for daily driven, which would be most ideal for comfort, price etc. in order. right now i am using ground cnotrols and stock shocks and its getting way too bouncy because of blown shocks. should i just replace with konis for 500-550, get the new hayame for 650, or save up and get the tein ss?

 

So you have the tein ss already in mind? That is definately not "too harsh" for DD And I (as much as I hate them) would pick those over GC/Hayame any day of the week.

 

but ive read that the GC+koni combo can outhandle and perform way better than a lot of setups which means it is also great for DD. also it would be the cheapest. i'd like to know in everyone's opionion what would htey do. i already have the ground control so to me it would be ideal to just replace the shocks. but i am worried that it wouldn't provide enough comfort which is why i am having a dilemma between keepin the gc and buy konis or sellin them and replace with hayame/tein ss.

 

Mugen Sports Suspension is perfect for daily driving. Ask anyone with it, besides me, I love mine though. Great ride, great ride height, great all around!

Not anymore since with the GC+koni combo, youre gonna have to modify your stock struts for the konis. The prices on the GC+koni equals the amount of the hayame coilovers or spend a little more and get a full coilover set such as teins, jics, apex, etc.

The price difference isn't that big anymore since the konis cost a lot for the rsx/ep.

With that price, you can get the Mugen suspension which is not adjustable, but it seems as though a lot of REAL r&d was involved. Wth the Mugen SS, the tie rod end is relocated so that bump steer is reduced. Only drawbacks of the mugen is that they are not adjustable and the drop is very mild.

 

mugen ss is what your lookin for...

 

where can you purchase this

 

The word search comes to mind..... but I'll do that for you... let's see.... in google, Mugen Distributor USA brings up King MotorSports as the second choice, which is, *shock*, the sole authorized distributor for Mugen in North America....

i thikn the mugen suspension is not low enough and also non adjustable so i did not include that in my list. anyone else?

 

I've drove a DC5 with mugen ss. they work great. I'm thinkin about gettin them myself.

 

wow you can tell me to search good for you, i know who and what king motorsport is but thanks for the explanation. I was wondering for what it looked like and if there was a cheaper site.

 

read the fact that they are the SOLE AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR....
