just wondering what u guys are using for your suspension setups. currently im planning to go with the Tein S-techs with Tokico Blues. Im buying a car with the S-techs already on with stock blown shocks. I'll probably get the Blues (new) from a friend for $100-$150 for all 4. Just wondering what's everyone else's setup and how much it costs.

 

id like to know, too. i just dropped my 01 gs on eibach sportlines and in the process found out that i have a bent strut. so, now i need to buy new struts. i dont want something cheap and dont need anything special or crazy. im just going for the look and a decent ride, not necessarily extreme handling n stuff. na'mean?

 

On my old car i ran GC's with kyb agx's and that was a good set up for me.

On my current set up I have Custom spring rate GCs on Koni yellows and let me tell you, Its too good lol. Also ive heard many bad things about the tokico blues but thats just hear say i guess. goodluck

 

i really like my eibach sportlines and koni yellows w/ rear itr sway bar

 

Current Setup for 97 GSR
Tein Flex for Type-R (*Switched out the rear control arms to Type-R*)
Skunk2 Front upper strut bar
Skunk2 Rear upper strut bar
Skunk2 rear lower strut bar
stock ani-sway bar
EM Racing C-Pillar bar
EM Racing trunk bar

 

I used to have H&R Sports/ KYB AGX, and I didn't really like it all.
Now I have Tein Type RE for an Integra Type R, with Type R lcas, and a Neuspeed 4 point upper strut. It is so nice and stiff. The car has almost no body roll now, and takes corners like a champ.

 

Tein SS for my GS-R. Much stiffer than stock and a much lower ride height. 16 way adjustable. Love it so far, no complaints.

 

I have Sprint Springs with KYB gr-2's....strut bar and rear lower tie bar

 

dont go with the blues ,go a lil better and get the illuminas,or kyb agx's at the least...
the blues cant handle most mild drops,and will blow prematurely,give u a shitty ride..

 

im currently on koni yellows and GC coilovers and this setup is great!

before i had neuspeed sport springs w/my koni yellows and those springs collapsed

 

Sonikpulse sell me your Skunk2 rear sway bar!

 

im getting some h&r race springs for 50, so...

h&r race springs
koni yellows
camber junt

maybe when im rich ill get some gc coilovers.
ill also probably get other stuff, but after turbo, bitches.

 

I'm riding on Progress springs with Koni yellows and really loving it. It's nice to have the adjustability too so you're not knocking out your teeth during daily driving.

 

I run Tein SS, w/12kg front springs and 16kg rear springs (shock valving was also matched to the springs). Tein Pillow Ball uppers, Speedtech 22mm rear sway/tie bar combo, stock front 27mm sway bar, spoon sports front upper and lower tie bars, spoon sports rear upper tie bar, prothane bushing kit (soon to replace with pillow *****, and bearings) and a stitch welded chassis. Next mod will be an 8 point cage. Way too much for the street (not going to stop me though). I have almost no understeer, and on clover-leaf on/off ramps I have to be damn careful. Awsome solo 2 setup. Good street setup is standard 8kg/6kg Tein SS. Most importantly, look for good tires. Oh yeah, this is on my 94 Db8 gs-r

 

wow nice i didnt understand all of it but nice

 

Thanks. It gets me around.

 

just wondering are tein ss's the same as tein s-techs

 

GC + Koni Yellow

Or for the budget minded

GC + KYB AGX

No, the s-techs are springs. The SS are full coilovers.

 

My buddy has a GSR with the exact setup that Im gonna go. I got the chance to drive his car, its is seriously the best handling car that Ive ever driven.
His setup:
TEIN Flex
Suspension Techniques Sway Bars (front and rear)
Carbing Front Upper 3-Point Strut Bar
Spoon Front Lower Tie Bar
Spoon Rear Lower Tie Bar
Spoon Rear Upper Tie Bar
Alex C-Pillar Bar
Some sort of Camber Kit
He has wheels with good rubber and a Quaiffe LSD to really finish off the suspension/handling of his car.

 

Tein basic coilover/dampers. They don't have any damper control but you get the adjustable ride height. But it depends on your needs, mine's a daily driver so I don't need all that control. For the money go with Tein: you get an awesome ride, great quality, the springs and dampers were made to work together and they come with the boots to protect from dust.

I like mine too but I have ITR front and rear LCAs and itr spec koni yellows to fit

 

Eibach Sportlines

Had them before the Ground Controls. They made the car sag unevenly and felt loose and weak while driving hard.

The Ground Controls completely blow the Sportlines out of the water as feel as feel, performance, and looks.

 

I have H&R OE Springs w/ KYB AGX and a lower rear tie bar. I like my setup cause it's just low enough for me and I love that I can pull into almost anywhere without scraping the bottom of my car.

 

neuspeed sports w/ stock shocks. Drop is good and ride is decent.
