[240driftin[Sil80]]

dont go ebay, you want to be safe right? it is your suspension...go with at least a decent set of shocks/springs combo. you can find them decently priced new or used. just be patient when upgrading your suspension.

They will be very stiff compared to stock springs. They might be the best springs ever actually...

only problem is you'd put them on stock struts which don't have enough damping, so whenever you hit a bump or upset the car in anyway, it would bounce.

Now what that bounce would mean is every time the car rocked, the end of the car that is moving up would have less grip.

This happens in a turn, and you are now out of control.

Spend the money, it's the only way your car will actually handle well. You have to upgrade shocks as well as springs, otherwise you're better off stock.

coilovers FTW

don't buy ebay stuff it will probally break and your car will get messed up

You have a lot of learning to do. You're going to end up wrecking your 240 and then you'll be broke AND without a car. Do not go touge dorifuto!!!111oneoneonen if you have no money.

If you don't have money now, don't spend it on some cheap junk that you'll end up replacing when you have money. Critical parts like suspension are not the parts which you should be trying to cut corners on (not that you really should try to cut corners anyway).

Stiff springs will give you a stiffer ride but your stock shocks will probably blow because of them.

I won't even get into why "0 body roll" is a terrible idea as you have a lot of learning to do just to get to that level.

Blown shocks are horrifying on the freeway. I'm talking airborne rear wheels when you hit a bump. Don't kill yourself by cheaping out.

"Do not go touge dorifuto!!!111oneoneonen if you have no money." and wat exactly do you mean by that i dont understand. i touge. thats mostly wat i do. rarely drift

[Jgrand03]

why do people always have to be cheap fucks save your money dude if you cant invest in a decent set of struts and springs or cheap coilovers cars arent for you

[Slammed Assassin]

i agree with eveyone ^ .. just wait a liltle longer and save up for coilovers..theres many out there, tien basics, megans, k-sport, ect..their cheap but are pretty good..if ur gonna do something do it right..or your gonna spend more money on repairs..

I'm not picking on you, so don't jump to that conclusion, but frankly this is a stupid thread.

Do your own research and decide what's best for you.

You get what you pay for.
