Default help with good coilover susp

Fit like?

I'm lookin' for a real good set of coilovers for my 90 LX 5.0. I use it as a daily driver to get me to and fromwork, down the boozer and up to the slopes. Ido howeveruse iton the track fairly oftenwhen ever theopportunity presents its selfany ideas on a good brand and model lads?

Thanks very much!

coilovers make LOTS of noise, and you can get a better ride from OEM style equipment

preferable MM or hotchkis... 4 bolt camber caster plates are a must with coilovers.... but id prefer not to sacrifice my ride comfort and stick to OEM style shocks and struts with a nice set of springs.

Besides... look at how many people bitch about the weird noises their coilovers make!

Right sweet, but i'm not really bothered about squeeks klunks and rattles (unless there comin from the engine bay! lol) so coilovers might actuly be the way to go. Also what about sway bars, tie rods, upper/lower control arms and camber adjustment? obviously when it goes lower the camber will be knocked out of whack.

Really appreciate the help! I'm fairly layin' it on yahere chaps.. soz!

it would help to see what the hell your doing..because what you said the car is for and what your looking at isn't going to work well...if your looking for something to handle better then some 17 rims,poly bushings,larger sway bars,adjustable shocks,poly bushing..you can go futher into it
