Anyone know where to get performance susp parts at a reasonable price?
sway, struts, l/r control arm

 

if you want the cheapest then ebay might be your pick.

personal fav is shox.com. good service and no problems with warranties.

BTW not much you can do with control arms but replace the old crusty bushings.

 

gee thanks danny

 

New Cont arms E bay doesnt really have a great selection for 3rd gen susp parts

 

What would be the best performance combo for our cars? Koni/Eibach setup?

 

They warrantied my old Tokicos quickly and with zero hassle.

 

yep... along with FSTB & RSTB. also check out Matt's site of goodies. www.mattblehm.com

 

i have talked to quite a few people today and they said gabriel ultra's are allmost a twin to kyb... what do you think?

 

I would go with Tokicos or Koni's


Also I replied to your post in my FS thread

 

Whats the difference between the Konis and Tokicos?

 

Konis are adjustable for rebound but not compression (IIRC), are of higher quality, and should last for years. They offer substantial ride and handling improvements over anything else that you can put on a 3rdGen. Konis can handle a set of performance springs like Eibachs without being worse for the wear.

Tokicos are decent but wear very quickly. I went through one set in 15k miles and the second set in about the same. I do not recommend them, especially with Eibachs.

 

shox.com wants 557 for koni struts (4), internet automart wants 250 for the same thing.... or am i missing something? I mean damn why would i spend double that

 

$250 front/ $250 rear... still better than shox.com

 

But internetautomar can't beat the package deal offered for Koni/Eibach from shox.com

 

actually I may be able too, i'll have to ask them

 

What is the general opinion of KYB's?

 

huh? what do you mean 250 front and 250 rear, is 125 per strut or per pair of struts?

 

Konis are 125 each.

 

Decent OEM replacement that will be quickly destroyed by lowering springs such as Intrax or Eibach.

 

don't feel offended...i just never had any experience with order suspension parts from you.

i assume you're an authorized dealer?

GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICES
You will find our SHOXSHOP on line pricing much lower than local shops, dealers, and catalog companies. We update it daily to stay extremely competitive. If you are a "shop till you drop" internet surfer and come across a lower price (they may shop us and make it a few dollars lower for spite), we now have a way for you to save even more money. We will not only match the lower price but will ship it to you for free (anywhere in the Continental United States). If they offer free shipping, we'll beat their price by 5%. To take advantage of this, you must use the order form below.

Click here for our secure link. We must receive either a link to the website (for online orders) or a fax copy of the page that shows the lower price. Also, we MUST have a phone number for the company so we can verify they are legit and have the parts in stock as opposed to a fly by night operation that takes your $$$ but doesn't delivery the goods. We won't process your credit card till we confirm with you we can ship within 24 to 48 hours. The parts you order will be delivered direct from our warehouse, the manufacturer's warehouse, or direct from one of our dealers.

let the price wars begin?

I have the KYB's and they are very good. I also have Eibach springs with no problems.

 

How Much Did You Pay For The Eibach Springs

 

I bought them off an Org member for $155

 

owned by caps filter

 

i wasn't offended, I know I'm not the first vendor on most people's minds yet

actually I have a deal with shox.com that they ship em for me, so I'm not an authorized dealer, but you're still getting them from one

 

if we buy from you and if there's a warranty issue...does it go to you or to shox.com?

 

Ask Matt93se about replacing crusty old control arm bushings with Energy Suspension upgraded bushings.

 

probably through me and I'll deal with shox

 

Let me know if you ever find a way to beat their prices. I'm looking to get new struts and springs here in a few months. My car now has that lowrider feeling going since I put that new FSTB on. So it's time to replace

 

lowerider feeling? only thing i noticed was that you can take corners easier.

 

the bumps are now transfered evenly to both sides of the car. So it gives it that lowrider feeling in the front end.
