i need some input on which suspension is right for me
its a daily driver but i will run the 1/4 mile once in a while...
tein ss's any good...
i just can't seem to get a decent answer from thier email response.

skunk2 coilovers ?
eibach coilovers ?

 

Depends on how much you want to spend.
Tein's are the best for around 2K$.
~1K you could go for a set of Koni Yellows w/ Skunk 2 coilovers. I've run this setup for two of my cars and I'm quit pleased with them. But planning on getting the Tein's.

 

if you're not planning to go autocrossing or anything of that nature, Tein SS are going to be over kill, unless you have the dough to spend. Just get some Koni Yellows with some GC's with the adapter to get rid of the spring perch or similar.

FYI i have the Tokico Illumina with the semi-threaded body.. matched variable spring rates

 

well i have the dough to spend ...
thats not the issue...
i just want to make sure i spend that dough on the right stuff for me

how much better are the tein ss's that the setup you mentioned
or are they better suited for autocrossing....

 

well if i were you
i would not get the tein
i would get a set of buddy club full coilovers
R and D motorsports uses them on their race car
they are freakin badass
15 way dampening/rebound adjustments
independent rire height adjustability and cost less than 2k

go to this website
they are my local performance shop
thay are very helpful people and are good folk
tell them that daniel b. sent you http://www.randdmotorsports.com/detail.cfm?ID=108

or just go to the home page and either click on specials or buddy club

and their home page is http://www.randdmotorsports.com

 

I have the Tanabe Sustec proSS coilovers. Medium spring rates so the ride quality is still pretty nice. for auto-x they feel perfect with the damping turned most of the way up. Perfect for a street/track car.

</TD></TR></TABLE>Both the Tein's and Buddy Clubs are made for racing. And I mean real road course racing, not Walmart parking lot autocrossing. The Koni setup worked out fine for daily driving and an track event every so often. But I'm getting more serious about the track driving and need a more serious suspension setup.
If you get a chance, go to a NASA event and check out what the drivers are running there. You'll have your hard core racers with race only setups, but that type of setup would destroy your prostate daily driving. Then you'll also find guys like me who daily drive and also track their car.
If you don't plan on tracking your car and you're on a budget, I would suggest the Koni's and then putting the extra money in some good rubber. jmo

 

well i'm not going autocrossing
just running the 1/4 mile... and want something thats going to give nice 60 fts and better et's

i'm assuming the buddy club 's are good for either auto xing or 1/4 runs because of there springs are 600 and 800 respectively
