looking for advise

I want to upgrade my suspension, but dont know if I should get some H&R springs for around $220 and some Koni race for around $500+ or go with the skunk2 pro series full coilover for a little less then $700. BTW this is my daily driver and looking to have some fun, I read about auto-x and want to give it a try, also I'm looking for a comfterble ride, as I said, this is my daily driver, yes I know I have to get some good tires. what about sway bars/tower bars??? any suggestions??? thanks in advance!!!

Thanx, nice setup. I was checking on the spring rate on does skunk2 full coilovers and they around 500 f and 400+ r, thats way to stiff for a DD, I'm now checking the Tein type basic that have around 300+ f and 200+ r and are fully adjustable.

If you want quality coilovers, best to stick with PIC and Tein. I wouldn't be interested in spending money on skunk2 or omni.

With that said, I love my PICs. picperformance.com Redirect

You also shouldn't bother with any Teins below the Tein Flex kits. Lower models are not worth the money. However you can get a set of PIC Apex's for around $700.

These are gimmicks. No one actually does these things. Realistically, you change dampening for street and track, thats it. As for changing ride height, that requires an alignment each time you do it. Most people don't want to go through that trouble.

It is nice that you can set the exact ride height you want, and dampening you want. I'm just saying that when it comes to practical use, people set these things and leave them. They don't tinker with them.
