suspension

[boynton4]

Hey i'm investing some money into suspension. I was thinking about getting Koni sport struts, and eibach springs. but for the same price i could get the Tein basic damper coilovers. which do you think would be better, and handle better???

tein would

true coilovers > matching springs/shocks

Damn chill man, he asked for opinions, I gave him MY opinion....TEIN is your choice, good, move on!

yes it is my opinion, yet in other threads you have said "koni and GC is the best" which means that you have experienced tein, JIC magic, buddy club, etc. and came to that conclusion, you should add "IMO" at the end of your statement because that would make it true

ok. let's stop arguying. performancewise, shocks and springs that are mated and threaded to each other will outperform mix & match springs/shocks

how much would either option cost? Eibachs and konis or Teins

eibach's and koni's will run you about 700 or so, and the tein basic kit goes for $750, there are other tein kits but that one is the cheapest, if i were looking into getting tein suspension i wouldnt waste my time with the basic kit, i would get something more aggressive, but that is ultimately your decision

koni yellows adjustable monotube struts with eibach springs cost about 650
Tein Basic damper Coilovers 750

eh i am a little of, prices vary, and i would rather spend the 100 on a setup that is proven and is matched to itself rather then trying to mate a pig and elepant.....because we all know "pig and elephant DNA just won't splice".....

I have the skunk2 coils and tokico adjustable struts, i like them a lot, however with any coils that aren't the full coils u get a kinda stiff ride, if u don't mind the stiff ride then this is a way you can go, imo.

the only problem i have with coilover sleeves is that most of the systems are not designed to specifically work with any one particular shock and that causes problems
