well since most of us are getting money back from our taxes i'm deciding to spend my funds on some suspension for my car. (thank god!). The only problem is i can't figure out which suspension i should purchase! i was thinking about the hks coilovers which are around 1700.00. if anyone is running them let me know how they are, and i'm also up for some suggestions. Anyones feedback is much apreciated. FYI i'm looking for suspension that i'll be daily driving, not just track use! thank you!

 

Hey man I got teins they feel nice

 

The HKS Hypermax III Sports (I assume these are the ones you're talking about) are supposedly pretty darn good.

However, like all Japanese coilovers, they have quite a high spring rate and will feel pretty harsh on the street.

For a more compliant ride I would highly recommend the KW Variant 3's. These are the ones that I am rocking currently, and are about the same price point.

 

Spend the $1700 on track days and tires. The factory suspension is fine.

 

But then you don't get the, you know, mad tite drop that makes the panties do the same

 

 

The stock suspension is pretty capable on the track, and is well-setup for the street.

I have the KWv3, and it makes street driving much more uncomfortable. You really feel every bump, and you have to be very careful about which curbs and driveways and such that you decide to go over. But I don't hardly ever drive the car on the street any more. It does feel a lot more responsive on the track though. (However, responsive can also mean "responsive to mistakes", so that's a double-edged blade.)

But it all depends on what you want to do with your car. I'm not nearly so quick to tell people that they should do what I would want to do as I was a few years ago.

 

How do you get money back from the IRS?

 

Become a Senator or hire a lobbyist. Or just hire a Senator.
