Coilovers?
 
Well i have koni yellows and H&R springs. Over the last 5000 miles i have noticed the cars handling feeling like it was getting sloppy. They have about 50,000 miles on them all of the miles are track and canyons.

I was wondering what you guys would suggest going with coilovers or just shocks and springs? I am not worried about price that much. I mostly do canyon runs and afew track days.

ohhh btw its going on a 93 touring

Have you simply adjusted the Konis a hair stiffer? Are any of the Konis blown?

If you have been happy with the handling and ride height aspects of the car until recently, I would look a little more carefully at your setup before spending $1300+ on decent coilovers.

Several of the rear suspension bushings are likely to be toast at that mileage with frequent hard cornering. Do some investigative work before dropping the cash....

yes, what is wrong with the cars handling exactly? does it occur on bumps or just on turn in?

i know that the front right has some problems for sure i was adjusting it stiffer and shock oil leeked out and you can wiggel the top very gently and it will leek.


ohh yeah and i have tryed to make it more firm, and also my back right wheelwell rubs when it didnt use to

Eeh, shocks are blown. Konis have a lifetime warranty, hit them up for new ones...:)

Bowen 05-21-05 05:34 PM

phew, i wasnt looking forward to buying shocks, do you think i shouild replace the springs too,

rynberg 05-21-05 06:47 PM

I don't see a reason too, unless they are actually showing metal fatigue. H&R is very high quality, but it can happen. I guess it's up to you but I doubt there's a problem with them.
