I finally able to secure some koni yellows. Now I am at the predicament of whether to use r1 or r2 springs. I know the r2 are a bit softer than r1s but just wanted to hear everyone's 2 cents.

 

no predicament as all FD USA 93-95 springs are the same. the diff is in the dreadful R series shocks.

ha... thank you, mixed up the info. Been out of the rotary game for awhile

 

When I went with the Koni yellows, also went with the Eibach Springs. Many years on this setup and still very happy. Also added RB sway bars at the same time. Not a race car setup, just very nice handling!

 

are the front shocks inter changeable for left and right?

 

Its been a while since I looked into this. As I recall, they are not the same.

 

"Koni yellows, also went with the Eibach Springs. Many years on this setup and still very happy."

that is a no brainer killer combo. do not discount this option.

"are the front shocks inter changeable for left and right?"

no

Front shocks have different part numbers for L & R, rear shocks have the same part number

Howard, there is a set of Tein (assuming S-techs) springs available from a guy in my country. What do you think of Koni + Tein S-tech set-up? Otherwise I might have to look into having Eibachs imported which will cost more and take longer.

 

"What do you think of Koni + Tein S-tech set-up?"

Eibach Pro Kit 350 Fr/ 255 R

S-Tech 440 Fr/ 320 R excellent rate

S-T lowers the car 1.4 inches fr and 1.3 r which is fine. you will need to reset your camber. pls set your car to my specs and don't forget tire pressure.

Ok, will do, thanks

 

Hey Howard,

with the Eibach/Koni setup - how far from stock ride height can you go..? And, if you wanted to, could you keep it at the stock ride height -or- is that not possible?

thanks

hey if you want dome R2 springs ill sell them to you for a $100 there just sitting in my garage

 

I own an R1 with Koni yellows. Will the Eibach springs give better bump compliance/ ride than the stock R1 springs? Or are they harsher? Also, do they change ride height much, or at all? Howard, I just asked you this in your sticky but then I found this thread, sorry.
