5287, Need some suspension!
Posted by Tomcat, Dec-26-01 10:29 AM
I need some technical advice on which way to go for suspension
Coilovers sound like their all you need, but I don't want to go to an alignment shop everytime I change my ride height. I definately want it to be adjustable, so plain springs are out. I also wan't a good ride thats not to soft, yet not to stiff. What about coilovers and adj. shocks??? They seem to be a good combo, but what about convenience. Can I pull over and adjust the dials on the struts to go up or down for rough streets??

Umm, I'll try and clear up some confusion for ya. Adjustable shocks won't adjust your ride height... they only adjust stiffness which is good for racing or hard driving.
Coilovers are pretty good in deciding what ride height you wanna use for a while... but you can't change the height by pulling over when you see a rough street. You gotta jack up the car to adjust the coilovers.
As for going to the alignment shop... I haven't been there once since I got my coilovers 8 months ago. I haven't noticed any usual tread wear, but then again, I'm on stock tires and I don't do much freeway traveling...

Yea... it's got a custom VTEC in there...
Actually, the guy I bought the bumper from already had all these stickers on there... I'm not normally a tacky person myself going around and slapping stickers on my car but I figured what the heck, I'll leave them on there until I get tired of them.
