Hey uhm... i was wondering wut suspension u guys were running on ur SA's. Im gonna get some sleeves and some shocks and weld them in the front as coilovers but i was wondering, wut springs and shocks are u using in the back. I need a good spring and a good shock that will last because ill use the same shock for the base of the front coilovers as well, ill help greatly appreciated.

 

To awnser your intiall question here is my setup:

KYB GR2 Gas Strut inserts
Suspension Tech. Springs
Prothane Front Endlink and Swaybar bushings
83 (i think) GS rear end with rear Sway Bar removed
Bilstein Rear shocks (soft, but they don't bottom out)
Sumitomo HTR 200 195/50's
Custom Rear Shock tower bar

It rides smooth, but handles great, I can whip the tail out with just enough throttle, but it's doesn't push (understeer) through the turns. It's just slightly loose, the way I like it.

I would tho like to reduce the body roll a bit more.

Well, the parts are in the garage, but when i'm DONE i'm going to have:

Tokiko Illumina shocks
Eibach pro kit springs
racing beat front swaybar w/ bushigns
and a few extra poly bushings here and there.

It should be real nice.

 

Thanx for the help, kinda disapointed to hear bilstiens were soft tho, i thought they were stiff+ i wasnt sure if they hadem for the fb, so thx alot guys

 

The don't have bilstiens for rex as far as I know.. they were off a junkyard rx7 and I thought it was pretty werid. It's soft but, when I switched them in... the rear end was much more predicatable.

got them for 5 each so I was like why not

I'm thinking of getting racing beat rear springs soon tho.
