Default coilovers

has anyone heard of the brand name hyperion. I can get a set of those for $125, I assume they suck but just checking incase I am mistaken.

Any coilovers that are that cheap are going to be pretty crappy. Do yourself a favor and look into ground control coilovers if you want to buy the sleeve type of coilover.

well to be honest I have no clue about any suspension typpe modification. i want my car to be stiffer, hold to the road better, and be a bit lower. Whats the best route. Adjustability is a somewhat important but not neccasary

Ground Control coilovers and Koni yellows are a pretty good setup. The ultimate for adjustability would be a full coilver set. H&R, Tanabe, Tein, Progress, Bilstein, etc

That is also a good setup if you don't like coilovers.

hey spade, whats new....
I'm not looking for the cheapest in this department but not looking for exactly "race" quality.. If you know what I mean, I got the strut bars. OBX front and rear uppers, and a lower tie bar (not installed)

Well I'll check back later tonight gotta run... Peace>
