Ok i have about $1000 to play around with. What combination of things should I buy to make my Base '01 competitive on the track? I was going to buy lowering springs but i heard they mess up your shocks. Sways? Shocks? Springs? Thanks.

Ground Control coilovers/Koni Sport (yellows)...less than $1000...'nuff said.

ludecrs01 · 02-12-2002, 10:54 PM

Are those adjustable? If not, how much would they lower the car? Also will these last? (longer than 2 years)...

SK Honda 7 · 02-12-2002, 11:18 PM

what the difference between Koni Yellow and Koni which one is the adjustable. Also where can i get them for cheap.

KulSecHskY · 02-13-2002, 12:14 AM

The Koni "yellows" are stiffness-adjustable. The GC's coilovers are height-adjustable. You can lower your car with the GCs over 3 inches...but then, you'll have to get an camber kit on top of it. As for lasting awhile, a number of people with this setup have had theirs last for 2 years or more. I've had mine for a year...no problems for me.

KulSecHskY--TEIN HAs for $900? Last I checked, they run for about $1400+...unless there's been a huge price drop.

That's a steal for $900, if they really are the TEIN HAs!

KulSecHskY · 02-13-2002, 12:34 AM

Yeah i no! I was kinda bummed when he said that.

Thanks for the info....approx how much do each of those run new?

I got quoted $1,010 at Bozz in the Bay Area for Tein HAs w/out pillowball mounts. That included the tax and the install

The pillowballs will just rattle your car anyway.

If the tiens price is that good get them but if not get

Ground Control Coilovers and
Neuspeed Koni Shocks (5 way adjustibility and 20mm shorter then normal koni;s)

Rougly around $900 for the two sets with shipping...from www.shox.com

Jacques · 02-13-2002, 06:47 PM

Also, it's your choice on what spring rates on the coilovers you want for front/back. If you plan to autocross/track/road race, the stiffer, the better. My setup is 450lbs F/380lbs R...marginally tolerable for people that like "soft" suspension (jury is still out on that one

), but stiff enough for my purposes.

ahhhh not true though. My friend also ordered from there twice and both times they shipped him the wrong stuff. I got my problem fixed, it just took month and 1/2.

LegoMahEggroll · 02-13-2002, 08:04 PM

Ruchmate · 02-13-2002, 08:19 PM
