best overall suspension!!??
Saturday, February 12, 2005 12:02 AM
ok i just ordered 18's and i am not wanting to replace my dropzones and get a nice full suspension. i hear the agx's are pretty good for struts. what do you guys recommend. and also i want a nice set of springs. i want it to be pretty low but to have a little angle down... so the back isnt lower than the front ,bc i see alot of cavs like that. Ide like a 1.8 in the front and 1.7 or .6 in the back. and not much wheel gap at all. i heard B & G are a good set what would you guys recommend. leave pics and and discriptions of what you have. POST!!!!

the only struts that are warrantied for for than a 1.5" drop are the koni sport (yellow). any conbination will "work" but depending on your roads, may not last as long as you would like. i.e. edelbrock has a z24 with stock shocks struts and sportline springs (1.7 front; 2.3 rear drop) however it doesn't deal with potholes, at all. stock shocks/struts only dampen on the rebound stroke, so with less suspension travel and no compression it is very likely to bottom out with say pittsburgh, PA roads.

i would say that a 1.5" drop springs, and mid grade shocks/struts (tokico, KYB exct.) would be a good bet for overall suspension (cost/performance)

you could go the coilover route with the ground control sleeved coilovers, that would even out the front & rear lowering. they have kits for kyb, koni, exct. Or you could get the tein coilovers, which run around $800, this is actually a good value. shop around, get the prices, there are a lot of options out there-basically it depends on how much you want to spend.

For exactly what you're asking for, I think the Eibach Sportlines with Koni Yellows are your best option. They're a tad bit lower than what you're asking for but right up your alley.
