Hey can anyone help me. I'm looking to upgrage my stock suspension and I'm at a bit of a crossroads.
I'm not looking for high performance or it to be dropped really low I'm looking more for a comfortable ride and good handling. The roads are quite bumpy over here and its getting very frustrating. I was thinking of going for new shocks and springs as I here coilovers are a bit harsh. I was looking at kyb gr2's and tein s-tech springs. What do you think???? |

Hey everybody since i dont want to start another topic im going to continue on this one...
Well at the moment i do not have stock suspension. I am running kyb gr-2 with tanabe df210 with about 6,000 miles on this setup. I have bottomed out front left shock 3 times and bottom right front shock 5 times. This happend to me becuase i drive my car aggressively and the main reason y they bottomed out is because of careless driving and most important no bump stops in the front. When i was installing this setup back in july my front bump stops totally fell apart. when i took apart the front suspension. I didnt know any better and my friend who was helping me, told me i didnt need bump stops. (my mistake for not doing my research). When i swerving aggresively on the road my front right strut feels very lazy and doesnt respond as fast as when i make right turns( right turns being that all the weight transfers to the left strut, the good strut that still feels normal, like it did when i first installed it). Dont get me wrong kyb gr-2 are good struts, i just didnt install the new bump stops, so i pretty much threw my money away for the front shocks. Now i plan on getting koni adjustable but wow they are expensive. $345 shipped to my door, vs getting blisten $200 shipped. How much stiffer are blisten vs my kyb gr2. I know they are german and dont the germans make ohlins. basically the best suspension in the world??? also when taking out the inserts in the front what kind of oil do you use to keep the inserts from moving. Anybody have any bump stops??? -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
