question, what kind of coilovers should i go with, 2001 teggy ls, i want a nice ride still but stiff, have somewhat of a limited budget but can expand, and also what reccommendations on shocks? well any help will help and be much appreciated, thanks

 

if you look in the upper right hand part of the screen, you will find the search function.

 

My setup up consists of Ground Control coilovers and Tokico Illuminas. The ride is perfect for now until I get my Tein 1-piece system But in my opinion for coilovers, definitely go with Ground Control and shockwise, usually KYB or Tokico are the preference but it's up to you.

Cheers

 

Well how much can you spend and how much can you expand...that might help. Also, a lot of people post on this and have posted some pics of their cars with their setups listed. Good luck.

The lowest-priced adjustable coilover setup I would recommend is Koni yellow shocks and Koni-specific GC coilovers. That's about as close as you can get to a full coilover setup. I wouldn't recommend GC's w/ any other shocks because I personally like how the sleeves and adapters sit on the shocks in place of the Koni spring perches, so you don't use the normal spring perches at all.

 

yeah.. what the two guys above said... Never go anything lesser than GC coilovers or else. You would experience horrible ride quality and bottom out shocks. :] just .02 cents.

burn hahah

anyways, GC are pretty popular but if you have the patience, wait and save for one piece full coilovers, (TEIN, H&R, JIC etc) they're fully adj plus it just takes a lot more stress out of the install vs. doing springs or sleeves first n then doing shocks n struts, but generally, GC + koni yellows + camber adj. (important!) are good. plus it's either handling or comfort, rarely is there both unless it's in moderation and money

 

hmm, thanks for the feedback, now what do you guys think about skunk2? this is only b/c a guy at work has a dealer's liscense and he can get them for 250 or less?

 

cheap way to do it is go custom spring rate. thats if you dont want to go with a cusco/tein full coilover set up. use like ground control/ skunk2 sleeves, and you can order custom springs from eibach, depending on your set-up, drag/ road race.

camber kits are overrated

 

I have heard the Tein Basic Damper is really good for everyday driving. It is one piece and fully adjustable, but you need some green I have also heard that Skunk's are pretty good, but get bouncy after a while. my 2 cents, but ima nub

 

ground control with kyb agx

has not let me down yet

 

ground controls and tokico shocks.

very economical and performs great!

 

i got JIC FLT-A2's. not on yet but quality already is unbeatable. top dollar though
