Hey guys,



I was wondering what suspension upgrades you would recomend for me. This will basically be my daily driver which will see some drifting and canyon driving on the weekends.



I don't want to cheap out, but I do not have an unlimited budget.



Thanks for the help.

Hmmm... suspension for drifting/canyon carving does not mix well with suspension for daily driving on bumpy street.



Sounds like you need something adjustable. Usually means coil-overs. Coil-overs usually mean at least $1000.



If you can handle a stiff ride, then get stiffer. I personally don't like stiff rides.



Linear rate springs usually work better for racing/corner carving. Progressive springs are usually nicer on the street.



Why am I not recommending a set-up to you? Its personal preference man. Sorry, this probably doesn't help. I got the same kind of answers when I asked this kind of question.

What if for now I just want to minimize body roll. What would be mods to do that?

I have rb springs, tokico 5-way shocks, and r1 sway bars. My car handles pretty well. I will probably upgrade to rb sway bars eventually. This setup is fairly inexpensive and I am happy with it.
