drop springs / coil over discussion

sorry, i didn't mean to jack your thread. on the contorary, i was applauding this thread, as you originally intended "it's to help those of us who are looking for the next suspension setup" And, I am doing just that.

I was joking. Feel free to ask what you want! Thats what it is for.

I have the h & r "racing" springs which is something like a 3 inch drop and i bottom out in front constantly(the rear is fine though). I would suggest not going more than a 2 inch drop...
This is on a 17" rim with tires that bring it to almost exactly stock size overall. For shocks I run the tokico illumina adjustables and they are pretty sweet.
I have the ingalls front and rear camber kit and it badly needs to be adjusted.
now I need to figure out some way to raise up my front...
Overall its a good setup just remember what jet said about weight reduction, it can acctually make quite a difference.

Yep, the H&R race kit is for 2g's only, the 1g's are their street kit. The drop is 1-1.25".

DSS coilovers ride very rough. I had those and AGX's on my 93 and it was a harsh ride. Def a nice setup for drag though as the car was firmly planted. If you want a good ride the best way to go is w/ a full coilover setup. Idk if your willing to spend that kind of $$ or not though but TEIN offers their SS's w/ upper pillows for the 1G's. They as well has the S-Tech springs for the 1G AWD which ride very nice @ a decent cost as well. All these sleeve and collar type coil over kits available do not ride very well @ all and about cost as much as a set of decent full coil over kits. Spending $$ on good susp is something you will not regret.

Which springs did you get with it?? Like I have said several times now, you can get any spring rate you want! When I talked to DSS they had several different springs on hand and could get you anything from a roadrace setup, to a nice street setup. BTW, most of the DSS coilovers are Tein parts.
