So I'm looking to upgrade my suspension to koni yellows and g/c. My car is a DD eg hatch that I am looking to do auto x in the future with. I was wondering what spring rates you would recommend, and where would be the cheapest place to find them with extended top hats? How much would i be spending for this set up?

 

Just call up Ground Control. They'd set up tons of cars and should have the advice your looking for. Just tell them exactly what you want to do with your car. You can order straight through them as well.

 

I just went 380/380 on my 93 si and its great, good ride quality. most people will tell you to go stiffer in the rear for autox

hope this helps , also I'm lowered like 1-1.5max and shocks are koni yellow, stock tophats

 

1 out of 3 professional dc, eg, ek setups consist of koni yellows w/ ground control coilovers & top hats.

 

450f 400 rear.

if you want a good autox setup your going to give up some ride quality on the streets, but if you want a good dd your going to give up some on the track.

 

Actually, there is a third choice, but really good shocks are much more than most people are willing to spend.

 

go to the marketplace and look under the suspension...thmotorsports had the best deal on the koni/gc

 

Ok so I understand that i have to give up some on street or track. Thanks for the advice guys. So thmotorsports really has the best deal on koni/gc?

So whats the third choice? Spend money? lol.

 

it was 799 shipped for no top hats and i think 899 with front top hats..thats the best deal i seen i been lookin for a deal for a few months...and you pick your own spring rates

 

i wouldn't rear bias a car you drive hard on the street. it's often faster in auto-x but slower on the street and slightly harder to control. neutral setups are around the 380/380 quoted or 450-400 with a larger rear bar. depending on your sway either of those setups could be a fun dual duty setup.

 

Yes, a ton of it. And learn how to tune 4 way adjustable shocks for both street comfort and track performance.

Ohlins, Motons, etc... can produce a better ride quality on stiffer spring rates than a Koni Sport (Yellow) shock.

 

TunerNOOb is right, I didnt think about thoses.
Freind is planing to order motons soon, I dont think i could ever bring myslef to spend what my car is worth on shocks, for a street car.

 

Me either, which is why I enjoy my Koni Sport shocks for what they are, great shocks for their price.

 

So if your saying for a street car you would have a higher spring rate in the back? Why is that?
Thats a pretty awesome price. But i cant seem to find how i go about ordering them of their site.

 

proparts and thmotorsports have the best prices on konis.

 

Ok ill look those websites up kevinm1981. I have to add them to the cart separately right? There isn't a bundle package on these sites?

 

call each on the phone. get a quote then call the other. i think proparts can do you a better deal.

 

Ok bro will do. Now i just gotta figure out these spring rates lol.

 

how important is ride quality?

 

Ride quality is semi important for me. I want a slightly stiff ride as i don't care how comfortable my passengers are lol.

 

go high then. especially in the rear.

 

dont go to high, ots koni's can only handle 500-550lb springs without be revlaved.
