Default suspension setup

i think im going to go for ground control coilovers and tokico illum. adj.

i dont know if i would ever need to adj the shocks but then again.. i dont know much about it.

since i own a db.. i want to drop the front a bit lower than the back b/c the wheel gap in the front is so much more than the back. weird

comments are welcome.. help me

i have my front lower than my back on purpose...if done correctly, it CAN help your suspension geometry...theres a technical reason why, but i dont want to sound like a super technician/expert when i'm not. it has something to do with weight tranfer, corner weighting and balance. that, and it looks better in my opinion.

Trust me, you're gonna adjust them. illuminas are good shocks too, but on the stiff side. if you're gonna go gc and illumina's, id just go for the illumina coilover setup instead, since its about the same price. the springs rates and stroke length are optimized with the combo.

Ya, someone said before that there tokico's broke cuz they couldn't handle the lowering. kyb agx's made skelly's ride more than delightful .

Also, I can see how having the front lower than the back could help suspension geometry because the front weighs more and that would I think get the front of the car around a corner easier since the front would be less giving to chassis roll. Does that make sense, I think it does.
