Ok on my gst spyder im trying to decide what kind of suspension set up to run. And would like you guys thoughts. I previously had KYB non-adjust and the Eibach pro kit for spyders it handled nicely but i thought it rode kinda harsh and also i was not that happy with the drop it gave me even with my 225/40/18s. Is there a softer strut to run and would Ground Control be a nice spring setup to get me a hair lower. Im not doing any racing i just want a nice handling smooth as possible but wanna sit right on top of my 18s. I still had like a 2inch gap before.

I would suggest ground control with tokico illumina shocks. I'm running then on 18 in konig imagines with 225/40/18... It's a nice drop, and rides nicely for a lowered car... just my two cents

Im not sure what type of coilovers i have, cause the previous owner put them in, but they are stiff, and the stiffness helps my acceleration a hell of a lot, I MEAN A LOT. My 0-60 is like 4.5s :smile: , and i have a gs that is lightly modded.
And if anyone knows how i can figure out what type of coilovers i have, that would be sweet.

If they're not a no name ebay coilover, you should be able to read the name on them, or tell by the color? yellow-aerospeed, red=ground control or dropzone etc. If you know your coilovers you'll probably be able to tell. Try the suspension forum. Someone in there is bound to know

hahahahah.... oops major typo, i wish it was 4.5 :grinno: . Sorry guys. I meant 6.5sec. And that was still figured out with a stopwatch, but i ran it about 5-6 times with all of them around 6.5sec give or take a couple of tenths of a sec. Sorry again.
