neuspeed + koni even better

if you want adjustability.....neuspeed + ground control are very good......if you want excellent race ready suspension w/o going full coilovers......neuspeed + koni

PreludeVTEC01, what size/kind of rims are those? I heard 18's will rub, especially with the car dropped?

DaRawkus8 · 02-03-2002, 12:08 AM

Ok i did some research, and i found out some problems with Ground Control's. They are only held on by a bolt and thats really dangerous, say one day ur driving and u hit a big pump, or pot hole, your screwed if that knot isn't tight enough, also i heard that after a while the nut lossens. So in order to not go into problems, i decided to go with springs/Shocks...

Ok this is what i found out, eibach prokit isn't a enough of a drop, i found
H&R- 1.4 in drop
Neuspeed Sport - 1.8
Eibach Sportline -1.7
Any Other Suggestions ??
Which one would go great with Koni yellow adj's ?
Also, i might be getting 18's and i dont want them to rub, Any suggestions?

i've heard eibach + koni = bouncy bouncy ride

if i were you, i would go with neuspeed + koni, it's tried and true and the result is excellent, perfect ride height, no bouncing, beautiful ride

H&R's dont drop it enough for me......but some people swear their lives on H&R so i believe they make excellent springs also

what you said about the gc's are true.......if you think about it, it's better to go simple, nonadjustable than a *somewhat* more complicated coilover set up

Hey thanks for you guys inputs,
I like the way H&R Sports Sits, 1.4 Drop, neuspeed sport sits at what drop ? Ohyea does shocks drop the car after you put in the springs? I plan on not moving the Koni Adj's perch so if i leave it in the middle Will my car drop more than the 1.4 ??????????

invest your money in a good suspension system. go with the Tein HAs, Mugen Showa, or the Apexi sustec.

in the long run.. less trouble... plus you can always say.. "ya.. i have the Teins.. it's 16 way adjustable.. that's over 65536 different setups i can do".

for most normal driving purposes and lowering purposes however, merely having springs or springs + shocks will be more than enough

suspension is a black art........there is no way to get a definite anything, so keep it simple unless you're ready to go all the way full race or what not

The neuspeed sports are 1.7 front and 1.5 rear

Just ordered them for $144 shipped

qboi · 02-03-2002, 04:27 PM

good choice...

Ruchmate · 02-03-2002, 05:39 PM

Just save up for the Teins. You know it will be a quality product. BTW, when the Tein provided shock wears out do they sell individual replacements?

Eibach/ Tokiko illuminas or blues ??

personally thisa is what I would go with. Unless you really want to jack your car up all the time to adust then why get the GC plus they are bouncy and as you said not as safe. I've heard many problems about them, which is why I really choose not to sell them unless someone really wants them. If you go with the Eibachs go with the Pro-kit. The sportlines are very soft and very bouncy. If you are going to race or anything then send the money on the Illuminas but other wise stick with blues.
