What suspension system?

[IronAccord]

My current set up is Neuspeed/Koni STR.T with Eibach SportLine. I liked the first 3 months of having the setup. Now the ride is super stiff and I am looking to get new setup but I cant decide what to get. Koni & Ground control combo or Tein Street Basis Coilovers or D2 Full Coilover Systems . What do you guys recommend?

form and functions coilovers are another choice. Go online and read product reviews.

True form and function is a good option.

D2 is shit. The rest is good.
Eibach is known for having pretty high spring rates. STR.T aren't really made for anything more than a mild drop and spring rate (though they are the best of the "affordable" shocks)

If you don't want to spend a lot of money, either replace your springs with something softer, like Neuspeed Sport, H&R Sport, or Tein S Tech. Or replace the shocks with something better suited to your springs, like Koni Yellows.

Full coilovers won't necessarily provide a better ride... and if you don't know how to properly set them up, the ride may never be to your liking. The less adjustability, the better, to be honest. Leave the adjustments to the engineers that know what they're doing.

I think I going to stick with yellows/sportline even though I wanted to have control over ride height. I think is going to be convenient for me since this car is my daily driver.

Tein S tech FTW! I know many people with S techs and have heard nothing but good and have had nothing but good experiences in their cars.

I run D2 coilovers on my car because they were on it when I bought the car. My next set will be Function/Form will custom spring rates.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with the suspension setup?

Im loving my H&R sport cup kit. H&R springs, custom valved Koni Yellers, installed with factory settings besides spring perch height.

Adjustable ride height sounds cool, but honestly... if you don't really have the knowhow or tools to properly do it, you'll never get the full benefit of it. Plus, every time you change your height, you really SHOULD get an alignment. Even with a free lifetime alignment dead at a place like Firestone, it's still a royal pain in the ass! Then you get lazy, and camber/toe ends up tearing up your tires. Most people that get adjustable coilovers end up not adjusting them more than a few times in the very beginning anyway... so ultimately, it ends up being about the same!

Is that the setup with the silver-painted Konis? I'm dying to try that!

Deev...we should get a guide going for threads like this.
Have members post drop and wheel specs with side shots.
These threads are like asking which Condom is better...

[deevergote]

We do have a suspension thread floating around somewhere. Once it reaches a certain amount of posts, people just don't bother looking through it anymore.

I was just on it. I'm looking for shocks that match better with my spring rate.


OP if you're asking what you should get what do you plan on doing with the car?

[deevergote]

Which thread? The "sticky" by mndude07 that tells detailed info about various common components (a great thread), or the "what suspension do you have?" thread, where people just list what crap they've pieced together?

And that's true... the OP's intentions are very important! He said DD, so he likely doesn't need anything fancy. His current springs and Koni Yellows will be sufficient for DD duty, and they'd even work well enough for light track duty.

Maybe we should start another one. Stickieit and then lock it.

Then it'll NEVER get seen! Nobody reads sticky threads.
