I am changing my spring/strut suspension set-up now, looking to take care of two really important things.....better handling and getting my car lower than it is now!
Right now I'm running KYB GR2's but am now going with AGX's all around. I used to run Intrax(good for lowering, thats about it) springs, but now have apex springs, the car is about 2-2.5 inches lower than stock. Handling wise, the car is good,but not great... this set up mixed with my other sus. parts and the car is on rails...but its not good enough, and not low enough!!( this is important to me..) So, I'm going coilovers with the adjustable AGX struts and am also going to beef up my sway bars. NOW its just choosing sleeves and springs. I think Im gonna go with GC...BUT, I've heard they are shitty for lowering the car..but then I have been talking to Mike L. from teamfc3s and he CHANGED the springs on his GC set up...going with a lighter rated, softer, and shorter spring..so I am thinking maybe this? I don' t know, I really need some insight and also, anyone have K2RD coilovers? What about those? AHHH, I just wish I could afford some Teins now..but I can't. Help?

 

your car is too low already... raise it up another inch it'll handle better.

just get your front control arms palleral to the ground. it's only like an 1" drop.

 

Ok, first, no its not low enough.....second, what are you talking about with the control arms? I have my camber all set up the way i want it and can change it as I please, so the SUPER amounts of negative camber that comes with the lowering of the car is no prob. I keep it at -.75 in the front, and -1.75 in the rear.
Anyone have K2RD(or is it KR2D?) coilovers???

 

You car is too low. There is a point where low looks bad, and ceases to increase performance.

 

Ok, enough with the "too low" comments..thats not really helping me out! Here is a pic of my car, WITH 18's.....and here is a pic WITH 15's....its not too low.


This is on an incline, SO it looks a little higher than it really is.

 

umm that's not down 2.5"s...

you'll probably ok at that hight.

 

well, back to the Coilover questions??? Anyone?
