I'm looking into getting struts & springs or coilovers for my hatch. But I'd like to get some suggestions. My car is daily driven and I don't want to spend a butt load of money. Right now it's sitting on stock struts with skunk2 2" springs. So what would be a decent set up for a reasonable price?

What would ya'll suggest: Keep the springs and get struts? Or scrap them and get coilovers?

 

on my ep3 i had tanabe springs first then switched to tanabe coilovers.. Coilovers were absolutly siiick! huge difference. problem is they are expensive. best bet is coilovers just save some dough! its worth it!

 

Yea, I was leaning more towards getting coilovers. I just need some input from someone thats had a setup on an EF9. What is a good setup for a hatch that isn't goin to break the bank?

 

Bump, plz help with the input guys!

 

im looking to go these, idk how stiff they are tho. http://www.raceinspired.com/p-2486-t...1989-1991.aspx

 

i suggest kyb gr2 shocks i have them big difference but i have crap aerospeed coilovers so i suggest different coilovers kybs can be purchased at autoparts i got mine real cheap i work at advance auto parts got them for like 30$each

 

go with the skunk2 coilovers real nice.

 

K, thnx guys. One of my friends told me about a couple of setups, what do u guys think of them?

Tokico Blues w/ reactive springs

Kyb w/ Tien springs

 

how much are you willing to spend?

 

my suggestion since it's just a dd, keep the springs, change out the shocks to a heavy duty type, like koni STR, Skunk2 shocks, tokico blues. those are basically oem replacement shocks but are more heavy duty to handle the drop.

if i remember right, i think the skunk2 shocks are shorter to compensate for the drop. same with the koni STR, i think.

 

I'm looking to spend about 500, maybe 600. But if I can get by with spending less and not losing much then that'd be great.
