I would run stock suspension on any car I drive in NY and have a track/fun car on the side...

Aftermarket coilover suspension just isn't designed for or will last as long driving on crappy roads... And it isn't fun so what's the point?...

Springs or the whole assembly? They're out of S13 tophats right now (waiting for mine right now ) but told me they should be shipping by the end of the week. PM me a way to contact you off board if you need some.

im running apexi coils, and i wouldnt ever go back to a lowering spring setup. but then again i wouldnt settle for D2's. but then again you get what you pay for. my buddy had D2's and they are shitty. and your right there service sucks ass. just save up and get some good ones so you save money in the long run

Love my Stance, and only cost just a little over 1k. That was for the GR+ Pro's.

hellion240sx

RUTH'LESSDET

I don't agree with everyone saying the D2's are trash, but they are definitely not the greatest either. I have them on my car and they are incredibly stiff, even on the softest setting, but they definitely are a blast to drive on. Customer service also isn't the greatest but if you contact hopup racing they will give you a number that got a pretty fast response for me.


Any set of coils you get at this price will have their flaws.

I guess tahts cool for drifting.

But still springs = shit grip handling imho.

I like the car to be somewhat nuetral not twitchy at all.

But i guess for drifting you want twitchy and rough.

I like softer spring rates with good quality dampers if I have the choice.

Bracing the car and tire compound changes will yeild a more predictable driver friendly handling characteristic.

well I'm think if you set if to the softest setting then you should be ok. thats my guess.

RUTH'LESSDET

This is what i was told Bc racing makes the coilovers for megan,greddy some Hks coils and a few other companys in japan.

And D2 makes ksports and I think dmax and most likely even more.

It's all about who has the most money for the best part just because it's says made in japan in most cases it's really not thats the way it is now

It seems like the OP has made up his mind, and Prefers to Buy shit, over quality parts.

Check that for some insight on Ksport Vs Koni/GC

I can sum it up for you though.

Koni/Gc are better.

might as well just put some lub in your seat, cause your car is going to rape you in ways you've never imagine with those spring rates

Yeah I have MAX coilovers and they deffinatly aren't too friendly for daily driving.

hellion240sx

you mean that in a good way right? lol.


awww come on RUTH'LESSDET you can do eeett! don't be skerd.


hey pink arrow what are your setting?

aznpoopy

only locals know what nyc is really like
i wouldn't drive my car into NYC ever

nismo coilovers are quality. ride quality is amazing, even over bumpy ass nj/ny roads. problem is they don't let you go all that low. they might be a good choice for you, because you won't be able to go that low anyway.

i suggest staying stock and getting that 5spd done instead

ixfxi

i dont understand why there is so much discussion over COILOVER vs SHOCK/SPRING combo.. it comes down to only a few things:

1) You want the adjustability in ride height, or you dont
2) You want the adjustability in stiffness, or you dont

For me, I *rarely* need to every adjust the ride height OR stiffness. The nice thing about coilovers, is that you CAN.. should you need or desire to.

However, I would think its a LOT more important to buy a well-engineered product, than it is to buy one that is shitty and fully adjustable. So regardless of what you buy, make sure its good quality. The last thing you want to do is drive on shitty quality suspension components.

One of my cars has Tein shocks/springs, they're so-so - dont like it too much. My other car had Tokico shocks w/ lowering springs, I loved it.. even when driven through downtown LA roads. Now, that car has Whiteline coilovers, and I like those a lot too.

pinkarrowsnow

Im running all the way soft on all four corners cause thats what dan from MAX said for daily driving because of how stiff they are, hopefully I can try them on some different settings though soon. But yeah for everyday driving just use them on the softest setting.

inertiaticism

I'm pretty happy with my Koni Yellows, but I want to go MUCH lower than GC sleeves would allow me to and I'm not going to front about it and say that I want something else for another reason.
I might just see about getting my Konis revalved/shortened and running shorter free length springs on GCs because I'm quite happy with the way it drives as is.

However, I don't think that Konis/GCs are as awesome of a setup as some do.
Limited adjustability, sleeve/damper construction, and the price is steep for what you get.
You're in the same pricepoint at cheap coilovers for just the sleeves and dampers but if you end up having them revalved or buying more than one set of springs you could get some very nice stuff for the same price.
I only have mine because I got a good deal on them used.

Iceman00

I'm running GC coils (350lb F/400lb R) with Tockio HP blues. Rebound could be better, and it is stiff, but it works well, and provides a really good ride.

Ok the tanabe suspension i rode in this week in an s13 was one of these if im not mistaken the ride was ok stiff but not too bad. The guy that im going to order my coilovers from, Daily drives his s13 with these coils says that the d2 are better.

Come on a coilover dyno!!!! im not a machine thats not too helpful for me at this point. Post up a dyno of stance, d2, tein (what ever), tanabe, vs koni/gc that would be better.

I live in the "armpit" of the south, Memphis, TN...where the city doesn't spend any money on roads or transportation, but rather on illigitimate pension plans and keeping crooked politicians and law enforcement officials on the payroll. (Im not lying).

Needless to say, the roads suck ASS. More than a handful of backroads in my area arn't even paved. Coilovers are not that bad people...I mean c'mon, are you guys 80 years old or something? I used to drive a little Integra around with 12k front, 10k rear coilovers, and it wasn't that bad.
