All of these different suspension set ups.., I'd say we need a definitive guide Options

[sinner96ST]

Seriously, I've seen everyone in here talk about intrax, eibach, trd springs, coilovers, konis, etc... somebody who actually KNOWS what the **** they're talking about should post some sort of a guide for all of us. I'm clueless when it comes to suspension compared to what I know about engines.

Anyone up for it? A *STICKY* about whats good and whats not? I'm not talking about some 16 year old who put coilovers on his car and preaches that it's gods gift to the earth, either. I really would like an analytical discussion based thread about what really goes well with our 6th gens.

I understand there are so many mixes & matches of suspension parts, but there has to be some sort of a GUIDE LINE people can follow.

for example :

Koni Adjustables WILL :

blah blah blah, blah blah blah

Koni Adjustables WILL NOT :

blah blah blah, blah blah blah

Not trying to bitch, but I've seen the same questions over & over & over again on here. And they basically boil down to "WHICH ONE SHOULD I PICK?". I think a guide would help these people, as well as myself, tremendously. Anyone up for doing it? That way we can just redirect these questions (unless specific) to this sticky.

Why don't you tell me what kind of ride quality and expectations you are looking for? Basically, if you're looking for a really low ride (1.7" drop), you WILL experience a rough ride, whether or not you use aftermarket shocks.

If you want a decent drop with good ride quality, then go with ANY spring that doesn't go below 1.5 and install the Koni yellows or KYB. I've got through three sets of springs: Eibach, H&R, and Custom. They're all pretty much the same. TRD = rebadged Eibachs.

As for coilovers, these are only good if you clan on autocrossing, otherwise they're just a waste of money. Now I'm not talking about those (non-true) coilovers that Ground Control sells. Those aren't even adjustable.

Now if you're just looking for all out ride comfort and quality... stay stock.

I hope this helps in your decision.
