Im planning on doing the suspension but im saving up so I can do it all at the same time. Now.... I would buy an Eibach pro-kit springs, possible the sport one ( the one that lowers more than pro-kit, forget name ) For shocks, KYB AGX seems to be the bang for buck winner. Any HT'ers tell me how you like them? And I will get those shocks, the springs I mentioned, an Alignment done. And is a camber kit needed? I know for the pro kit its not a must. That sounds good to me, anything I need or left out?

ALSO with the shocks, will the garage make them so that they go with the springs like they should. Adjust them or something?

Thanks

 

i just got the kyb agx and love em. they give a smooth ride, although a little stiffer than i'd like, but thats to be expected from a sport shock. you can adjust them yourself, no need for the garage to adjust them. with the sportlines, you should probably get a camber kit, since it probably lowers more than 1.75 inches, and alignment is necessary if you want even tire wear.

 

To be honest, if you want it good the first time, save up and get some full coilover suspension. It will cost you a bit more but it is so much better than a shock/spring setup.

 

If you are looking for something that is cheap and something that will keep a "sleeper" look to the car try a used ITR suspension. The Only extra thing you will need are ITR rear lower control arms, but you will need those when you install your ITR rear sway bar.

Check out the classifieds they come up from time to time. I spent $400 total including arms and new shock bushings. It only dropped the car about 1.5 inchec. I have a little negative camber in the front but nothing that needs to be corrected. The rear is within facotry specs.

Tire wear is not a problem as long as i rotate the wheels. With the money that you save from doing this you can get a front strut brace, a rear swaybar, and a GS-R front sway bar.

I am more than happy with this setup. The best thing is that i can drive it like a real car. I do not have to worry about wether or not the corner weights are right, i do not have to worry about potholes or dips in the road.

Whatever you do good luck
