or
tein springs and koni yellows
or
eibach pro kit and koni yellows

please hurry and reply w/ people that have experience

im ordering tonight

 

Ground Control

none of the above..

I would reccomend Ground Control Coilovers.. they are height adjustable, and also give you the ability to change the rate.

Springs never give you the height you want, and you have no ability to change them thereafter.

I run Ground Controls on my 97 SH and 97 ITR and I couldn't be happier.

Also I have Koni Yellows on my ITR and KYB's on the Lude..

The Koni's are a much better shock IMO.. the KYB's only have 4 different adjustment levels, the Konis have a much wider range, and can handle much higher spring rates.

 

Definately koni yellows and ground control coilovers...

 

so koni yellows and ground control coilover?

what ground control coilovers and how much do they run?

 

check the link I posted up above

GC's usually cost~$300

 

yea i also heard gc give you a bumpier ride... i want the smoothest ride for that price range - i really only want like a 1-1.5 inch drop so it doesnt have to be gc, anything that will give me the smoothest ride?

 

what about Tein Type Basic ? are those WORSE then the Ground Control w/ KYB or Koni struts?

 

Aren't the Basic's only height adjustable??

In terms of quality the Tein damper is probobly better.. but the fact it is not dampening adjustable and is somewhat expensive (for what you are getting), I would stay away from it..

 

i just want something that will lower the car a inch or inch in a half and not be a bumpy ass ride...

any opinions?

 

Go with the Eibach and Koni combo. We used it with good results. I currently am still on the Koni shocks but switched to Neuspeed Sport springs only because the Eibachs were not as stiff as I wanted. Some people here will suggest other setups and that is fine-but these really work well and the shocks are serviced by Koni in Hebron, Ky-forever. Yes-I'm biased I only use Koni.
Happy Luding
