Default Volk, Mugen, Spoon...

I've been debating and I am probably just gonna leave the motor in my ITR stock,at least for a while. I do however want to get some 16 or 17 inch white Volk TE-37s with either Mugen or Spoon coilovers. Anybody have opinions on either coilovers? Also, will lowering the car void warranty on anything except maybe the stock suspension(I've already looked through archived topics and found little). Just want some opinions, advice, or personal experiences, thanks.

Go 16s on the Volks. 17s are too big & they are at greater risk of being damaged due to the skinny sidewall (40 series) you will have to run.

As for coilovers, I would consider something else! Look at Tein, Zeal or just a nice an simple H&R/Bilstein combination!

Who has the best price for TE-37?
I am seriously interested in getting a set of bronze 15x6.5 for ITR lug pattern.
Either that or 5x114 SW388 in 15".
I also have a new set of SW388 in 4x100 in 15" if anyone is interested.
Two of the wheels had drag radials mounted on them for one track visit, and the drag radials are still on there. Still beautiful. Lemme know if anyone wants to work something out on em.

I agree with LOC. Check into Zeal, Tein, and some regular shock/spring combos. The Spoons (Showas) are nice, but IMHO are OVERPRICED. Plus, you need to ask yourself if you REALLY need a true coilover setup. If you dont regularly auto-x or do track events, save the money and go Koni/H&R, Tokico/H&R, or another combo. Hope this helps!
