KYB GR2 Shocks and B&G Springs Way to soft.

[Clied]

Is anyone else besides me running this combo? Or at least using one of the parts in the title? I have this setup on my car right now and it's not that fun. I still have lots of body roll and the spring/shocks are not stiff enough to support the car on hard to kind of hard turns. I can hear my tire hitting the inner fender well when I corner like that. I enentually going to get some coil overs, I'm sick of this CRAP!. But I want to know what others think.

PS: I do like the drop on the B&G springs though.

welllllllllll


It sways when you turn. I'm assuming your running stock sway bars, right?

There's your first problem.

Your running lowering springs with stock replacement shocks

Thats your second problem

Hate to say it......But CK is right.


I don't hate it that much.:icon_razz

Yea I have stock sway bars I'll upgrade to ST sways.

As for coilovers, can anyone give me some feedback on the Tein RA's. I never hear any one mention them. I do DD my supra but I plan on doing some roadracing now and then. So would this be a good setup?

Also how do the D2 coilovers compare or any others that you may want to suggest?

PS: I really don't mind how harsh and stiff the ride will be, all I care about is performance.:icon_bigg

 

[lilazni3uoy]

all narrows down to what spring rate you want on it, and what you think will be comfortable for you., you say you don't mind how harsh the stiffness will be but, later on you will, thats what i said when i got my tein ss, it was a bit to harsh for me, now it's just irritating.

Your car hurts me when you drive.

Tein FLEX FTW

HKS Hypermax FTW

Cusco coilovers FTW

lol i donno im retarded

 

[tekdeus]

My Tein SS are quite stiff, but the hanlding is incredible even with stock swaybars. I won my local Autocross on just these and street tires.

Bilstiens + Eibachs would suit your needs.

H&R's and koni's here......I think I have a hemorrhoid now.

Absolutly.

Adjustable ride height, and a well matched pair for a lot cheaper then you can buy coilovers for.

I NEVER EVER recomend H&R.

I NEVER EVER recomend H&R.

Can you explain why???

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Don't like Eibach.
Too much goddamn sag.

Sag? How so? I never noticed any sagging problems.

Slams the car. Not only does it kill wheel travel, you also have clearence problems. Plus IMHO it doesn't look good..

 

[mkIIIman089]

I thought Tein RA were discontinued...

Yeah I'm having second thoughts about them now, but I like the stance. But I could have got megan racing coilovers for the same price...

 

[Poodles]

whiteline adjustable swaybars + KYBs + stock springs = holy shit batman this handles!!

935Motorsports Carries them. I saw it on their site.

I'll have to find a pic but the coils were touching each other when the car was lowered.
That does you absolutely no good.
