Help me choose coilovers for '92
 
Here is a list of things I'd go for:

- Stance GR+
- Buddy Club
- Tein Flex
- JIC FLT-A1 (its double tube though...)

Can we make suggestions or do we have to stick with the list?

UrbanSoot 03-10-2008 05:43 PM

im open to suggestions

koni race shocks from goodwin and ground controls... id take that setup over any coilover setup on the market

please explain why this is better than any other coilover setup?



your list looks a lot like mine, i want to get rid of these KYBs and FM springs once i save up enough cash. currently ive narrowed it down to tein flex or the stance GR+... i like the top hats on the stance's, and a big monotube design is appealing. Emilio is supposed to get the Stance on the dyno soon so hopefully they perform. ill wait for that information before buying...

Ive read too many stories about JIC to even consider them (terrible customer service, blown shocks), regardless of the rave reviews...

UrbanSoot 03-10-2008 06:33 PM

i think ill go with gr+... i have reseller account with them so i have a nice fat discount :)

UrbanSoot 03-10-2008 06:39 PM

fuck... stance is out of them... next deliver is in 3 weeks...

teknikscian 03-10-2008 06:39 PM

what! and youre not sharing the wealth?

i have to second this with the addition of saying in the more affordable sector
there are some nice coilover out there, but for the mony you cant beat the koni/GC set up
reason, they are very readily avaialbe and you can change you spring rates fairly easily. the konis also have a great reputation and last quiet a while
its a very popular choice with most auto-x'ers that i know, not an engineer here so i dont have any technical data
good luck with whatever you end up getting

UrbanSoot 03-10-2008 06:48 PM

how about them flex coilovers, eh? i need to make decision within few hours because im that impatient :)

UrbanSoot 03-10-2008 06:50 PM

by the way... koni race + gc kit is WAY too expensive... it comes to about $1800 w/ top hats and shit like that. might as well try new fm suspension for that $$ :)

UrbanSoot 03-10-2008 07:08 PM

ok... just ordered a set of gr+ for $1,196.85 shipped from http://store.cipmotorsports.com/

teknikscian 03-10-2008 07:11 PM

LOL wishy washy!

RusMan 03-10-2008 11:26 PM

Good choice man

Savington 03-11-2008 12:59 AM

What spring rates?

BTW, you don't need upgraded tophats with the RACE shocks.
