stock height and stiffer ride?

Postby TMMK Toy » Sat Oct 21, 2006 4:39 pm

bushings, anti sway bars. Also, if you got the money, go for coilovers that way you can retain your stock ride height or adjust it to a small drop.

i looked at the websites for coilovers. it looks like you can crank it down a bunch, but the starting point is already about a 1" drop. unless i misunderstood, it doesn't look like you could keep it at a stock height.

With coilovers, you can raise it higher than stock if you wish. Coilovers can retain the stock height and add 2-3x the stiffness or more to the ride.

thanks. i think i will try the h-techs. hopefully that'll work. if not, i guess i'll have to look into the coilovers. such a crazy difference in price, though.

RSB

Postby Sentinel » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:59 am

don;t even mess around untill you get the RSB. Makes your car feel like it has a new suspension on it. And for less than $200.
