It's time for me to get my suspension upgraded. Can anyone recommend some inexpensive sources for Eibach's and Tokiko's? TIA

 

Inquiring minds want to know...

 

you too... eh?

 

yep.

Also want to know where can I get a complete set of Polyeurethane bushings at one stop.

I am almost finished in getting all the parts necessary to transform my SE from RE-EGI into 13BRE-Turbo.(Project Kramer)
A suspension upgrade is definately on the list while the engine is out.

 

I just rebuilt my se's suspension not too long ago and I shopped around for about 2 months before the purchase. The best deal I found on new stuff was shox.com. I got tokiko hp's, all 4 for $180. I paid $199 for my eibach's, and I got the complete suspension tec sway bar set for $224. Shop around and you'll see that the only place that comes close ( and sometimes beats by a couple bucks ) is Nopi.com, but they are out of stock a lot of the time. I got my bushings from Victiora British cause I didn't need a whole set, just some misc poly bushings, and I got my strut bar from guru who sells on this forum. All in all it made a HUGE HUGE difference. Ride can be a little ruff, but not unbearable by any means. Control through 4 wheel drifts is superb. It also greatly helped high speed stability, turn in, and breaking. All the part's together came to about $800 including shipping. The install was fun and didn't take as long as I thought it would. Let me know if you guys have anymore questions.

 

Nice! Thx rex_alot!

Are you still running the stock 14" rims?

 

SE's had 14 in rims standard. different lug pattern as well 4x144.3mm i believe. Later

 

144.3? More like 114.3, or an easier way to say it is 4.5".

 

Still running the stock rims with Falken ZE502 tires size 205 60 r14. The tires were brand new when I bought the car 15,000 miles ago. I'm not impresed with thier performance, but they do look good. When they wear out I'm going to some light weight enki's size 16"x7" with some performance 205/50 or 215/45's. I'd like to run the 215's but I don't think they will clear in the front considering that I already rub some now. I wish I knew a way to mod the fender or backspace my next set of rims so that I could fit the 215's. I know they fit out back.

 

oops typo!!! Thanks peejay, my bad.

 

I'll vouch for this company, too. I've been getting my shocks and inserts from them for my rex, vertBird and some buddys' ricers for the past 2 1/2 years. They've always been the cheapest and they have yet to send a wrong part.

 

what about the bushing set? does victoria british sell the whole set also? i know energy suspension only has certain fittings...but i want a complete set.

 

ditto on the bushings...

Who? where? How much?

I've heard summit racing has them, but they're always out of stock.

I got mine from Victoria British. They don't list a full set, but if you buy all the individual sets, it come with everything you need. They were also cheaper than the other places I checked.

 

i just checked with shox.com, and they want about 400 bucks for a set of four tokico illuminas.. that is bloody awsome. i am definatly going to get my struts from them once i have the money
