Yeah, I keep mine at 1 and 2 almost always. Even in autocrossing I only go f/r -> 2/4; 2/6 if it's sticky pavement. My springs are 300/225 I believe, but I can't recall at all, too many numbers flying around from switching around on my old first gen racer.



Just curious, thanks.

Hehe, sorry for the confusion. My recommendations:



Struts: KYB AGX's all around

Springs: Your choice, eibach's do alright

Sway bars: Turbo II

Bushings: Urethane (warning, stiff)

the agx's are excellent. if you take the big jdm names like jic and tein and shock dyno them you find that the adjustment **** is there for decoration, the agx is actually doing somthing.


Do you have those Shock Dyno tests? I would love to see that. Tein and JIC and Cusco have put a lot of time and money into testing their suspension. Tein is involved in many aspects of racing and makes quality suspension.



Personally I don't like JIC because I have had too many sets just wear out too soon and they are expensive to rebiuld but when they work they are oustanding.



From what I have seen most suspension setups in America are of much lower quality construction and seem kind of "thrown together" for lack of a better word...



I am not an expert by any means but the Teins I had the spring stayed in the seat at any ride height as well as MY JIC's The current Cusco coilovers I have use Helper springs but the others did not. I would love to see some test of different suspensions though..
