#7875, "Coilovers"


          

I'm just now finally getting into my suspension setup. Right now I'm looking for a good set of coilovers that will work good with my stock shocks (I know it's a bad idea! blah blah blah! I'm short on cash for the time being :'( but is there anyone out there that is VERY happy with there "Coilovers and Stock Shock setup"? I just want to have the ajustiblity (for the track emoji)and a decent set of coilovers that will fit well and ride ok.

I have some OBX coilovers sitting in my garage. I ran them on stock shocks for 2 years and was very happy. I upgraded to springs since I wasn't adjusting them and figured I was investing in nice $$struts I should invest in some nice springs. Sorry, no pix, but I have all parts. Email me if interested with offer.

You know it's funny I was just thinking about this while driving today. I would be VERY happy with my skunk2 coilovers if roads were perfect. With KYB GR-2 shocks (not a performance shock) the ride is very flat and stiff. When I hit a big bump in the freeway, it goes up and back down, and then up a little and back down at most one extra time. So it basically doesn't bounce at all. I think this is a great setup, except the spring rates are a bit stiff for the street (about 550 in front, 450 in rear).
