Hey can anyone help me. I'm looking to upgrage my stock suspension and I'm at a bit of a crossroads.
I'm not looking for high performance or it to be dropped really low I'm looking more for a comfortable ride and good handling. The roads are quite bumpy over here and its getting very frustrating. I was thinking of going for new shocks and springs as I here coilovers are a bit harsh. I was looking at kyb gr2's and tein s-tech springs. What do you think???? |

always try to use the search button in the top right hand corner before posting anything. I believe there is quite a few posts about shocks and springs but not sure haven't looked myself. but anways from what i've heard tiens s tech springs can be pretty darn stiff. I personally have tanabe df210 and i think they are really nice becuase anything more stiff for me would be uncomfortable and they have a nice drop.
2.2 inch in front and 1.5 in rear. If you can look up the different types of springs rates. compare different ones to others. I believe spring rating is measured in kg. but not quite sure. always try to use the search button in the top right hand corner before posting anything.
