#25490, "Yet ANOTHER question on coilovers, loooky here!"


          

Okay, this may be a fucked up idea, but hell, why not get some more opinions.

I thought of 2 agenda's here on coilovers, you tell me what think please....

A) Buy and nice set of skunk2 coilovers and set the AGX setting on real low like front to 1-2 and rear on 1-3 so then I would have a stuff set of coilovers on a soft setting on the struts. That 'should' adequate to a decent ride.

B) Buy some cheap shit off of ebay like some BOMZ or AEROSPEED coilovers for like 75-100 bucks. This would obviously be real bouncy springs included probably. BUT I could set the agx's to front 3-4 and rear to 7-8 on the stiff settings and that 'should' adequate to the same ride as the skunks, hopefully decent.

Whats your thoughts on my thoughts, lol?

I got the whole ebay coilover idea from my neighbor, just thought i would throw it in there for some opinions and comments.

GRACIAS!
Mike

shitty and/or bouncy springs will be shitty and/or bouncy no matter what struts you put on.

Skunk2's are the way to go with coils, but for that combo i would jus save up another hundred or so and get the basic Tein's...they will be better then any coil/strut combo out there.

so... sell them, or deal with it, seriously everyone should ONLY buy teins. all other setups are not worth it, IMO.

BUT if you dont want a bouncy ride get maxspeed coilovers they will shake your nuts to pieces. its a super stiff ride.

From the reseach I've gathered, the Tein's will give you a good ride and good handling, but a ground control/koni setup will out perform the Teins... though it might not right as smooth.

no it wont, teins are far better than a koni/ground control seteup.
and the teins are cheaper. its like 750 for koni/gc and 690 for teins. plus you need to assemble the koni/gc setup where tein is all ready to mount

So, the GSX will bolt in right? The only difference is a stiffer spring due to the increased weight of the GSX?
