Hello, I m thinking to upgrade my stock suspension and here's what I have in mind

Springs: Tanabe GF series
Shocks: Tokico Blue

Not thinking to track, autocross nor drift, just want to get some handling enhancement.

Let me know what you guys think.
thanks

 

I love the blues

Have em on my TII and drive it everwhere (in the summer) handles great, not too stiff.

No comment on the springs - I run eibachs on the tokicos

 

The blues are nice. But I would go with either Eibach or Tein S Tech springs instead of the Tanabes. There are a few people in Cali that are selling used sets of KYB AGX suspension with Eibach springs for $350 - $400. Check in the West Classified section. Or PM me if you need some help finding stuff.

Any comments about Racing Beat springs?

 

thanks!
I was thinking to go Tein until I realized that Tein has a lower spring rates than Tanabe.....
correct me if i m wrong.

 

Im running the GF210's with KYB AGX's, those are the best from Tanabe adds a 20-30%
stiff rate over stock. Here read up on the Tanabes:

I'd like to get a set that isn't that much rougher than the stock setup, but can be adjusted to let me have some fun on the weekend. Any recommendations?

As of right now, my 7 is mostly a daily driver. However, one of my springs is messed up. I might as well replace it with something good if I'm going to have to be paying anyways...

Is that in reference to me? If so, what about shocks?

 

Tokico Blues are good. Had experience with them. (GSR though)
I don't know about your springs. Alot of here say RB.
Post up the specs of the springs you want. I dont feel like looking for them.

Id say get a Linear Spring. You already know that....

 

tanabe GF
1.5/1.5
3.5/2.5 kgm

 

Im running KYB AGX's(adjustables).

 

Same set-up on my '91 Turbo and loving it.

 

where to get?

 

ebay has the cheapest prices on KYB AGX's that i could find.

 

I have the RB springs and KYB adjustable struts, and I'm quite happy with the setup. Its not to harsh and no to soft, and makes for a great handling upgrade.

 

Sweet, that's the route I plan to go right now. I never knew about the Front Suspension Lowering Kit from racing beat. After I get my struts/springs, I may look into that if I want a little lower drop.
If I get the RB spring which drop me 1", will I need some kind of camber plate or anything special if I get the RB lowering kit if using stock 15x6" rims?

 

off ebay:

this who i got mine from jdmwerks

 

Thanks for the ebay link...dude! I just purchased a set like 3 seconds ago

 

i got mine from them also. no problems

 

It's not too harsh/too soft... that's why KYB AGX are adjustable. You can make it too harsh/too soft.


JDMWERKS13 - They don't respond to emails.

Anyway, those are good struts KYB AGX.. but you need good springs.
I think I'd go with the TANABE with them.

You might need this too:

 

^ For the ones who don't know what that is, it is a rear camber adjuster.

I'm just going to buy Racing Beat's suspension package.

 

Do you really need one with a 1" drop from Racing Beats springs? I heard you wouldn't need one with just an inch drop.

 

thanks for the headsup!!!!
