Drop Questions

I just got into an 04 ep3 and i want to do some suspension work i am wondering if just getting some springs will be ok or if i should get a whole kit with everything. thanks

[Tnhatch03]

what do you mean by whole kit? shocks/springs?

i have stock shocks and eibach springs with SPC rear camber kit, i think. no issues at all.

IMO, do at least shocks/springs and rear camber. Or if your a strapped for cash and do just springs, then don't drop it more than 1.5 in and get a CTR or DC5 rear sway.

I agree, this is a good setup if your not looking to break the bank.

if its just for dd, tokico blues and lowering springs fit the bill.

Tokico Blues are stock replacements. Go with the Tokico Ds if you are dropping it to better match the stiffer spring rates. If you drive competitively then you should look at the Konis, but the fronts are a PITA to install.

blues = stock.....koni's or bilstiens ftw.....

for just dd.. i think it'll be the best to get any set of cheap coilovers.
Tein basic or SS are very comfortable street coilovers.
both are height adjustable
i don't like spring + shock combo b/c i find it harder to match with personal taste.

HFP suspension or tein s-techs... those tiens were great on my car with stock shocks for the past two years... smooth ride... then i'd upgrade the shocks eventually...
