should i do it??

RevC · 08-29-2009, 11:30 PM

so..after months of deliberation, i am thinking of finally dropping my daily driver, any NJ drivers wanna chime in? i smack speed bumps on zsp's now so i am a little worried , i don't want to go with full coils on this car yet so..i'm thinking something subtle like the eibach pro-kit, the h&r race is a little aggressive, any opinions/pics? thanks

get h&r sport instead of race.Race is to low imho for NJ.

I have the H&R Sports w/ Koni Yellow shocks/struts and they are great!

I drive in NJ & NYC all the time and have no problems (knock on wood).

GL!

So, I say "DO IT!"

Craig@SupremePower · 08-30-2009, 01:27 AM

H&R sport... do it!!

Craig@SupremePower · 08-30-2009, 10:48 AM

+1...i have same setup as scott and i have to go over speed bumps everytime i enter my development...Never scrape.

LostMarine · 08-30-2009, 11:51 AM

eibach pro-kit, very subtle drop still very comfortable and very affordable.. plus with 19's you may rub a bit if you go lower..

hops2nice4ya · 08-30-2009, 12:01 PM

I have H&R to rev go for H&R

Do yourself a favor and don't get just springs. Your ride will suck big time bro

Craig@SupremePower · 08-30-2009, 03:27 PM

i think the rides fine with just springs but they'll only last around 20,000 miles so if you don't wanna pay for install twice just do it all at once... if you decide to go this route lemme know as we have FK Coils at great deals!

Coilovers FTW!!!

Fk or Kw's and you'll be golden... plus you can adjust the height to whatever u like

Do it up right the first time

+1 Don't half ass it, get coil overs.

cn555ic · 08-30-2009, 05:02 PM

half ass---you will get raked in the hole later when the oem shocks blow and you have to pay twice for install of suspension..

RevC · 08-30-2009, 07:14 PM

i'd like to go with some FKs eventually but i don't have the cash right now, so i was looking for something until i do

maybe i'll just wait it, and just go ahead and get a complete solution.

JayKay335i · 08-30-2009, 10:48 PM

Do the yellows/H&R sport combo. You wont be disappointed. Just keep fat chicks out of the car.

Aurora Bearialis · 08-30-2009, 11:44 PM

ride a bike!

Craig@SupremePower · 08-30-2009, 11:44 PM

Just get the Silverline which are a V1 type system... stainless steel so they hold up to the harsh winters as well! Great for the money...

Just do the coilovers one time. If you dont have the cash for it now then wait until the time is right. Rushing into a quick solution will make you loose money in the end.

+1 especially in NJ; if we lived in Cali, then fuck it get it. just not worth it, your rims will be bent, because the wheel will be taking the brunt of the force since no travel in the suspension. not worth it IMO.

BobS · 09-01-2009, 03:59 PM

I just have Eibach pro spring kit installed and the drop is great, handles well, and i don't scrape at all. I am getting a daily soon though bc i don't want to drive my car in the winter and i don't want all the mileage on my car from work. I've driven for 3 months now with the springs and my 19's and i'm fine.
