checking out suspension options Options

[sn0wfr0g]

I am looking (window shopping, from a linux box no less.. *ponder*) into saving up for some suspension. I have heard mixed reviews on Tien Coilovers ( http://www.optionimports.com/zzt231flta2.html ) and in fact coilovers in general.. Admitedly I do not know much about suspension at all so I am kind of just looking into what all it would take / how long / how much..

What kind of suspension do yall have? How happy are you with it?

I really have 2 goals with getting some suspension:

1: Naturally most important is preformance. Reliability and low maintnence are a plus. I have noticed a bit of a sloppy feeling cornering at 40 - 50... I want to say body roll but I dont know if thats the right term, almost feels like kind of a pivot. I hate it.

2: Because as we all know the Celi is a hot hothothot ride, looks matter.. I was thinking here my goal is to drop my ride about an inch and get some 7th gen 16" rims. Would that fly? Anything to consider here?

Any / all feedback, comments etc welcome and encouraged. Is there anything else I should be considering in the equation for getting suspension? Thanks.

if coilovers are an option financially, you'll be really happy with them. they'll give you both ride height adjustment and better handling.

personally, i don't have alot of money (or i'd be all over your teins, purplegt4!) so i'm going for the koni yellows with the tein springs i'm already using now. they're externally adjustable, which is really important for handling performance. and they're half the price of coilovers. i may end up switching to a higher spring rate if the teins don't provide the feel i want with the konis. that's the downfall of struts/coils....you have to change springs.

that's my .02

hitcachi is totally right...the stickies will tell you alot.
