Which of These Two Suspension Setups Should I get?
KYB AGX shocks, Whiteline Springs and Tein Pillow Ball mounts. Or Tein Basic kit and Tein pillow ball mounts. Later additions will be Whiteline sway bars and some brand of bushings...Thanks for any opnions!
Hello!
That's a real good question! I had the same problem a little while ago with the same basic set up. I figured that I would go KYB shocks with the Whiteline springs (PDM Racing I assume?) and do the front and rear Whiteline stabilzer bars as well. Good thing I did because the complete set up is truly unreal, especially when compared to 12 year old blown out stock!!
The main reason why I didn't want to go with JIC Magic adjustable coilovers was because I also wanted to replace all of the rear links with adjustable units and heim joints. The cost of that project ended up being in the thousands and that was just too much for me. I'm the kind of guy that waits to do everything at the same time because what's the point of having some bad *** coilovers with crappy stock stabilzer bars and blown bushings, ect?
Anyway, I'm rambling. I'd say get the most bang for your buck and buy a whole slew of really good suspension components rather than just a few excellent ones. What I keep telling myself is that I will sell my current setup later on to make some of the initial cost back and use that towards coilovers and more exotic setups in the future after I get a real job.
As far as bushings, for the rear uprights, use NISMO and for the front lower control arms go Whiteline polys. Every other bushing on your car should be replaced with spherical joints!!!
