http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TEIN-TYPE-B...091246607QQrdZ1





or some racing beat springs and tokico illuminas???









i already have the racing beat springs. but 400 for just the tokico shocks. it would cost the same to just get the tien set up. but are they any good? never heard much about it...

tein is a very reputable company.i had tein basics on my old s13 and they were great! good begginner setup i suppose,no collar adj or damping adj.but if you dont track the car it doesnt really matter anyway...

I have TEIN RA on my FC , Pretty ******* rough., but handling is good in the backroads. Haven't Autox it coz it's about to explode with leaking oil and whining tranny now.





I have Apexi N1 dampers on my FD, this thing handles really well, especially that FD's are really race spec'd already (so I read as far a suspension).



I've heard good things about Flex. Have you considered that?

Might as well for a little more maybe?



FD is a 'supercar' , think many times what you put on it....

I agree with amp..



I had RB with tokico 5way on my blk FD and liked it

I now have Eibach pros with tokico on my MB and I like it

I now have Apexi EXV on the blk FD but its not running..

And I'll be switching the Eibacks to Tein flex coils..

i like my apexi evx 100x more than my racingbeat and tokicos, even at the hardest setting, it dampens a lot more of the bumps, dips, cracks and potholes of northern newjersey streets.

Another Koni recommendation here with whatever springs you like. Ground Control coil over or RBs or Eibachs or H&Rs or... Works great on street and track.
