ok, im a frequent forum user, but haven't really checked out the suspension stuff very much. I was wondering, if i had a budget of about 500 dollars, what would be the best stuff to do that would improve handling and possilbly get a bit of a drop (i only want about an inch to an inch and a half if i drop it). Any input would be nice...also id like to recomment a kind of review sticky like the one in the i/h/e forum. Thanks for any help

 

u should talk todblclutchin about how he likes his setup. he's on a budget as well and found a nice deal. here's what he saidon a previous thread:

"I know what I'm getting for sure. KYB GR-2's from Summit- $268 for all 4 and Megan Racing lowering springs from Street Styler on sale- $100 I think its a decent setup for a student on a budget."

 

Forty has a Tokico setup, seems to work for him, and the drop is about that much.

 

or u can get some s-techs or h-techs and usem wiut ur stock struts is what i hear

 

you can, but i wouldn't waste my money on taking the cheep route. i would just get the goods the first time so you don't fork out more down the road

 

so are a decent set of coilovers pretty much out of that price range? I don't need really stiff, somewhere in between ideal autox and commuter

 

what do yal think about dropzone coils versus tokico setup that forty has?

 

dropzones???

 

My friend ran neuspeed springs on tokico hps and he loved it. He also had sways, I had a chance to drive it before he totalled it, it drove like it was on a rail. Great setup I'll say.

 

Was that intended to be as condescending as it sounded?
