I talked to mike and he suggested a new suspension setup. What kind of suspension setups are you running that doesnt give you too big of a drop since i dont wanna bottom out more than I allready do with my current setup.

 

By bottoming out, do you mean the suspension bottoming out or your body scraping the ground?

If you mean the suspension, you should be fine if you stick to the big names (like Eibach, Tokico, etc.) or get a good set of coilovers. A properly designed set of springs and shocks will prevent you from bottoming out no matter what your ride height is. If you decide to go with a traditional spring/strut combo, shorter front bumpstops and long-travel rear shock mounts will help. Nothing is like true coilovers though. I have Ksport coilovers, and I NEVER EVER bottomed out -- even when I was lowered 4".

If you mean scraping your bodywork, though, you'll definitely want coilovers. The brands to look at are TEIN, Ksport, D2, Progress, and JIC. Coilovers will allow you to set your ride height, and have springs that are stiff enough to keep your bodywork off the ground (unless you like charging at speed bumps). No other setup will allow you to have such stiff springs without a really harsh ride.

 

I have tein s techs, agx struts , and havent had a problem yet with my forward y pipe design.

 

If your scaping your turbo piping on stock suspension you need to look at having it redone a bit and bring it up closer to the tranny. Of course your gonna loose some ground clearance with a reverse Y-pipe design, but you shouldn't be scrapping the piping with stock suspension. I am on Eibachs with a reverse Y-pipe and hardly ever bottom out my piping.

 

Coilovers!!! go big or go home

 

JIC FLT-A2's

 

how are the JIC's as far as rebuilds? Tein is awesome, i got my work done under warranty. Cost me like $35 with shipping. GO TEIN!!!
