Default What brand suspension and why><????

I run Skunk2 non-adjustable on my beater and i love it besides the fact that you cannot adjust the shock...........

And on my other weekend driver i run the BuddyClub N+ Spec Racing Kit and it is very nice when set to a stiff setting.....but on the other hand when set loose i feel like i have no suspension on the car....???

I've heard nothing but good things about PIC's, also excellent customer service. Going to be my next suspension setup when I get the money.

Nobody said nothing about a budget. If there is no budget why not get the best you can buy?

I really like the Type Flex but they are some money but if you got the money then spend it on the best you can buy....!! I personally love Tein.....my first suspension setup was KYB adjustables with Tein S-Tech springs and they worked wonderful for 4 years until i blew the front right shock then i went with the Skunk2 Pro-C Non-Adjustables and been on them for 1 year and have had no complaints....

Drop zone (ebay)-I have these for years (I was broke then). They did pretty good because they did not bounce too much on the freeway and made too much noise when hit pot holes. might b that I was runing (dropzone) springs instead of coilovers. If your on a low budget you could get these for the moment or save up and get some real deal.

Im running advance design shocks, gc sleeves, and eibach springs. I love this setup. Pretty much the same gc/koni setup mentioned earlier, but I like the advance design because they are double adjustable...

Mugen is jus pricey because they are a factor honda upgraded part buddy.....but if you think thats Mugen is good i think there are companies out there with way more potential becasue all they specialize in is suspension like Function & Form Type II's.....

I do not consider KSport suspension to be "quality parts".

Come on man, seriously. How can you even compare F&F2's (same old Tiawanese-made CRAP as KSport and D2 and a few others) to Mugen??

Koni and Ground Control both specialize in suspension, and they both make very high-quality parts.

Haha okay guy. So my N1 dampers made by Showa aren't as good as some TDM crap like Function and Form? Damn I should have saved all the money I spent on them and just got some F and F.

I like my Progress stuff but I think that's all i've ever driven on. We don't have fancy adjustable ***** but we build the Series I stuff in house and we can even re-build our shocks!
