camber plates are almost 300 bucks after you factor in shipping. The whole setup minus shocks is around 600 USD I think



Then you need to corner weight the thing. expect another 100 to 150 to do corner weight and alignment.



Not exactly cheap.

[quote name='rowtareh' date='Jul 26 2005, 11:20 PM']damn, i forgot that the rears are 8-way adjustable. good job man, you will notice a better ride. i know I did on my old FC with just the front struts done.



have you looked into h&r springs, I know they make springs for FD's, but try finding some for FC's, they may have them.

I had that setup for a couple years. I left the shock settings to 2 front/4 rear most of the time. The roads around me suck by the way

So how did the eibach KYB combo work out? How does the car ride, handle, etc? I am looking for springs and shocks for a 91 vert and I am trying to pick a good combo. If anyone has any suggestions, I al lookign to run Illumina's and Eibachs or Tein Springs.

well currently i ride on tien HA's coilovers... very stiff and sounds like my car is gonna break into two pieces lol... switching them back to stocks until i save money for a city drivable suspension.



I was also looking for KYB AGX's with EIBACH Spring. Lots of good things i hear about those two combos. Just need a cheap source as my financial situation is pretty tight at this moment. Besides.... i need to fix up on more important things before I go do those.

yea, im in the same boat, looking for springs/shocks for my 88 vert. I looked into the RB spring/antiroll kit, but what confused me was that the RB's rear rate was less than stock, while the front was greater. For the vert, which is heavier in back, wouldnt you want a greater rear rate (unless you want it to understeer like a *****). Is there any difference between the suspensions for a vert and the coupes? AKA will springs and shocks for a coupe fit on vert?



Let us know how the kyb's and eibachs work for you, im gonna be wanting to throw on some new suspension parts soon, she already is starting to need shocks.
