FC suspension
Well, I want to work a little on suspension. I will upgrade springs / struts in a month or two. I was wondering if this
is any good?
I have a press, so i was wondering if it would be easy to install? Good price? All around, is this a good product, or is there a better / stiffer kit out there? Or, maybe the same kit but cheaper? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Key thing about changing the suspension is detemining what you want to achive.
Contrary to popular belief you want the vehicle to ride as softly as possible so as to keep the tyres in contact with the road....without causing side effects.
Car that are setup too hard often lose grip and are uncomfortable to drive.
Follow a stiffly set car through a long fast bumpy corner and watch the car patter across the road.
I put the complet RB -1" setup on my FC TII 91 with Tokico Illuminas.
Here in London UK we have many speed bumps so I didn't want to go to low.
The general road surface, with the exception of our motorways (Freeways), is relatively poor. As a result this setup is slightly too hard, even for my style of driving. I run the Tokico's on setting 2 (out of 5) and have good control in road use.
