Coilovers, don't know what to get.

[stevievano2lk]

I wanted to drop my car within the next few weeks, and I am still not sure about what type of coilovers or springs to get. I was leaning towards coilovers so I could have control on how low I want my car to sit. I'm going to get the kyb agx shocks, but I need help choosing the rest, I'd appreciate any input.

hope much of a drop do u want?? i was just reading my warranty paperwork on my agx's (was bored ) and it says that warranty will be void if u drop your car for than 1.5 inches (eiback prokit drop). the reason being is the shock/strut is not short stroke...its long, meaning its a direct replacement for stock suspension and it is not meant to be modified

so since yer getting coilovers i think u obiviously wanna go a lil lower than 1.5 inches (actually eibach is like 1.3), so i just wanted to let u kno that the agx's arnt gonna last quite as long as u might expect

thats being said...i say go with ground controls, quite a few members on here have them and say they are nice...

if u feel like investing a liitle more money, get the tein basic damper system, it is a true coilover set up (not sleeve and spring seperate from shock)....this will run u around 700-750), but when u think about it, 350-450 for gc's, and 300-375 for agx's...yer right @ the price for TRUE coilover that is shortstroke and meant to be lowerd....

ok that is all

well i wanted about a 2 inch drop in the front and back but, it does make sense just to get a true coilover package, being that in the end the price is roughly the same, and I'm getting a better deal, thankx a lot for your advice

Oh, where would I be able to get the tein setup?

yo 8ggalant, thanks for the link. I spent my whole day off yesterday trying to find the tein setup, or something close to it. No dice, but I did stumble upon some forums here that said that 3g eclipses share the same suspension as our 8g galants, if that's so, couldn't I just get the tein setup for a 3g eclipse? Thanks again for the link.

yea tein doesn't make the basic or the SS dampers for the galant. although the 3g eclipse and the 8g galant don't have the same suspension, they are similar enough where you can use the 3g eclipse suspension parts in the galant.
