suspension for a "daily driver" under $1000

[lil_Eggy]

subscribed...i might be driving ~90miles a day/5 days a week


...currently have tein basics

[v1c10us]

megan racing coilovers for 900.
or ground control w/ koni's
s-techs with d-specs

[RedSiBaron]

im running konis with tein s techs...my vote is atleast go konis and pick a spring that fits your needs

[powdbyrice]

adjustability for a daily driver is overrated and hyped up like front strut bars.

you shouldnt have to pay more than $700 for a decent setup. tokico HPK (blues w/matched springs) is only ~$550.

i just ordered the n+, youll have to wait to get your hands on a set of progress coilovers

[chrispychicken]

The bad thing about the buddy club N+ is that you cant send them back to get them revalved. Thats the only bad thing I can think of. Tein and progress you can send back.

I got Tokico HP/H&R, Comptech Rear Sway, and camber kit and Im happy with it. And theres plenty of sweet mountains near my house

Think of getting Tokico Dspecs with H&R Springs, camer kit and progress rear sway. Then it would be a most definately fun car to drive.

Tokico HP Blues.....with progress springs

i like the shock/lowering spring combo.

bullshit! adjustability still has its place on the street (unless you were saying you dont need coilovers, and in that case i agree with you, non autox/track street car does not need coilovers), dialing in your suspension still makes a huge difference just like your alignment being dialed in...

for the buddy clubs, you can take them back to any legit shop that deals with suspensions and they will revalve it for you.

i think he meant things like dampening and ride height.

thanks, but i have to say that i dont agree that they dont do anything, adjustment makes a difference, im not trying to start a fight here...some shocks are going to be junk on adjustments, some arent...i buy good shocks...

i guess i was a little harsh so sorry about that, not bullshit, just wouldnt scare people away from adjustable shocks...

now i will admit that if hte person buying the shocks doesnt know anything about suspension, they will more than likely dial themselves out of performance, so going the non adjustable route is probably the best...and that there is another reason why i think most people running coilovers shouldnt be...most people have no need for coilovers, and most have no clue what the point is or how to set them up...


if the og wants shocks and wont be able to set them up properly, i vote bilsteins (unless there is an issue with internal bumpstops and lowering, which i havnt looked into with the ep...)
