He's not picking up what you're throwing down.

The cup kit is about $7-800 and has three different height perches and custom valved, adjustable koni yellows.

565 on the bay for the cup kit.. (theyre 1200+ MSRP) about as much as eibach and str.ts..but the konis and h&r springs are matched up ..excellent ride


As far as coil over's and the people on here..over kill..i think 3/4 of the people get the CO's for bragging rights and have no clue of their customizable potential settings other than slamming their shit yo..which is NOT what the CO's are for. Ah well its their money right. You want to drop your jalopy get some ebay sleeves and some dampers that will handle them. You want to whip corners like nothing get the primo stuff. Im kinda of wondering how well the sleeves would do with a quality dampers like some blues or yellows though. Might be a surprising outcome

Well, the majority of the full coilovers available for our cars probably aren't engineered for much more than just slamming your car yo anyway. So many of them are just cheaply made generic designs.

What do you mean "blues"? Tokico? Tokico "blues" are practically stock replacement. They are shit shocks for performance. Even Koni Yellows are bargain basement in terms of performance.


Crap "ebay" sleeves are inconsistent, and poorly made. They won't do well in serious driving. Sleeves like those from Ground Control are arguably better than damn near anything you can get in a "full" coilover (though F&F has finally released the 2.5, which uses Eibach springs, much like Ground Control does.)
Ground Control sleeves, properly set up, paired with Koni Yellows, or better yet, custom-valved Bilsteins... THAT would be a quality setup. Still quite basic compared to true race coilovers, but probably the best we're going to get short of a one-off setup costing thousands.

dont cheap out on suspension. your life is riding on the line

if you just want to be low with no performance goals, then yes cheap coilovers are the way to go. If you are at all interested in how your car handles, though, a quality spring and shock combo will vastly outperform any entry level coilover for the same price.

I got to drive mndude's cb with the neuspeed cup kit before he crashed it and it was the best handling front wheel drive car I've ever driven.

I wish I had got to drive his too before that lol. Anyhow I do believe he and I had the same setup on my sedan. And I now have a 2nd setup on my blue coupe that I have. Rides great and is low enough to where I like it. As for my white CB it is on KYB struts and Goldline race springs and those ride like stock but just sit a tad lower and it's great!!!

You got some Momo Arrows on there? Hella oldschool, thats tight.

Thanks Man. I wish I never sold that car. But I got into a 97 only to wrap it around a Pole 1 month later.

I got rid of the Arrows a few years later after I got tiered of filling the tires up with Air every morning becasue the wheels where so OLD. Wish they made them still..Love the that look. Its hard to fine a nice wheel for our Cars in a 4 lug. Found some nice ones Finaly and just ordered them yesterday cant wait to throw them on and put in the H&R's.

Pics to come soon..
