which suspension to get??

[Alastaplat]

this weekend I'm looking to upgrade my suspention. and I was just wondering if anyone would like to recommend a setup that maybe they have had good luck with. I'm looking for something that'll get me through turns well but I don't want something so stiff that when I hit a bump I'm about to fly through my roof.. you know..

- GR-2 + Tein S-TechThis is considered stock replacement, but with slight perfomence increase.

- KYB AGX + RSR/GF210/Sportline/ProkitThis is a good setup, but you have to do some research on springs to figure out comport, performance and drop...etc. Personally I recommend Tanabe GF210 cuz quality should be good, it's linear and has decent price.

Won't this setup eventually blow the GR-2s? GR-2s are not meant to be run with a drop.

I'm planning on AGX + S-Tech. I like progressives, actually. Linear with a higher than stock spring rate makes for a harsh ride. He specifically said he wanted to be able to handle bumps.

AZHitman ran GR-2 and S-Tech setup before with no problem. 'Harsh' depends on individual. When I first drove 8kg/6kg coilovers. I was so surprised to see how comfortable they were. Trust me. I used to enjoy soft stock setup before and was worried a lot when I moved on to coilovers. I had no problem giving up comfort for better handling. I would say find other 240s with different setup and try them out. Attending 240 meet is one of good ideas. Take your time and do search...

Yeah, but KYB themselves advise against running that setup long-term. Also, KYB advises cranking up the settings on AGXs when you are running S-Techs... the GR-2s are equivalent to the second lowest settings on the AGXs

And location. I'd imagine the southern states have slightly better roads than Filthydephia

You are right, but I've seen many people running S-Techs with GR-2s with no problem. AGX goes well with S-Tech, RSR, GF210 and Prokit. Drop with Sportline is more than others and it's soft, so many people are against it. It's really hard to match spring rate and dampening with different aftermarket springs and struts. That's why coilovers are good, but most coilovers ride harsh compare to strut/spring combo. I don't think I've seen blown GR-2s with S-Tech springs, but I've seen some blown struts with Sportlines since Sportlines are soft and give more drop. Well, I'd say search hard before you spend money.

Also, my car came w/Sportlines and GR2's already installed. I like the ride and have yet to have any problems (don't know how many total miles, I've put ~10k on the car). However, I do have problems scraping on many speed bumps and when I finally get coilovers (much later on) I will probably only drop the car b/t an 1"-1.25". The Sportlines drop my car ~1.75-2". I have also had people tell me lately that the Sportlines aren't that good, and the GR2 are a waste of money. I'd go w/RSR or Prokit springs and either Tokicos or AGX's.

That's it. RSR is linear and Prokit is progressive as far as I know. AGX is cheaper I guess, so Prokit and AGX should be Alastaplat's best bet then.

I fixed it.. try again.

Sounds good and the Prokit is only about 1.25" drop too.

Okay it works.
