Okay, I'm planning on doing suspension next. I decided on Eibach Sportline Springs since all the feedback is positive. All the others seem good too but there's always at least one person that doesn't like them. So Eibach Sportlines for the springs and there's not many choices for struts/shocks. Koni, KYB, and Monroe seem to be the only choices so I'm going with KYB GR-2 Struts/Shocks. Since Monroe only sells struts and Koni only sells shocks, I figure I get the KYBs that come with both. What do you guys think about this combination? How many fingers space will there be between the tires and the car?
I also want to improve the handling on the Celi and this is where I need help. I'm thinking of getting the J-speed strut braces for the front and rear. But in the picture of the parts database, the rear looks like it was made for the hatchback only. would the rear fit my coupe? if not then im going to get the trd front strut brace and not have a rear brace. i will also be getting j-speed side tower braces Now I just want to know about the Cusco Lower Arm Bar and the JIC Magic Type 1 Lower Frame Brace. Can you have both of these on the car at the same time or will one interfere with the other? I don't know too much about these braces or anything with suspension, period. Thanks in advance guys. EDIT: Are there any other parts not posted in the database that'll improve suspension/handling? This post has been edited by JoKeRkId613: Nov 8, 2005 - 3:08 PM -------------------- ![]() |
