Hey guys,

I'm currently rolling in a car that yes, was slightly modified by its previous owner ....and while he did a good job on most stuff, he used APC coilovers to lower the car, and I believe they may even be stock struts/shocks inside the sleeves. Anyhow, he also neglected to give me the wrenches to raise the car up, so I'm deffinately just wanting to get rid of them. I'm thinking about some of the dropzone spring/shock combo things, or perhaps a set of Tein springs with kyb or konis. Anyhow, my question is if anyone has a picture of a hatchback that has been lowered on springs instead of coilovers - that also has a B series motor in it. I'm thinking the coilovers are the only way to ensure that I don't look like like I'm about to nose dive into the asphault at any second, so I may have no choice but to go with "true coilovers" ........

Anyhow, just curious to see if the b series up front is going to make it sit a *lot* (noticably) lower up front than in the rear on a set of "static lowering springs"....as right now, the car is sitting way too low, I can't even fit a coke can under the car and it seems like every bump I sit the car on the ground.

if you have money. get ground control with koni's or KYB's.

If you just want a good suspension, without all the bells and whistles get the tein springs with the kyb's. They are of good quality, and give you better suspension setup than you currently have.


Dropzone coilovers are crap just like your apc coil overs.

All the concerns of your thread will be solved with a good suspension layout.

 

I was looking at the ground control kits that also come with "custom built" shocks. anyone have any epxerience with those. Not the coilovers. I'm not a big fan of coilover sleeves to begin with, so I'm going with either springs or real coilovers, although I don't REALLY want to spend $600-1200 on suspension alone .

I have and have had this setup in my sedan and in my Hatchback. Eibech Sportline sprins and Koni yellows. I have the older ones. And let me tell you the car is stiff as shit but when you hit a bump it's not like those cheap ass coilovers. Don't get any coilovers thats just my opinion. And if you wanna raise your current coils just get a big flat head screw driver and a hammer that will let you bring it up. Umm so yeah goodluck man.
