well why upgrade later, just a waste of money, which kind would you upgrade to.

Flex, probably.

[racerh03]

how much are they?

[R.W.240]

For under 1600$ id have to recomend a set of Adjustible Konis and Some Springs (tanabe, RS*R, Eibach, Tein, Kg/mm) because for under 1800 your not really getting anything that Racing Coilovers are intended to do - race. Tein Coils are under dampened and Rust Easily (Steel versions), JICs are absolute shit, and none really offer double adjustabilty for preload or inverted struts.

If you want coilovers, GAB, Zeal, Cusco, Aragosta, Tein(RS/RE/RA), Sard, Buddy Club(often confused with crappy body kits) all offer excellent Coils in varying levels of preformance. but for the street id say stick to shocks and springs

Now that thats out of my system what happened to saving for an SR Swap? altough nothing would be cooler than another slamed 240

[ImPLiCiTS14]

umm russell i asked about springs not your dream suspension that you know i dont have the money for..

[manji240]

sr is on the way beeaaach!!

[R.W.240]

yeah i know but everyone skewed off into coilovers

my suggestion of Koni Shocks and whatever springs you want... Eibachs seem to be well liked.

As for JICs i havent heard one good thing about them. ive seen a shock dyno to where the Dampening Adjustment barely changed and was completely random as in 1-5-3-7-2 from Stiff to Light, Then aparently the FLT-A2's RS version claimed to have custom (customer chosen) spring rates and valved to match the new rates. but are rarely shipped with the requested Rates. and JIC USA (Zeil?) doesnt have a shock dyno so the shocks have to be shipped back to japan to be Revalved. then last but not least ive heard that their customer service Blows.
Also Ive only seen a Few Cars with JIC coils on them all of them Factory sponsored Drifters or have hed them Revalved by RRE (Evos).

all of that is second hand from many people (one had a friend at Koni that dynoed the Shocks for him) but with everything ive heard about them i wouldnt ever buy a set.

Sell your old ones when you upgrade, ebay is your best friend.

[Sil-fortySX]

Even if I sell my old ones, I won't get the value that I spent on them in the first place...I would save more money if I just do it right the first time.
