Default Suspension Rebuild

I have a '98 ITR with 90,000 miles on it. I am interested in getting the stock suspension rebuilt, and installing new springs (stock) to get that new feel again. Are there any companies you know of that specialize in rebuilding the stock suspension? Am I better off buying new shocks. I have heard good things about Tein, are there any other brands you would recommend?

Thanks,

Matt

I haven't priced OEM suspension, but I'd be willing to bet going aftermarket would both be cheaper and perform better.


how much is the spoon/bilstein setup?

You can order any size/rate springs from Eibach and get some OEM equivalent replacement dampers from Sears or something.

With 90k miles, you probably want to replace the shocks also. You might as well go with a full coilover setup like Teins or Mugen Lowdowns. Do you have a budget to work with?

I really dont have that much cash, that's why I was hoping to get the stock ones I have rebuilt. I was looking at the Tein website and the shocks they have for the Type R range from $1000-$2400. Are they all better than stock, or should I look somewhere in the middle?

Thanks,

Matt
