Coilovers or Struts/Springs??
so i have been doing a lot of research on what to buy and im still unsure so i want it to ask you guys. thinking bout buying a set of tein basic coilovers or tokico strutz and Z tein Htechs. all i want is about a inch drop and maybe next summer drop it a lil bit more and buy the camber parts.. i dont race, just use my car in the weekends. which set would you guys go for.
|
Which one do you want more lol. Coilovers will be better in the long run but I would wait and buy a really good set like KWs or BCs. May only be your weekend car but at least get a rear camber kit.

I've always been more of a fan of coilovers but some people don't necessarily need the adjustment. Between those choices I'd probably get Tein Basics. I've owned Super Streets in the past and like them quite a bit.
|
i could buy the BCs theyre $200 more but i dont really think i need them. i dont need to control the stiffness or dampnening . all i want is a nice suspension for street driving.. im aiming more towards the tein coils so i can adjust height next summer

Get the BC's for the dampening adjustment. They're only $80 more if you get them from a vendor on here(B2auto)

what would be the difference? im not going to race or anything crzy would be worth it? i dont want to slam my car also i barely want to drop my G less than a inch so i dont have to buy spc/ichiba camber. with the tein CO the max drop is 0.9 F and 0.4 R which would be good for the winter and then in the summer i would drop it more and get the camber.

Coilovers are the way to go if you can afford it....so many reasons..

i'd invest the in BC coils too... i heard Tein Basics are stiff as hell.
you probably won't be happy with the drop on the Z Tein H-techs. |
I contemplated getting springs for a while, but one thing that drove me away is the wild variability in Spring Rates among manufacturers. Most are softer than OEM, some are linear, some are progressive, ect. I end up going with Coilovers and I'm glad I did.

just decided to go with coilovers mainly because of the spring rate. like you guys said about aftermarket springs rate are very low even less than OEM and tein h techs were kind of ok... but the drop 5ucks.. i hate how the G looks so uneven stock, higher in the front than the back.. thanks a lot guys i got tein i dont need all the extra option that the bc offer.
