why shock/spring combo vs. coil-overs?

99Galant4G64 · 01-17-2010, 08:26 PM

I dont like Coil-overs they bounce over every bump. The only way I know is to change struts and springs.

blue8g · 01-17-2010, 08:26 PM

ummm seriously? c/o's cost more than shocks/springs

You need a buddy. I am located in Levittown haha. You are looking at the wrong coilovers and info if you think they are cheap. I have springs and struts, but I am planning to upgrade to coilovers.

Welcome to TGC we are trying to set up a meet next weekend here is the thread.

You got that all bassackwards man. Spring and shock combos are the "poor mans" suspension when you get into the performance stuff. The spring is just for a drop with a different spring rate maybe, but pairing that with a set of shocks not intended for a drop is only reducing the effectivness of the setup. ure the car looks cool, and probably rides nice...but if you are serious about the suspension like you are the engine build...prepare to be disappointed on many levels of handling performance over a coilover system.

Definitely need to get some pictures up of the project too though

I had coil-overs on my old 2001 Galant They bounced all over I guess things have gotten better. But I'm crazy about suspension and the only way I know is struts springs big bar upgrades and good bushings.

blue8g · 01-17-2010, 08:50 PM

^you're probably thinking about those

v I mean these:

Skunk should rename themselves junk but I love those Tein-SSPs those are what I want to upgrade to I am impressed with the quality of teins springs and imagine the c/os will be much better

99Galant4G64 · 01-17-2010, 08:51 PM

Info is what I need Tell me which way to go. I need the car to handle

**johnygezony** · 01-17-2010, 08:52 PM

there is a guy over on c3g that is selling his Tein SS's for dirt cheap ! also you could look around there for guys selling their OEM strut bars which are a direct bolt on for us, i got mine over there for around 70 total, but you might be able to find something cheaper.

Get some pics up of the car when the rain stops. Pics of the build will come when the motor comes out 2/21 getting tired of staring at parts
