I need help choosing suspension im lookin for something thats good for a daily driving but then agian give me the performance and that would put in work in the track!

heres my choices

skunk 2 pro c or s?

tien flex or super street?

koni yellow with gc and extended top hats?

k sport or d2?

or omni suspension

and this is goin on a ej1

 

If you can afford it go this route.... you'll thank me later

 

And wat would be the price for koni

 

If you end up choosing Skunk2... go Pro C! Several of my friends that track their cars pretty seriously are also entertaining the idea of switching their current set ups.

 

bout $150 PER shock, so like $600 for all four.
$330 for Koni compatible GC
if your going GC top hats, they're $120/pair

you're already over a grand. just go for the K-sports, they're better anyways.

36 level dampening adjustments...haha overkill but hey give alot of room for play!

has compression/rebound adjustments where Koni only has ONE type of adjustment. (i think its rebound only)

but yea no need to make a hybrid suspension system, go with proven rally set-ups and be done with it.

 

I'd completely disagree with you.

"36 level dampening adjustment" doesn't really mean much. Typically, out of a needle valve, you get very little adjustment range. It is just the nature of the beast. So you have 36 "clicks" but from click 1 to click 36 you wont get much change % wise, which is important.

"Compression/rebound both being adjustable" It appears they are adjusted by one ****. In everything i have dealt with you DO NOT want a rebound adjustment to effect your compression. You really want them to be independent of each other.

On my car i adjust rebound frequently, but rarely ever touch compression, because the tracks around here are all relatively smooth.

 

i dont have either set up in my car. im going illuminas and GC's and custom top hats, i do a lot of freeway driving and i ride slammed so im gonna go with Tyson's suggestion on this one.

there is a thread around here thats k-sports vs koni's and people give some very good arguements for the k-sports. i dunno i think yellows/gc's are just a bit over rated.

 

link?

I don't think the koni/gc is over rated. It is a great setup, for what it is.

Proven reliability, proven warranty, great customer service, proven quality.


IMO most of the "JDM/full coilover" stuff is way way over-rated. There is good offerings in that line up, but it isn't in anything off the shelf.

 

ksport vs koni

**** load of full coil over that no one here ever talks about

From a guy who is sponsored by the company, i would expect nothing else.

And that is one person in that thread.

 

haha oh really just that one guy? i thought there was more. anyway did you check out that other thread? some crazy stuff on there.

 

Yes, i really don't see what so crazy about it though.

Some of the Ohlins stuff is good.

But I didn't see anything that was "cazy"...

 

most of the setups on that site arent talked about on HT. i find that pretty weird, there is more out there than just koni and illumina.

 

Very true.

And there is a lot more out there then whats on that site too.

 

oh well, ill shut up since the OP hasnt even responded haha

 

idk which one to choose is tien flex any good i been in superstreet and i loved it but i want something for the track and daily driving it

 

you said you want something good for daily driving, what do you mean exactly? my daily driving is dumped like a ****, but your definition may be different than mine.

lowering springs with good struts would be what your looking for if you just want a modest drop (1-2") with NO height adjustability.

i would go for the Tien lowering springs i think for like $300/set. then you should pick up some Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGX's.

i know people will talk crap about those shocks but if you dont plan on slamming it, dont get all crazy with koni yellows and adjustable this and that.

 

my car is slammed on skunk 2 pro s 1 pieces i want something more stiff and for track but that can be drivin daily without blowing quick and lasting me btw im not slamming all the way if i get new suspension...
