hows this suspension setup sound?

[silpena]

hey tell me what you think. I'm on a budget and i need a little more saving to buy this but i'll be there in like 2 months once i do some bodywork/paint for some ppl. This is what i have so far.

1 Circuit Sports Inner/Outter Tie Rod Combo : S13/14 130.00 1 Circuit Sports Rear Toe Links : S13/14 Model: S13(89-94) 99.00 1 Circuit Sports Tension Rods : S13/14 Model: S13(89-94) 108.00 1 Circuit Sports Aluminum Steering Bushing : S13 23.75 1 Energy Suspenion Sway Bar Bushings : S13/14 [FRONT] Option: S13-Hicas(#7.5122/ADD$+4) 19.00 1 Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings : S13/14 [REAR] Option: S13(#7.5122) 22.00 1 Tanabe Sustec Front Under Brace S13/S14 79.95 Subtotal: 481.70 Shipping: 21.25 Tax: 39.74 Total: 542.69

not to shabby if you ask me I can't get traction rods because i have hicas but it doesn't bother me i don't drift. Just a spirited driver As For Coil overs, I'm going with bc racing coil overs. In coil overs i like to think of long term investments on these things becuase they take alot of abuse and the roads are unpredictable where i live. If i ever wear/blow them i can get a whole new shock 95/set so thats better than buying a whole new set. The only other company that gives replacements this cheap is kts but i'm going with bc racing(they look so nice. Any tips would be helpful guys! I'm keeping my budget as right now 1.6k under unless like i said earlier, if i paint some cars for some ppl and do some body work in my spare time then i get more parts. As for wheels/tires, i'm staying with my stock 7 spoke se's. I don't need bigger wheels and tires as of right now and 5 lug is not gonna be on my list ever.

hey bro i see u got lotz of adjustable aftermarket suspension parts there but, if you are not planning on drifting i dont see the need in buying all this stiffer parts. your ride quality will be very harsh. not trying to talk smack just a tip.

moved to suspensions forum.

Lets post suspension Q's in the suspensions forum from now on mmkay? Otherwise, you'll get a thread full of PW's instead of answers you'd like to hear.

anyways, will you be getting aftermarket sway bars anytime soon? Reason I'm asking is cuz if you do, those energy sway bar bushings will be of no use to you. They're only for oem bars.

Few things to add, imo, I'd go with SPL tie rod ends w/ z32 tie rods. and WTH is BC racing coilovers?

[silpena]

nope no aftermarket sway bars, just bushings. I plan on keeping it like that. Harsh rides don't bother me. Better,stiffer, responsive, predictable is what i like. I will plan on doing some track in the future. i take my car in the backroads around my county and their pretty fun but old worn out stock suspension is done. I'll look into spl. seems pricy but if they are that much better and worth it then i'm on it. Bc racing is apparently the manufacture that produces megan coilovers (rumor I've heard) I've heard compared to tien's they're alot better. For 1k i think i'm gonna get some because their shock replacement's are cheap n easy to replace. I'm gonna get new ball joints and control arms with white line bushings to add in there.

Hmm.. I've never heard of them, nor do I know anyone riding them. Their color scheme looks a lot like Stance (which is also somewhat near the same price range).



but if the ride feels anything like Megan coilovers, I'd pass them up. Just my .02.

[silpena]

yeah i know what you mean. I;ve read on a review that these feel better than tien he's and drift coilovers but idk i guess i'll get them. Its the replacement shocks for the price that got me hooked on these.
