sup everyone, havent been on for a while (everyone thinks "thank God"). But anyway, I've been looking for a suspension kit. Right now I'm looking at the Tokico Illumina system. Some people have told me to get a ground control coilover system and then get new shocks. What do you guys think?

 

ground control coilovers and koni yellow shocks/struts....very good setup.

 

What are you gonna be using the car for, and what kinda money are you looking at spending?

Like JHS said, Koni's and GC's are a beast setup for not too much $$$, but they aren't cheap either. And they really aren't the best if the car is a daily driver...

 

it is a daily driver, but i dont want the car to ride like sh*t, hence the reason im not getting just coilovers and only spending like 200$. I dont mind spending around 400-600 for suspension. but yea like i said, its a daily driver that i dont want to handle and ride bad. like ive heard about getting a coilover kit and then updating the shocks/struts because just getting a coilover kit will ride bad.

 

OK, well, if I was you, I would look at gettting a set of springs (Skunk2, H&R) and a set of shocks (KYB, or whatever else fits your budget).

Keeps you under $600, and will be a nice comfy ride. But whatever you do, don't use the stock shocks. That would suck.

 

the tokico hpk setup, or the ilumina matched spring/shock packages are supposed to be pretty good, and relatively inexpensive ($450 for the HPK setup from most places)

that'll include everything you need to install (outside of LCA bolts)

 

I just had the Megan Coilover Damper Kit - Street Series installed a couple weeks ago. I am so pleased with the handlingthatI am even thinking of selling my 04 CBR RR (too many stupid drivers here in LA.) Anyway,I got the kit for $850. The ride is a bit bumpy but you can adjust the damper to make it comfortable for you. I also bought the camber kits for the front and rear. I can say that it was the best thing that I purchased for my car.
