What suspension is good for just street driving?
 
Hey guys I was just wondering what’s a good set up for everyday day street driving.:: please tell me your set up and we’re you got your set up from 👍🏿. Thanks guys I tried to hit up ground control but they need 20 days to build the kit and my front suspension. So I just wanna see what else is out there thanks.. straight drop in

I personally like Racing Beat springs with Tokico blue shocks and struts with Energy Suspension bushings. Lowers the car a little and stiffens up the suspension enough that the ride is borderline stiff without being frustrating to drive.

I have RB springs and the KYB struts and shocks and poly bushings all around except the rear links. I can say the KYBs are bad match for the RB springs. I also have one coil cut from each spring to get it a little lower. The RB springs will not lower much as delivered. I need new strut inserts and shocks, looking at Koni for MR2 up front and same for mustang in the back. Will need to use a space for the front insert and FB top hats or other, not sure yet.

Hey, I am still wondering what up with the Koni MR2 Struts. I am looking into buying new struts cause my last Rx7 was totaled. I bought another one already and I am swapping all my parts from my old one. I was going to use my tokico illuminas. But one of them got busted from the accident is no good. I have been trying to find just one illumina but no luck. Been wanting to get the MR2 koni's but not sure.

Exact same setup here, same feeling, it is perfect for me.

I run same RB spring and Koni set-up. Not issues and improved handling.

Are you using the Koni's off an MR2? Where you able to still use the original strut top mounts?

Thanks,

Are Tokico Blue's available anywhere? Or is there a (worthy) substitute? That is, any availability in the USA?

Up front Koni's yellow for MR2 rear struts. Used OEM strut mounts, have to grind the dimple on Koni's so that it fits in strut sleeve (very minor work). In rear used Koni's oranges for fox body Mustang. Rears are direct bolt in.
