15674, Springs or Struts.............? Posted by BigBald, Feb-13-03 04:04 AM
Which one is more repsonsible for the stiffer ride. I just put some 18s on my car yet i fell my ride is not stiff enough. At high speeds i would like to know my car is safe, but i don't get that feeling with this setup. I have dropzone springs and kyb gr2 struts. I am pesronally thinking it is the springs because on my last car I had arospeed springs with AGX struts and the ride was perfect. I am trying to achieve that success with this car. MY first instinct is to replace the springs with either H&R race springs or eibach sportlines. Before i do this i would like to know which part is more so responsible for the stiffening of the ride. I get the idea the most will say they both are but funds prevent me from buying new springs and struts at this moment. Thanks in advance........

Yes, they both are responsilbe, but if you can only replace one thing, replace the struts.
GR2's are not performance struts. If you have the money I would just get some adjustables... If not then just get the Blues (tockico).
On a side note: I haven't heard to many good things about Dropzone springs either.

Ah I see.........Are the blues any good? I heard the konis were the best to get. But at $136 a piece leaves alittle dent in the wallet.

The Illuminas can be had for around $400 dollars. Konis are suppose be the top of the line but the price is a little outrageous, imo also.
Tokico Blues are the non-adjustables. I was suggesting that if you could not afford ajustables, then Tockico Blues would probably be better than GR2's.

I don't like coilovers. I will check on the group buys. I may just save alittle more and get the konis or illuminas. My car is between 2-2.25" so AGX wouldn't be recommended right?I just heard you can use them for up to a 1.5" drop.
