alrighty guys, I am going to order some suspension things here within a couple of weeks and had a couple of questions to make sure that what I was thinking was on track or not.
Ok I am planning on buying a shock/spring setup, because I have come to the realization that I do not track the car very often, and do not think the 1200+ for coilovers would be justified on a car that is mainly a street car that sees the dragstrip about 3 times a month and hoping to hit up autocross next season a couple of times. So therefore I feel like shock/spring setup should work out fine for me.
That and I REALLY want to get rid of that horrible 4 finger wheel gap. I have a 93 fastback.
I plan on going with RSR springs, but am debating between the 2
Down- Lowers 1.6/1.2 Spring Rate of 3/3. Drops it a little lower, a little softer spring rate, so would probably help with traction off of the line, and would have a nice street ride.
Race- Lowers 1.4/1.2 Spring Rate of 5/4.5. notas low as Down, but still a decent drop, stiffer spring rate would help even more in the handling department, so it would probably be a better autocross spring, would be a little stiffer on the streets, but i figure 5/4.5 probably still isnt bad on the street.
Does anybody have pics with the above setups???
I plan on running KYB AGX's. So far from what I have read on here they should be able to handle either spring fine, but still not sure if i would HAVE to run them full stiff all the time w/ the RACE springs.
I was wondering if I could run camber plates and whatnot, or is that only for coil-over setups?
also I currently am running a set of Gram Lights at 17x7.5 +30 (i know, i know WEAK size blah blah blah) with 225/45 Falken Azenis on there, I shouldnt have any clearance issues should I?
any opinions or suggestions towards suspension or anything above let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Kyle
