i've been doing some reading and people also do recommend springs such as pss9's with front anti-sway bars to help things out in reference to cornering abilities and ride comfort... yes?

anyone running the coilovers on trinis' comment and have any experience or input with them? i'd like to know.
Since no one else seems to be chimining in, I'll have a go since I own these CO's myself.

Just got them fully sorted - 12kgF / 10Kg/mm Rear. These run, strangely enough given how much stiffer the springs are over stock, almost like stock (for MY01). There are some types of bumps where it is harsher, usually the high speed bumps which I refer to as negative (holes in the road). For positive bumps (man hole covers raised above the road's surface), they seem virtually stock. I have found the right damper settings for good overall comfort and high speed stability. I am happy with them now (wasn't until I found the magic settings for the dampers just a couple of days ago).

No camber kit needed since I did not drop too low (10mm), and I don't think you should need at all unless you go down to scrape the ground, which these do allow you to do.

Good overall value for my needs which includes regular AutoX.

keep the stock suspension, there is no coilover setup that can outperform the stock suspension for your budget.


Do not cheap out when it comes to your suspension

I respectfully disagree.

IMO, the Megan Track or Apex-i EXV coilovers (same coilovers, just different name )are better than OEM and they can be purchase new for ~$1000.

No, but I know several people in Socal that track with those coils and they love it better than stock.

I have Moton CS right now.

Get some espelirs and call it a day.

$170 shipped, around 1-2 finger gap all around, no bounce at all, and slightly stiffer ride then stock.

Best springs IMO
