Coilovers & Shocks/Struts

DTangent · #1 03-09-2005, 06:15 PM

I'm looking at getting Ground Control coil overs and Tokico Illumina shocks for my 91 CRX Si.

Has anyone had any experience with this setup, and if so, what do you think?

I'm pretty much a newb to hp setups, but I've been helping my dad restore classic cars for years. I'm just now getting into the import scene.

Thanks in advance.

i've had multiple sets of tokico illuminas and i loved them. im looking to get a another set in the next couple of weeks, wouldn't ride with anything less. Cant beat the quality for the price.

If you want to take full advantage of the Ground Controls get Koni Sports. Tokico's are stock length struts which is not good with 1.75" or more of lowering.

what are the price ranges for shocks meant to handle a drop 1.75" or more?

if you really want to get some bad ass coilovers get the ECP coilovers. There new but bad ass. They honestly have a better ride then almost anything out there.

The Koni sports are pretty expensive. All togeather, it's almost the same as a set of Tein Coilovers.

Now the question is which is better? Should I go with GC + Koni sports or spend a little bit more and get Tein?
