???

i've got some ground controls with tokico illuminas on my Teg, i was thinking of something simialr with my Lude.... any suggestions?

 

How much are you trying to spend?

 

hrmm... well, seeing as how a set of tokico iluminas and ground controle would run me roghly $750-$800, i be will to spend up to ~$1000

 

I have the GC coilovers, they work great easy to adjust too.

your setup sounds great...but you might want to look into KYB AGX's they are a bit cheaper, and are still adjustable.

Ground Controls + Koni Yellows =

 

ground control + tokico illumina 5 way adj for me

 

That's the route I would take right there I've heard good things about Skunk2 coilovers from a lot of my buddies who use them also. GC is what I want personally though.

 

I've looked at the tein and the Tanabe(sp?). One bad thing is there both close to $2000.

 

Tein HA or Tein SS.

 

Agreed. Choose your own spring rates.

do the koni shocks have some kind of markings or something that give a reference point??

 

TEIN's HA 995 shipped in a group buy a while back

 

Reference point for what? For rebound adjustment? For rebound on Konis, you start out turning them to full soft. Then you turn the adjustment **** towards stiff until you've found settings that you like. Just never run the car on the full stiff setting!

on my illuminas on my Teg, they have marks, 1 2 3 4 5, around in a circle woth a little arrow on the adjuster to give the desired setting, that way you KNOW each shock is set the same

 

For that amount I'd get a set of Tein SS dampers. You can get them from http://www.jaydm.com for $975 shipped.

 

I'd say either GC or skunk coils w/ koni yellows. Course you could always find a good deal on tiens. It really depends on which tien line you want. I really like the rates on the skunks for dc2s but the prelude seems a but harsher. Looks like a lack of travel.

 

but will i need a camber kit if i drop it very far??? i have some ghetto R1s that i bought form a crackhead for like 20 bux, worked ok, they even rode decent, but i want something that i know is made well. plus, anyone got any ideas on how much i can/should drop it with 19s?

 

exactly, if i was spendin around $1000, i would go with Tein.

 

ok, honestly, are the Tein really THAT good? do they have a website or something where i can read up?

 

tein is the ****, end of story. if you have the money, get them.

so simple, i never would have guessed

 

ok, this is definately OT, but I just had to thank Boosted97Lude for making my day. Everyone should click the link in his sig. I had a rough day, and I about peed myself when I read the thread.

 

LMFAO!!!

i almost peed myself too when i read that.. hahahaha

 

Tein is straight up from Japan. It is way better than combining springs, coilovers, struts together. It comes complete! it has 16 settings.

There's an article about the Tein factory in the November issue of SCC. http://sportcompactcarweb.com/toc/

IMO, if i'm gonna spend about 1K for suspension, I'd go with the real deal.
I'm not saying GC+Koni is not a good setup. but Tein is the shizzle my nizzle! peace
