i am installing my GC coilovers next week. should i replace all the suspension parts that are recommended somewhere on the org. or are some of the parts unneeded with the coilovers.
like the front upper and lower seats and the rear upper seat?

 

could someone post the order of parts that should go on the struts on the front and shocks on the back along with ground controls?

right now mine is making some noises, and i already insulated the sleaves, so its not that. im not sure where the noise is coming from. it happens to the front when i turn the steering wheel, and going at low speeds. the back makes noise on bumps. but the noises are inconsistent...they occur sometimes and don't at other times.

99maxi - sorry for whoring your thread, but it'll help you out too. i kept the rest of my stuff stock, but i only have 35k miles on my car.

 

hey Dev, how do you like the ride so far? I s it very stiff, or at least barable?
thanks,
adrian.

 

Adrian,

if im travelling on smooth roads, its really nice, and stays planted while cornering. but on bumpy roads it can get kind of stiff at times. im 19 so i don't mind...
im running them with stock shocks right now at a 1.5" drop, and compared to another org member, it rides pretty similar. he has eibach springs with tokico blue struts on their way out. we both lack dampening.
i'd like it a lot more if i could get rid of these noises.
during the first couple days it was silent, but the sounds crept up from somewhere

 

^ Im thinking coilovers on stock struts/shocks is borderline dangerous. I would get some Illuminas or AGXs on there ASAP.

 

i still did not get my question answered...

 

I believe with the type of a drop that the coilovers bring you will need a chamber kit and new strut bearings (some type of bearings that are cheap tock plastic) But it sounds like you might want to get help on installing these bad boys so you don't mess anything up.
