Hey All!

Just curious about this, because I am new to modding. Which is better replacing the shocks, struts and springs with something like the TOKICO’s D-Spec Series adjustable shocks and Eibachs springs.

Or is it better to replace everything with a set of coil-over shocks? Like these:

Thanks in advance for any help

Id also like a good description and comparison of coil overs VS lowering + shocks/struts. However, if I decided to go with coilovers (if theyre better) I would definately go with one of the better companys.. like Tein. http://www.tein.com/ti/g12.html

Yeah those Tein's look great! Do you know anyone that has them installed? Where can you pick those up at?

Unfortunately I dont, but everyone I talk to says Tein is a great suspension company... and seeing as they supply suspension for ALOT of race cars Im thinking theyre pretty damn good springs... hell if its good enough for a race car, its good enough for me. And honestly I have no idea who would sell them, ya can probably just order them straight from Tein.

Even more beautiful if they were blue!

Any suspension guys want to come in this thread and help us out? Ive asked this before in the actual GT suspension thread but no one answers there... sooo

If I had the money, i would definetly get coil overs.... it's great, you get to adjust everything!!!!

Definitely coil-overs. They reduce weight at the 4 corners by about 2-3 lbs each and push the suspension to the 4 corners. Better handling and more responsive.

I am torn as to which ones to get ! ! !

They all look good but the Teins are that nasty green colour!

Eh Im thinking I want more of a manly color lol, and something that is going to stay with my paint scheme.. wonder if it would be bad to powder coat them?
