If you had alot of money what suspension setup would you run?

If i had a huge amount of cash I'd buy 4 sets of coils, Tein; JIC; Tanabe and Stance, test the hell out of them and decide which I like best. I'd then move on to other susp. parts doing the same - a lot of trial and error.

Though, being poor, I tend to appreciate the things I do buy a lot more than if I didn't really care about it.

If i had alot of money i would NOT buy JDM coilovers and buy a set of Ohlin or bilstein Shocks or coilovers, Ground controls , Camber Plates custom strut housings etc and have a real good setup.

If you ARE on a budget and are in the mid level "coilover" price range, Id get Koni yellows and ground controls (You can order whatever spring rates you want) camber plates and have ur custom housings made...

to be honest i think Konis offer the best type of suspension since you can choose any spring adjustment and damper settings in both compression in rebound. Depending on how accurate you need your damping to be this would be the best coilover. But when it comes to general drifting and driving the differences are very minute that I don't think it would matter much as long as they are brand name coilovers with a lot of damping and spring variability.

HKS all the way baby. Those Hipermax coilovers are teh ballz. But thats my answer for all "if you had no limit to your budget" questions. Otherwise I think my descion to go with the Super drifts by Tein is a good price point and high quality parts.
