#13422, "Working on the suspension and handling..."




          

After the turbo goes on next month I'm planning on working on my handling after this winter and was wondering how much I would be looking at for these...

New shocks

17x7 Enkei CDR9's (About $800 I believe)

Coilovers

Camber Kit

Does anybody have any brands for shocks, coilovers, and camber kits that they are happy with? I want to buy quality products but I don't want to be in debt forever. Thanks guys.

i would do some research.. there is a site that has feedback on dsm mods... and there are a lot of suspension feedbacks there.. i dun have the link tho... search google for "dsm review" or sumthin like that....

i think u first have to decide on how low u wanna be first, then that will narrow your possibilities for springs... then after that, werk on the struts that are compatible w/the springs...

good luck... best advice i have for u is to click here and there, and read about other's experiences..

for writeups if u wanna do it yourself, check the main page, or www.vfaq.com on vfaq, there is a writeup for installing coilovers, and on the main page, there is Corbin's writeup w/all torque specs for struts/springs install...

and get a camer kit, and an alignment after every suspension mod....

i farted on your wiki

well you have two choices you can get full coilovers between 1000-1800 or sleeve style coilovers for about 100-300 dollars then you have to buy shocks for about 200-600 a set. and for the camber kit you might not need one if you dont' drop it that low but if you change your all the time then it would point less to get one. check out ebay once you decide on which you would do.i bought maxspeed coilovers for 150 on ebay and a set of kyb gr2 for 200 a set.
