Default Suspension help...

I was curious what everyone thought of their RA/Cusco/Buddyclub coilovers.


I am looking for a set of Tein RA, BuddyClub Racing Spec, or the Cusco's.
I used to run the Apex N1's on my previous cars, but they are re-doing all their suspension, it will still be awhile. Maybe even the Meghan racing, but I haven't really felt the different suspension on the s2k, so i was curious what you all thought

I don't mind it being stiff, actually prefer it

Thanks in advance

KW V. 3's are a pretty nice setup, If I was going to go Teins, RS's would be the lowest grade I'd go with. I can see you're trying to stay under $1500, but for that money, you car is going to handle worse than stock. If that matters to you, if not I would go with the BC's.

Remember. Stock suspension first then once you get close to or near the limits of your OEM suspension then upgrade.

wouldn't it also depend on the setting you run your setup? Also, i'm trying to stay under $1500, as you said, but if I must go a bit over, I can. Its mostly a daily driver, so the most fun i'll have is turning left and right to work, but I still would want it better than stock

Hence the reason I'm still on stock suspension. Its hard to say man, you're going to lose suspension travel with all the kits you listed, then when you lower the car, you're going to lose even more. Just something to think about man.

<1500 I would go Koni's+Ground controls or comptech adjustables if youreally have to buy coilovers.

What do you think of Bilstein PSS? They might do the trick for you.

You'll be more than happy with the T1R B-Max Coilovers.

Everyone's input welcome, again I appreciate it guys, I know with RA's and such it seems like I will be cutting my shock travel, but having it be a daily driver, how big of an impact will that have? At this point it seems like I will go with RS, but if its not too bad I go RA
