Question Suggest a Suspension Set-Up

Short and Sweet

I want coilovers, preferably TEIN, or a reputable alternative.

Priorities

1.) Adjustable Ride height (hence the coilovers)
2.) close to stock comfort (yes I want coils that ride like a cadillac, don't hate)
3.) Handling gains
4.) Decreased body roll

Basically, I want the complete all around package.

currently considering Tein CS Coilovers, maybe w/edfc

suggestions?

its going to be difficult to have handling gains with a stock sedan like ride. The tein flex are going to be stiffer than stock already, so it won't be anywher near "cadillac" like. You have to pick one or the other basically

you can't have your cake and eat it...or however that goes, LOL.

you gotta choose one or the other, really. tein flex is super stiff, even on it's softest setting.

but i love my tein basics. hks rs coils are nice, too.

For this guy, I think Tein Basics are the way to go. No need for dampening adjustments if you don't know what you're doing.

Yup, Calvin is right. Tein Flex are nowhere near the feeling of a stock ride even on the softest setting. Handling gains are unreal but you definitely pay the price when it comes to comfort. But, like I've said many times, my Tein Flex coils w/EDFC and Hotchkis sways are the best mods I have made by far. It is worth it in my book.
