Its that time of the year again for me, and this years its with a new car. Well new to me. Im working with a stock EK hatch and i tend to spend my hard earned money for christmas on my car on something really nice. Ive always been one to get the handling part corrected before speed as its more important to me than power. I sitting on a budget of about $800-900 (I would like to stay towards the lower part or lower than that if at all possible. Id like a new tv as well :D) and coilovers seems to be the part i keep going back to and looking at. What do you recommend from experience and personal choice in that budget area. Im not familiar with whats new what has come up in the quality, whats gone down in quality. I have researched a few reviews and have a few ideas, but hey this is the internet and a forum is here to ask.

(before you say do maintenance. I have replaced everything from front to back that needed serviced for the mile usage or if just broke. Im replacing every bushing i can think of and getting a set of lower control arms to go with the purchase from wherever I locate my coilovers.) thanks in advance.

This a great resource it will answer your question.

 

if you have further questions please feel free to create a new thread asking about one of the setups mentioned in my thread or if you'd like to explore other options.

This is indeed the internet, and forums are here for asking questions, however if everyone just asked questions on the same broad topic of "what do I buy" every day it would get very old. Also these types of threads tend to lack constructive discussion or the opinion of people who've used multiple setups and actually have the proper authority to provide insight. Kiddies in high school who have dumped their cars on Ksports who don't care how the car handles or the quality over the long term is pretty likely to tell you "My car is dumped on ksports/F&F/etc and it's amazing!!! Rides like a Cadillac (even though that's physically impossible)"

We have stickies and resources to answer very simple questions like yours, the forum is typically reserved for questions of greater specificity. Once you've read my thread or seen reviews for other suspension products, please feel free to ask about particular setups after that. Locking this for now, I look forward to your further inquiry into suspension setups.
