2G GSX Suspension setup????

[BlackBulletTSi]

So for those that don't know I've gotten another 2G and this time shes AWD and works correctly LoL. Anyway I'm in the market for a new suspension setup already since mine is a little bit bouncy. I don't know how old they are on the car but I'm told there tokico shocks and I believe bilstien springs. So I'm looking at a few options. Theres these setupsthat I am looking at

Tokico Illumina Suspension Kit: 95-99 Eclipse AWD 1.75" Drop #17541

Megan Racing Coilover Damper Kit(Street Series): Mitsubishi Eclipse 95-99 #20863

or

KYB-AGX Shocks with a set of Eibach Springs. I didn't feel like getting three links just for those. Anyone have any other suggestions or comments on the ones I'm currently looking at?

What about ksport coilovers. That seems to be a pretty popular setup on dsm's lately. And they don't cost much more than the tokico illumina kit

[PaleDSM]

What is your budget? What do you plan on doing with the car?

[BlackBulletTSi]

I plan on some racing but will be driving it pretty much dailey. That's why I was looking at the adjustables. As far as budget goes I wanna keep it a bit reasonable somewhere between what I posted maybe a little more. As far as the other suggestion I didn't even look at those but I will def give them a look.

Trust me on this price wise. Dirt cheap and I haven't heard anything negative on them yet. Got mine sitting in the garage because they are awaiting the camber kit.

It is Tokico Blue's and Illumina 1.75 inch springs.

Dex go with the tokico my buddys 2nd gen has the same setup and its butter.

What kind of racing? That will determine how much spring you are going to need. Most off the shelf lowering springs are going to be way to soft for road course or serious autoX work.

[BlackBulletTSi]

I usually do a lot of drag I don't know how well this car would do on a road course or autox. I think I'd rather setup a different car to do those things though this car might be able to be setup for it. However I've never even tried or get to road course or autox events. So I'd say for right now just a couple trips to Atco for some 1/4 mile fun would be perfect for me.

I need coilovers too. I'd get Koni Yellows and like GC's or something but at that price its the same as coilovers.

ksports seem to be awesome. Im not sure if d2 makes suspension for dsms, but they're the same as ksport except you can order them with any spring rate you want. This allows ofr a little more freedom because the ksport typically is a bit hard equating to some under-dampening and bouncyness.

[BlackBulletTSi]

I just found the ksport coilovers for 850 does anyone recommend these over the megan racing or vice versa?

[olmytsi]

ksports for sure...

[OMGz Turbo]

ksport over megan racing. I wouldnt use megan simply because of the bad taste they seem to leave in other's mouths

If you are looking for Ksports contact Element Motorsports. They are located next door to Ksport which alows them to get you any spring rate you want very fast. Took about a week from the time I placed my order (with custom spring rates) for them to show up at my door step.

[BlackBulletTSi]

I really wouldn't know ish about spring rates and what I would need. What kind of rate would I be looking at for what I mentioned.

[Kevin]

I might be able to get a cheaper price for the coils you need. Let me see what I can do for you.

[bm250r]

Since its gonna be driven almost daily I think you should stay close to the stock 12k/7k rates. I race my car alot, so I went a bit stiffer in the rear.

[Kevin]

Dex, I can get them for you for $700 if you want. I might be able to go lower. Let me know.

[TROLL]

I would definitely not go with a 12k/7k spring rate on your street car. Your going to spend 98% of its time on the street anyway and that really wont be comfortable at all, and it will probably handle worse on your average imperfect road.
Even from a racing standpoint, stiff does not always mean better. Your avg. track has tons of cracks, bumps, and other imperfections... overly stiff suspension will lose grip over these, whereas a more compliant suspension will not.
Everything in moderation... I vote for a mild suspension setup which will be much better for all around, mostly daily driven use.

If you do go with K-Sports please consider buying through our forum vendor, GV Autosport who offers very competitive pricing on K-Sport products.

12k/7k is the stock spring rate for a 2g and they ride just fine on the street.
