suspension setup...?
okay, i'm having trouble finding springs for less than $250
and coilovers for less than a grand.
i traded my xbox for my current FC and don't feel like giving an arm and a leg to get a good drift.
it's a '87 GXL (factory lsd)
i can do donuts all night but when i'm going 40+ and i try to break them the car leans so bad i feel like i'm on my side
car has 102k blown struts and i feel like i'm on a boat when i dump the clutch.
any suggestions on suspension and where to buy?

um you should also get the rear diff inserts that eliminate the DTSS from towing to help maintain traction when going into corners. racing beat and xtremerotaries offer the inserts.

get ksports. theyre great and offer different spring rates for your needs. there is also a ksport factory in Tempe az... so if you need custom applications they can help out

Go Ksport. They're local and a cheap coil over.
Contact Fueled down here in Tempe. Todd has the hook up on prices and is a great guy. He WILL beat any price.

I'm running Kontrol Pro's. I got mine for around $880 due to a price hike at the time. They may be around that or cheaper now.
As for springs. They will NEVER come close to coil overs.
You also want to look into
DTSS Eliminators
New control arm/subframe bushings

Do you know if you can purchase those coilovers with different shocks/springs? I would like to see the prices if I upgraded their coilovers with Koni yellow shocks and perhaps Swift springs. I have always been interested in that Ground control Camber/Caster kit for the FC3S as well. I heard a lot of good things about Max ...thanks for your time!

I would recommend DG-5's to anyone/everyone that wants the best setup for off the shelf coilovers.
You could probably build a Penske/Moton set-up that would out perform them, but they are awesome.
Save, buy quality ****, enjoy.
Or buy the cheapest ****, and have the teeth rattled out of your head.
.02 cents.

yeah I think your right it would be not very cost effective at that point. oh by the way ...anyone ever use the Stance-PRO coilovers? I like the idea of inverted shocks in the front....
