new to this suspension thing, yeah i`m a noob

[sickep3x1]

what`s up guys. so i just got a ep3...and it`s on stock suspension. i was wondering what`s a suspension kit i can get to have it dropped and not have a bumpy ass ride, also not a shitty suspension lol greatly appreciate it if someone can give me some suggestions

[BlkDeathSi]

depends on your budget

moton full replacements are almost $6000
mugen full replacements are $1100-1300
buddy club full coilovers are $1100
tein go from $500-2000
megan and progress coilovers are $800-900
tokico struts and springs are $400
springs alone are $100-400 but this will definitely cause you to blow your shocks at which point you will wish you had never put them on in the first place

in any case, except maybe the mugen option, you will need to get a camber kit to straighten out your wheels or you will use tires like toilet paper, or your left hand

how`s the megan and progress coilovers compared to the tockico struts and springs? which one is smoother D:

[thakid]

Go with the mugen. Can't go wrong there.

[sickep3x1]

lolz, i don`t think i can afford that ]:

[Strife]

Megan has gotten great reviews for both the ride and their ability to prevent steering rack creak whilst lowered.

oh really?? and the price range is accurate from the previous person that commented on this thread about the prices?

[BlkDeathSi]

Yes my prices are fairly accurate, I double checked before i posted, its called research . . . contrary to my seemingly low post count, I used to have nearly 3k posts, i have installed numerous suspensions on different eps here in san antonio.

Good luck on whatever direction you plan to go in

I've had eibach pro's since I first got the car and I haven't blown nothin. I think its probably the more severe lowering springs (-1.5" and more) that blow stock struts.

[sickep3x1]

ohh alright ahaha. sooo blkdeathsi, what`s your opinion about the megan coils, since you`ve installed many suspensions in your hood.

[nolij869]

i have tokico blues and tokico springs that lower 1.4 inch all around and everyone who gets in my car likes how smooth the ride is for being lowered. the spring rates are soft tho. my car is a dd so its alright i do want to get stiffer springs tho like prolines. i think shock and spring combo is the best for keepin a nice ride and having a lowered look...it depends how you want to drive your car and if adjustability is important to you.

[Passenger]

Just me personally, one reason I didn't go coils is cause I just don't see a need if you're going to just be going to work/school/get groceries in the ep. Thats just me though,

[BlkDeathSi]

megans are good for relatively low cost coils . . depemds on what you want out of it. are you going to just drop it and leave it, or are you going to raise it sometimes, lower it others?

If you are just looking for the drop without sacrificing the handling too much, go with mugens, hfp if you can find it, or tokico blues w their springs, all of which are non adjustable

[Calvinep3]

progress springs
and some shocks man
u cant go wrong
but first do as much research u can on your own
learn everything possible about yours cars suspension
then make a decision

[sickep3x1]

honestly...i just want a drop look...and a smooth ride...and good handling...
