Upgrading to Coilovers- Anything else?
Upgrading to Coilovers- Anything else?
In about another 6k miles ill be changing to Tein Basic coil overs. I have around 82k miles on my G coupe and was wondering while its in the garage is there anything else i should be replacing or fixing at the time. kill 2 bird with one stone.
Any other suggestions on coil overs i could be looking at. Im looking for something under $900 and comfort
Im looking at these, seems they have the best price and I can pick up.

at 82k i had alrady replaced my lower contol arm bushings and compression rod bushing.
bought them from z1motorsports, they were a vendor here
not too sure what that second picture you have it. Is that a top hat? Shouldnt you be able to re use your old ones?

While you're replacing the coilovers you may want to consider alignment correction items as well. If you're going much lower the rear camber arms and toe bolts will be necessary, and may want to consider adjustable camber arms up front.
Not sure how much research you've done on the coils themselves, and Tein makes some good stuff for a lot of cars, but most folks that run them on our platform haven't seemed all that happy. Depending on what your goals are you might want to look into BC Racing BR coilovers or save up a bit longer for Stance, F&F, etc.
And last, since everything will be apart anyway, it's a good time to swap your sway bars and endlinks if you want better handling. Doesn't need to be done, but if you think you might do it at some point it's easier when it's all already apart.

ya its a top hat, just saw it on ebay and was thinking since its rubber, always good to replace rubber things on a car

I just started researching on my options so im ready for the future. My bro said to go with KW but i dont have that money ! ...... Im reallylooking for a good brand with no maintenance or extra things to buy, quality and comfort. Not looking to lower the vehicle really, so adjustable coil overs is w.e to me.
Well just keep in mind you need to spend an extra ~$700 on a camber kit f/r + toe bolts. Also you'll want to change the compression bushings and maybe lower control arm bushings + the price of install of all of these components. End links could possibly use replacing as well.
You're looking at ~2500 for all of this, so it's a lot more than $800 on coilovers.

If you're looking to keep stock height just get a set of the Tokico blues (non-adjustable) or the Tokico D Specs (adjustable) for strut replacements.
If i go with these Bilstein do i need to upgrade my springs or can i keep my stock. Again i want stock height. and while replacing i want to budget for other rubber components and bushings that need replacing.
