What suspension do you guys have set up?

Suspension is a critical part of a drift car's set up. What do you guys have your cars on? I'm in the market for some coil overs, I'm leaning toward the direction of Tein HEs or Silkroads because of their budget pricing but I'm also considering holding out and buying Kei Office XRs. That would of course mean delaying the purchase of differential and the rest of the suspension (tie rods, tension rods, camber arms, etc).

If you guys can let us know what you have, or had, and how you feel about them, maybe you could lead me into making the best decision.

Re: What suspension do you guys have set up?

i have tein tension rods, and am leaning a little towards the he coilovers -- but it says you can only use +38 or less offset wheels? does that mean you cant use the stock wheels? if so im getting the flex's.

Re: What suspension do you guys have set up?

right mow I have a tannabe full thread coilover setup with tein tension rods and a full jwt bushing kit. I used to have a tein full thread setup but the tannabe is better. Bushings are great. JWT has a great bushing kit.
