I just read the springs thread, now I want to know which setup won't have me bouncing all over the place like I'm in my friends civic. I feel like I have to wear a helmet to protect my head when I'm in that car. I want a hot suspension, but I don't want it to be bouncey and ruff. I live in Chicago and the roads aren't the best, and I have a long drive to work so I need some comfort, but also want the performance when I need it.

Please help getting rims and and don't have to have the big wheel gap.

 

Tokico Illuminas adjustables or Koni adjustable struts with Eibach or H&R springs are the best performance struts and springs availible. I have illumina/eibachs and I posted a thread about them a while ago but i cant find it. You must have missed all the suspension threads about a month back.

EDIT: found it

Theres tons of suspension info in this thread. There are pics of the drop and the adjuster ***** too.

 

If by "hot suspension" you mean low, then Progress Tech offers about the lowest drop without seriously degrading the ride. If the H&R or Eibach drop is low enough for you, they offer the best performance.

 

got Eibach w/ Tokicos. Not too low and confortable ride though many potholes and bumps

 

Tein S-techs With Gr-2's

 

S-techs are too low to be used in chicago area IMO

 

H-techs should be less drop and more comfort

 

Yeap. I say go w/ H-Tech or Eibach

 

Here are some popular springs and their associated drops. As a general rule of thumb, a lower drop = poorer ride. Again, I say general - I understand spring rates can effect this - so please don't flame.

Eibach: 1.3F 1.0R
Progress: 1.7F 1.5R
H&R: 1.4F 1.3R
Sprint: 1.8F 1.8R
Maxspeed: 1.4F 1.3R
Tein H-Tech: 1.6F 1.0R

For struts, Go illumina, Koni, or AGX so you can adjust them to your liking.

 

yea but remember im in miami and all we have is straight roads but my problem would be flooding. which is why i dont take my car out when its flooded.

 

gotta love the FLA!
