Which Lowering Kit are you planning on getting and why?

[opekone_1988]

I'm still a bit undecided. Don't know which to buy when they come out. Which would you get.

pro kit FTW. You dont need a low rider.

no fender gap... but I'm goin with ksport coilovers and slamming it. I'm not into the "stock" dropped look, I like drastic but subtle changes =]

Pro Kit. Lower is NOT ALWAYS better. You'll enjoy the ride of the Pro kit as opposed to the Sportline IMO.

i had both on my previous ride ... sportlines 1st then pro kit.. sportline was absolutely great for fast cornering... and that's about it! For a daily driver, you will NOT like the sportlines, you'll kill your shocks, bumps wlill be awful... just not the way to go for a daily driver IMHO

i say sport line, but it kinda depends on what tire and wheel package you go with. if you go with the 20's with the sportline your car will corner like it's on rails, but your ride will be pretty bumpy. i had the pro kit on my stang and didn't really feel them to be much better than my stockies. if you're going to stick with the 215/55vr17's i say go with a sportline cause the tires offer a good bit of shock absorbance and the wheel well will look much more filled than with the pro kit.

when is the sportline gonna come out? I been looking and waiting for coilovers for so long. Also how much will it cost?

[spike228]

I once opted to get simple drop springs and strut replacements, but I did a little research on how those things stress your stock suspension parts differently.

I then decided that its worth the $1400 for the Tein Super street damper. Adjustable height AND damping.

+1 for teins......when are they gonna make one for the coupe?

Be careful for what you wish for. I have had the KSport coilovers for a little over a year, with mixed feelings about them.

They're fun in the twisties and on the AutoX track. You're car will look damn good though.

They're Not so fun when your commute/travels take you on crappy roads. Even roads in fairly good condition can get tiresome with the Ksports.

The ride is stiff, stifffer, and bone-jarring. The 36-way adjustment is hype. You can't have a soft ride and high performance in the same package, at least not with the Ksports.

Feel free to send a PM about the Ksports In order to avoid a thread hi-jack.

What is better about the H&R, I had them on my honda. Im looking at Eibach.

What about a camber kit?

Well after much research they are pretty much the same.. I forgot who tested them out but the conclusion was, they are both high quality products.. the only difference is that the H&R's fall right in the middle of both Eibachs lowering heights.. In my opinion the Eibachs are either a bit too high or way too low... just my opinion.

[deicidean]

So I have seen the notes saying that a 1" slam will not need a camber kit. The H&R spring are a 1.5". Someone on this forum, (nicoclub.com) stated that not until a 1.7"+ you NEED a camber kit. Which I believe my honda had a 1.2" and the tread didn't wear uneven. I liked the H&R springs before, a lower car but uncompromising to the the ride itself. With a 1.5" drop does anyone expect a needed camber adjustment? If so then what?
