I am looking (window shopping, from a linux box no less.. *ponder*) into saving up for some suspension. I have heard mixed reviews on Tien Coilovers ( http://www.optionimports.com/zzt231flta2.html ) and in fact coilovers in general.. Admitedly I do not know much about suspension at all so I am kind of just looking into what all it would take / how long / how much..
What kind of suspension do yall have? How happy are you with it? I really have 2 goals with getting some suspension: 1: Naturally most important is preformance. Reliability and low maintnence are a plus. I have noticed a bit of a sloppy feeling cornering at 40 - 50... I want to say body roll but I dont know if thats the right term, almost feels like kind of a pivot. I hate it. 2: Because as we all know the Celi is a hot hothothot ride, looks matter.. I was thinking here my goal is to drop my ride about an inch and get some 7th gen 16" rims. Would that fly? Anything to consider here? Any / all feedback, comments etc welcome and encouraged. Is there anything else I should be considering in the equation for getting suspension? Thanks. -Jimi |

God I love this site. Thanks for the input.
After talking to one of my homeboys who is into turbo bricks, he came up with this: http://uranian.geekgalaxy.com/celly.pdf Let me know what yall think about that. VS the Tien coilovers it is almost the same price with a lot more. I will again admit that I am a computer geek, a DJ, and a few other things but cars are a pretty new interest of mine. Anyway, if you all have a bit glance at that and get at me with thoughts / comments / flames / whatever. EZ -Jimi |
