hmm...suspension pondering

[yangs13]

so i work at autozone...and was thinking for new struts/shocks and coil springs for a while...i was gonna go with kyb's with teins but how different would it be if i bought some gabriel struts/shocks with the teins?

[S14toRPS13]

I honestly don't think there'll very much of a difference in performance. Go for the cheaper ones. So I'm assuming you're a hmoob yaj too huh?

[moulton712]

the kyb's with teins work fine. i have that set up in my convertible. for daily driving it works great and looks great.

I have KYB GR-2's and tein springs, great combo, but I would so go with AGX's and tein springs

yup. hmoob yaaj. i can get them for pretty cheap because of my employee discount and the rebate for them so i was wondering if it would be much different than say kyb gr2s...

[simmode1]

I wonder why my AGX/S- tech experience has been so different from these opinions here. I hate this combo. The ride feels incredibly rough, and the drop is frustratingly small... The AGX's valving isn't well suited for the s-tech's spring rate at all...

If you're stuck on getting shocks/struts/springs eibach sports go lower but I can't vouch for the ride.

Can you order Koni yellows ?

[S14toRPS13]

Okay, Yaaj. So you're green. If it's just for daily driving you'll be fine. Are you planning to upgrade to coilovers in the future?

[yangs13]

yea dd, maybe some autox...idk about the coilovers though i figure get another car when im done with school ( probably 2 more yrs.) and see if i wanna build up the 240

[hbpignosePA]

koni's ftmfw..

i hear the are nice with megans, i have RSR springs

ground control coilover sleeves are also an option...

but for the whole price, u can buy entry level coils... its all up to u

aren't Garbriels OE replacement? They'll blow with lowering springs.

You want a good recommendation on spring/ struts? RSR springs w/ Konis

gr-2's are basically OEM replacements as well. if anything get the agx/tein combo. or, depending on how much you are spending you might be able to get some tein basics or tanabe s-0c 2's (i think thats what they are called) and be able to set a better ride height.

[Redline240]

I say go AGX and sportlines...tried and true, work good together, nice drop...i love em...

yea thats what i thought too with the gr2's and many people have them...and they seem to not have problems with lowering springs
