As of right now i'm on eBay adjustables with stock struts. I plan on changing that next spring, but i'm on a budget at the moment and thats all i could really afford to get for the time being. I'm just curious at to what other people are running in their car.

 

What is your budget?

What's the goals for for the car?

 

I'm not really sure as far as the budget goes, but it'll just be my DD. I'll be driving an hour to and from school monday-friday. Doesn't have to be anything special, i'd just like to be low and (somewhat) comfortable.

 

i got teins that i found online almost new for 150
do a lot of searching you will find good ones rather than waste money on ebay ones

 

What model Teins?

 

s-tech

 

Can you post a pic of your car?

 

S tech's will drop your car about 2'', however, the rates are VERY soft, and you may enconter rubbing issues

Google tein s tech del sol or something like that.

 

well if i dont rub why would he its the same car?

i might even have the bigger motor, not sure what motor he has

 

So you have the exact same tire same too? And wheel/offset?

And unless you have a J swap, the engine really doesn't matter

Drive the car aggressivly, and you will see exacly why I don't like those springs. Rates are simply too low for the drop.

 

AMR

 

thats your own opinion, but i dont see nothing wrong with them, ive been to the track with them also.

 

GC/K

 

I'm running a D15b7. And i dont have the money for konis.

 

What do you have money for? That's why you were asked what your budget was.

 

i have eibach sportlines on my sol.

 

Those are great, I would reccomend these over the s tech's any day.

 

Konis and Ground Controls. There's a misconception that you need the "Koni" design sleeves. I have the generic sleeves and just have them sitting on the spring perches and they work fine.

I think the shelf spring rates are too soft. If I could go back, I'd have gotten something stiffer.

EDIT: If anyone wanted to, I'd gladly trade springs.

 

Be prepared to have the sleeves mushroom and split over time then. That is if you don't have any o-rings installed.

 

I want to stay around the $500 ish mark for the whole setup. Like i said in my op, i'm going to wait until spring to get a new set of struts/springs.

 

Your wasting your money. Why would you buy a new setup now, just to buy another setup in a few months?

 

I'm talking about when the time comes in the spring, i'm not getting new springs/struts right now and then again in the spring. lol. I'm going to run what I have now for the rest of the year.

 

ohhh. well just save up more. you'll be glad you did

 

Yeah thats the plan lol. But I want to be conservative with my money, because I would like to also maybe do an engine swap, and get some body work/paint taken care of.

 

I know how you feel, I want AMR's, brakes, swap, everything. haha
