

Our cars need more spring rate in the rear then front to make it handle properly... I would look at Buddy Club, Progress or Tein! A little more expensive but very good quality eitherway might as well do it right the first time even if it means saving for a couple of more weeks!!!

Btw u should check the FAQ next time because some of us might not be as nice the next time... I am in a good mood tonight lol

 

I have to say the Ksports...I have a few friends who have them on their DC5's and are very pleased...If your pockets have no bottoms...Buddy Club is the way to go..Apex'i isn't a bad choice either though.

 

they only thing i have to say bad about buddy clubs is on mine the screw for adjusting the shocks on the bottom of the front struts broke off while i was adjusting them. wtf!?!? anyone else have this problem?

 

Koni/Ground Controls

D2's and K-Sports are Taiwanese made junk. Progress makes a good set, I've heard mixed reviews on Buddy Club's suspension.

 

I vote Konis. I have them and love them.

 

if you get ground controls try to get custom spring rates and get higher spring rates in the rear then in the front!!!

Konis FTW!!!!!!

 

konis with Tein S Tech..would probably be the best for your DD
