anyone using coilovers?

whats out there for us? tein, ksport, kw (?)...anything else?

just wondering if anyone is running tein basics or ksports yet?

how is the ride on them? spring rates, etc?

I'm running the Cusco Compact-S coilovers on my car. ^^

It's pre-dampened coilover set and rides pretty nicely. I'm lowered about two inches in the rear and about 1.8 inches in the front. as for spring rate I'm not too sure

they also list the stats on the Megans

I'm totally happy with my Tein basics.:tongue:

TEIN super streets with EDFC here :wink:

pretty darn stiff, but handles awesome!

thanks guys...

those megans dont really list spring rates, and those cuscos are waaaaaaay too stiff up front.

if tein basics were a bit cheaper and had dampening control, id likely rock them

im thinkin about getting ksports w/ custom spring rates of 225/200 f/r...

who can tell me what the widest tire/rim i can run is?

ive been looking at 16x7's w/ maybe a 205 or 215 tire (i realize 215's will be hard to come by/be too expensive) but i just want to know what i can run w/ a 1.5"-2" drop w/o rubbing

ey dude.. did u get camber plates wid ur basics? do we need em?

[brickhardmeat]

well, I didn't adjust the camber, the tein basics require that you reuse a few parts, such as dust covers that will need to be trimmed down and also bumpstops which obviously require trimming

the answer is no I believe if you want to adjust camber you will need camber bolts

[barebonedvitz]

since u've had ur alignment, have u had any camber issues at all? how low is ur drop? thanx man!
