What would be a good suspension setup for the street for less than $1000? I'd like it to be fairly stiff, as i mihgt do a little autocross eventually, but not too ridiculously stiff or expensive. I'm open to coilovers or separate springs and struts. Thanks!

 

Tein makes a basice setup for less than $1000. You can also do KYB AGX and Eibach springs for ~$650.

would the teins ahve better performance? $350 difference is a lot to me, so it ahs to be worht something.

 

Honestly, I have the AGX/Eibach combo and love it. That $350 can be a set of Falken Azenis Sports mounted and balanced.

I have heard someone complain about the wimpy nature of the Tein type flex coilovers, and the basis Tein setup is a level or two below the type Flex.

I hate to say that a product is not worth the money without having tried it personally, but my guess is that I'm not missing out on anything with my setup.

wimpy? not in the least. it's just softer for more daily driving than their other hardcore setups.

the KYB AGX + name-your-spring (Whiteline, Eibach, Cusco, etc.) is a great bang-for-the-buck setup, and gives you some left over cash for whatever (e.g. stock VLSD, or RUCA, or tension rods and hard tie rods, front camber plates, etc.). the only advantage of the Tein Basic would be some height adjustability (correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think the Basics come with upper front camber plates), which is nice, but if it's mostly street-driven with some autoX on the side, you're probably not gonna bother corner-weighting it, so a good drop spring should be fine (just don't go more than 2" drop because then you need rear camber correction and probably up front too).

 

i'll probably end up with the kyb and spring combo then. the price is right, and it sounds like the performance should be for my purposes as well. that extra money can go into an LSD or something

 

yeah, it's a good way to go, especially if the savings can get you a VLSD. open diff = crap (from firsthand experience )

 

not the easiest but the best route for your budget = koni yellow + ground control coilovers. best bang for the buck!

 

Im getting a great hook up..Im getting Teins HA BRAND NEW for under a grand. Thats a good set up And im getting sum tie rods..Should be getting here early this week

 

nice.

 

tell me if they're the real thing and if they come with camber plates and pillow ball mounts when u get them. TELL MW WHERE U GOT THEM FROM.

 

im ganna go and get them this weekend hopefully. I still need to gather a little more money and im all set. And im 99% sure they come with the camber plate and pillow ball mounts, its the full coilover set up. I got a hook up and i got it from a local performance shop.
