sacicons is right, anything over 17 is a waste... if you want to go totally for the performance go with some 15 or 16 inch lightweights.

 

i'm learning so much..


now what is the best height(for the suspension) for performance?

 

lowered about 1.5 to 2.5 inches, depending on wheels and tires. ive got adjustable coilovers on mine, and ive been playing with it to find what is best, and right now ive got it handling well, but it was a little lower and would rub a little around u-turns, so i raised it just enough to stop that. now its perfect.

 

struts will help suspension more, but springs will give you a little less handling than struts, but a much more comfortable ride. Look into a strut bar which is a brace that goes into the engine bay and locks the 2 strut towers together, reducing chassis flex.

but the biggest improvment (aftersprings/struts) will be in the way of sway bars, huge difference!

 

hell yeah, i couldnt believe it when i got my rear one on, now its all about off-throttle oversteer. on-command oversteer from a FF car? sweet!

 

so....let me ask a question if the best height is 2.0 inches why shoul i putt coil over and not only TEIN's springs....?

 

the springs are made to be pretty good for all kinds of driving, but not the best for any one kind. the coil overs are adjustable so you can set them for what you like. if you want to lower it all the way to look good, and then raise it all the way for driving in the snow with chains on your tires, you can. they are more useful for everything as well as being a little better for handling. but a good set is way more expensive than springs.

 

ok so....i think i'm gonna buy those springs.....(TEIN"S)

 

good call, then when you want the super street coilovers, you can sell the springs, and make some of your money back.

 

thanks...
