some input pls? suspension
I just bought some Konig Supermeshy's and i have stock suspension on my 94 Tegra. i was wondering if it was a good idea to buy My GC coilovers first and Tokico blues or should i just ride the meshy's on GC's and stock shocks? any suggestions on what suspension i should go with? i'm looking for good handling but AS STIFF AS I CAN GET. thank

1) GC coilovers on Tokico HP shocks will be crap. The shocks will blow out.
2) GC coilovers on stock shocks will be crap. The shocks will blow out.
3) Save your money and buy quality shocks, like Tokico Illuminas. With either stock shocks or Tokico HP's, the shocks will blow out and you'll end up bouncing all over the road. This does NOT equate to good handling.
4) Be patient, save your money, and do everything at once. If you don't, you'll end up wasting time, effort, and money (either for paying labor twice, or at least having to get 2 alignments).
5) Don't go TOO stiff on the GC springs. IMHO 450-500 lb/in is about the limit of what you should use on a street car, but even that can get pretty uncomfortable. Also the stiffer the spring, the more likely your tires will break traction unexpectedly.
