Do you think easy adjustible shocks would be the way to go? what kind?
I got a large lump of cash so im not worried about money.
Also im running a s14 sr20 under the hood, sould I worry about front end weight?</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Umm pics please! I want see!
From what I read on this forum yesterday, and I hope its correct, the SR only weighs 50lbs less than the ka. If thats not including extras then the weight of the innercooler, turbo, and piping will make their weights even closer. I'd say you don't want spring rates any different up front whether you have the ka or the sr, but assumeing you get something with height adjustability, you may have to lower the front a tiny (on the collar, not actual height) bit more than if you had the ka in order to have the same actual height.
I think if you have the money, get in on the
Tein group buy. Everything 15% off the price listed on their
Website. Even if the springs and height adjustability aren't any better than GC's (and I think they will be) the dampeners should be worth the extra money. Unfortionately I don't have a set of these myself <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
'> yet but I don't think the type flex or HA would be too harsh for daily driving...they could be adjusted to be too harsh but I think you could keep them at a reasonable height and lighten the dampening and your ride would be bumpy but not too bad. I REALLY hope someone else comes in and gives some advice to...I don't want you to take what I say as fact. My240likenoother has GC coilovers and I think kyb agx shocks, he seems to be pleased with them. Maybe send him a PM if he doesn't respond in this thread? One advantage to kyb agx shocks with GC coilovers (really just eibach springs with custom rates on an adjustable collar) is you can replace things more easily (cheaper) if you blowout a shock humping a curb. I don't think tein's can be replaced individually, so you'd be out 1000+ if you slamed into something with those.
