Who is riding on what?
 

Whats up Ladies and Gentlemen..

I'm wondering what type of suspension your riding on, (springs and struts size of wheels) how much it lowers your car and how is the ride and stiffness...


Thanks

Evan

86 GXL still on stock springs and struts w/ 18inch wheels wrapped with 225's and no PS = P. The ride is as stiff as it ever was, but Im starting to get funny creeking noises.

On the 87 n/a, Im running:

KYB AGX shocks
Eibach Prokit springs
GXL swaybars
BBS vert rims
225/50/15 Yokohama AVS ES100s
Manual steering rack

Ride is stiff, but very streetable. Tires provide good traction for spirited driving and racing. Car is very responsive, but sometimes the wheels like to wander with the bumps in the road. Good road feel with the manual rack.

On the AE:

Tokico 5-way adj. shocks
Eibach prokit
Konig Imagines 17"
225/45/17 Kuhmo 712s
PS

I just got this car and havent abused it too much, but it seems very stable and responsive. Shocks are stiffer than the KYBs in my opinion, but are only adjustable from the top, so the back ones aren't fun to change.

gotcha... i've ridden in rx7's with intrax springs...racing beat and some japan company...

deciding what to get.

Eibach prokit springs (lowered 0.8in.)
KYB GR-2 Struts on front with KYB Gas Shocks on rear
Front and rear suspension techniques sway bars
16" Primax 684 wheels (17 lbs)
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 225/50ZR16 Tires
No PS


Ride is stiff but good.. the tires grip like NO other in dry and wet road and the handling is awesome. Having no ps isn't a big deal at all either

This is all on a 1988 GXL

90 red TII riding on

Tokico 5way shocks
Eibach pro kit
stock sway bar with front strut bar
stock 16" TII rims with 205/55/16 on dunlop sp9000:evilgrin:

BTW both my 87 and 88 have front strut tower braces.

This is a good thread, keep 'em coming!!

what springs lower what height? whats the lowest (most) drop spring out there?

i'm on Intrax Springs (came with car) and Tokico Blues (not adj.).

JIC FLT-A2s all around
Eibach Sway Bars
Groud Control Rear Camber Link
Racing Beat front strut bar

Soon I'm going to round things out with a Cusco carbon fiber rear strut bar (rear end too soft right now).

Tanabe Sustec GF 210 Springs on still very stiff stock KYBs in front, Tokico in back and soon after i install the 5 lug, i have GTU rims to put on, 205/60/15

stock suspension, GXL brakes, borbet type S 16x7.5 wheels

totally stock, but it rides great!

well, i have firestone indy 500 radials, and those are sticky...

KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks
Suspension Techniques Springs
17" Konig Tantrums (soon to be replaced with gram lights 57c's)

Do you have pictures of your car with the Borbets on? They seem like decent wheels, and I think they'd look good on an FC.

KYB AGx shocks (3 in the front and 4 in the rear stiffness)
Eiback Prokit
stock s5 TII wheels
yokohama avs es 100 225/50/16

city driving is pretty bearable but anything higher might be too stiff.

Riding on 16x7 3 spoke Devil rims (not sure who they're from.. some japanese company and i'm a fan of the 3 spokes) wrapped in 205/40 Khumo ecsta 712's on new stock suspension (came new with car) and stock anti sway bars

Yea I think I replied to this question about 4 times in the last week at least.

kyb agx + eibach pro's

is that your TII in the background cause I don't see that much of them these day, except for my:D

Yea its mine.

Stock worn out shocks, it feels like my rear squats over a foot when I go WOT.

Does anyone have the GC's on a FC, or any comments on them?


I know what AE you are talking about, it's been built to abuse. Enjoy it, just don't kill yourself ;)

It's a nice change from 10 exhuast questions every day ;)

oops! didn't see that we did this last week!

My bad!
