hey lookin for good drift suspension upgrades for my 90 gxl i have energy polyurethane bushings already and strut bars but wat coilovers for a good price and ne thnig else i need ? ne suggestions appreciated





another thing how do u mount rear strut bar on gxl? the springs are covered by the speakers how do u do it???

 

cheap = ground control

good = megan racing

there are better but i hope your serious as hell because they get expensive!

 

K sports
Stance
Tein < getting expensive

 

Well there was just a thread made about how good stance GR+ are.

For rear strut towers, you cut the carpet and metal I think.

Get sway bars, and a decent set of tires.

 

^^^haha, yeah...scroll down just a tiny bit...




...or, just click this link...

i run on drift specs from tein ... got them cheap so I can't complain... good design it is streetable with the proper settings and i can wait to track them... stance is also a good company... i would recommend what I have but I think brand new their $1500 so probably not

 

for the strut bar your gonna have to cut part of the speaker tower and pieces of the carpet... you'll find a pic around the forum

 

take the speakers covers off, remove the speakers and insulation out of the towers
take apart your strut tower brace so you have 3 peices; 2 strut mounting brackets and the bar
install the strut brace brackets
use a powerdrill with a hole saw attachment to cut a hole big enough to run the bar though in each tower
reattach bar to brackets
done

 

revalved strut with ground control = $$$$$$$$

 

NO megan, **** the rear strut tower bar, just get a beefy rear sway bar, Tein Super drift Coilovers are great for drifting

 

he already has the bar, why not put it in?

 

I guess, but having to cut up the metal and stuff seems like a lot of effort for a mod that won't make much of a difference at all. Strut towre bars are a useless mod, they are more for looks. The best suspension mod besides coilovers would be a 6point rollcage. my last car cough* s14 cough* had Tein Super drift coilovers, 6 point rollcage welded in, and a 27.5mm Tanabe rear sway bar. I have had strout tower bars before, but they made no difference that I npticed at all on the street or on the track...but with that said I have never had strut tower bars on a T2 that I have owned, so take what I say with a grain of salt

 

strutbars do make a difference, moreso in a FC than a S14
I say this from daily experience
(see pic below of my driveway car lot - took that last night)
you'll notice the effect alot more the closer the car is to the stock suspension
the first suspension thing I did was a set of Corksport braces front and back, now the effect wasn't dramatic but subtle, it basically took most of the "twitchiness" out of the car

 

First time I've seriously heard Megan Racing called "good." Also the first time I've seen ground control ranked below megan, especially since you can get konis and bilsteins with a ground control setup. Bilsteins are amazing shocks.

 

nice lot you have there
