Hey, can I get some advice from the coil over guys? I just hit 60,000 miles, have been running H-Sport springs with stock shocks for most of those miles, but the suspension is starting to get a little loose, especially up front. So this spring I need to fix this. I can either replace my shocks with Koni Yellows or FSDs, or go the coil over route. Do the coil overs always ride rougher than the a conventional shock? Or is it possible to get a decent ride with the correct "street" springs? I have retired the car from daily driver duties, it's just a weekend toy now, but my girlfriend barely tolerates the ride as it is and the roads around Philly blow, bent two S-Lites the first year I had my car. Just looking to go a little lower without sacrificing too much ride comfort. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

One thing too, you can see with two people on board the back is way low, and the front is a little high, one of the main reasons I want to go to coil overs.

 

Im stuck and Im not even resting on the springs yet!

 

^^cheater!!!

 

Spent a lot of time reading through this thread LOL

Lurking no more...

Still want Coilovers, but need some new bushes for the front wishbones. Also considering some wheels that fit the brakes without spacers. But can't find anything that covers al the bases, light (current wheels are 7.5kg), 18", Look good and clear my brakes.

Tenzo Mach 10's are something Ive considered but they're 10kg a wheel and not 100% sure they'd clear the brakes.

Plus what coilovers?

In the Uk was considerin KW V1's, but then with the dollar to the pound as good as it is, considered the M7. Waiting on a reply from MSFITOY about the Manny ones considering his recomendation on the brakes

 

ARe they the Tenzo Mach 10's and Stoptech brakes by any chance?

 

I know, right? I can't pull either of my cars into my driveway straight on without grounding or ripping something off.

 

since he's not here, i'll answer it for him... they're 18x7.5 Exel TZ-10 wheels w/ Stoptech BBKs

same here... justin is still 4x4 thats why he can pull that off...

 

Cheers found it on another thread somewhere else. Next question is he using spacers and how heavy are they

 

he's running 5mm spacers and theyre a lot lighter than the Slites, dunno the exact weight though...

 

Maaan...bunch of haters you are.... . You cheat...I cheat...It works itself out in the end. Joel copies my rolling pic... . Anyways...I tried to look the weight up of the Exels and I cant find it.... They arent heavy...not the lightest of the bunch but if you havent gutted everything out and pulled every last pund out of the car....who cares...LMAO

Ok....here is the full pic...I cant remember if I posted it anywhere else...oh..and all the chrome thats left is gonna go this weekend when Kalbone gets off his lazy @SS......

 

Any chance you coudl weigh one :p

 

Wheres yor exhaust. ahaha

 

OPEN HEADER FTMF....wait its justacooper...nevermind...

 

It's prolly in the same stack of parts his grille is in!

 

ummm...my lazy A$$ will be werkin this weekend...

 

Well....maybe for you but it will have the tire on it....

 

WHY YES....YES IT IS......Hey Steve..if you see this Im headin down to the ghetto...

 

LOL Was only messing dont worry. 5mm Spacer means there is no real point in changin as current wheels are more than likely lighter and have 8mm spacer.

Do look damn good though.

 

See ya tonight
