I need some help and opinions on what is a better set up for my car its a 87 n/a with new cluth and some other stuff, I have heard that ground control's coil over sleeves are rather good for the price and all, but these k2rd coilovers seem really like a better deal price wise and the fact that i think they come with new pillow ball mounts, or am i wrong, i know it says does not come with shocks. can anyone help out and give some opinions and what not , thanks in advance



marc-

oh and what about rs*r springs are they any good?? thanks again

Well to be honest they are basically the same. You'll need the front camber plates as well on either if you want any adjustment.

I prefer K2RD for obvious reasons, A) I sell their parts B) I know the people who run the joint and they's good people that stand behind their products. That means more then price to me ANY day.

keep on pushin them products phins, lol...



he's right though...they are really similar..both companies have a good rep and both back their product well. I'm going w/ the K2s because the price is better, and I plan on getting other K2 stuff...i like to keep to the same companies on my car..





hey phins, whats the drop rate on the K2s though...whats their range..i've been meaning to ask?

well sounds good then, what comes with the coil overs that k2 sells??

You get the coil with the collar. Basically the same as Ground Control. You should get the front camber plates as well or you won't have much adjustment. But that goes the same for both ground control and K2RD.

LOL he asked why, I was honest.....



Adjustment, without the front camber plates is about nothing. I believe it's about 4 inches with the camber plates, but don't quote me on that.



They are in the process of a move right now, I will shoot them a message and ask or maybe Mike can answer the question when he gets back from the pool LOL

cool, are the springs rates the same on the k2's?? and what else do i need to get them on for front and rear?? im guessing the rear cambers..

Yes, they are Eibach 375 lbs springs.



You talking about the pillow ball mounts in the rear?



http://www.rx-7parts.com/product_info.php/...products_id/109

so thats all i would need are the rear pillow abll mounts? and im set , then ill get that rear toe in ellimanator bushing and replace all the bushings with poly ones. any other suggestions?

the big difference between the k2rd and the gc is that the gc are aluminum and the k2 are steel. the k2 camber plates are also a better deisgn, lower profile. k2 also offers a rear mount while gc doesnt at all. the springs are 420/250 but that can be custom ordered, they both use the same eibach 2.5" springs. the springs can also be custom length so you can have the car really low if you want.

Thanks Mike.

thanks alot guys, you have been of great help, seriously.. ive been kinda confused on what to get, but i think i am gonna go with k2, oh i dont know maybe ground control , i guess all i can do is wait to see how the funds are really, but thanks anyways.

Where do you see K2RD's coil overs? I tried looking on the site, but a lot of it is still "under construction"...

at the nopistons store they sell them and many other goodies yay!

as is the shop

since we are on the subject, is their any way to fix the "re-seat" problem??



I think there is some kind of a spacer spring, but i really don't know what im talking about. Any way to fix that problem on either?

the k2 ones have a conical seat, so that problem is fixed



mike

are the k2's good for drifting? i'm thinking of setting up my car for a bit of drifting/daily driving.

Check the teamfc3s.org forums under the drifting category, theyve talked about suspensions recently.

Mike, you sold me on the K2's if they can give me custom rates and lengths on the Eibachs.
