what suspension setup should i go with for my FC. i want a really low drop, like 1 fist off the ground and a pretty smooth ride. i am thinking about ground control coilovers with koni yellows, ground control coilovers with tokico illuminas, koni coilovers, or tein coilovers. any opinions?

 

tein flex coilovers for the win.

 

whats the difference if i get the GC spring/koni shock setup as opposed to just getting some coilovers? do they let me adjust the height lower or something?

 

you have a lot of different tuning options to get the best out of your suspension. Also, with the flex series coilovers you can get teh EDFC and adjust settings on the fly

 

gc/koni for the budget win

 

I never associated Konis with budget. Maybe I'm just poor.

 

i guess you must be one of them that cuts stock springs and runs on stock shocks

 

That's a really stupid thing to do to an FC.
You're get ugly rear camber that will eat rear tires in WEEKS.
Have fun replacing your rear tires every week...or end up putting the car in a ditch really soon.

Exactly. Some of you need to read his post he just want to be LOW y0! There's no reason to recommend Koni yellows or anything else because then it would just be a waste.

Like I said cut your springs if that's what you're into.


Well koni yellow/GC is best bang for the buck for sure. But budget for me is Tokico blues with some eibach springs or something similar.

 

I thought GC springs were Eibach?

 

tockico blues is like a stock replacement, cheap but it doesnt even make a difference

 

and yes they are eibach springs with gc sleeves

 

They will make a difference on a 15 year old car with stock struts.

Yes, GC uses eibach springs, what I meant were eibach lowering springs since they are a good 200 dollars cheaper than GC's.

 

Yeah, I'm going with Tokico blues and Tanabe springs until I can afford the JICs.
