What is the best lower spring out there?

[Punk]

i was going to get them but didint have enough money

 

[Aikidoshadow]

best as in what performance, ride, drop, sitting level?
pedders makes the best performing spring we have currently.
They drop somewhere in between sportlines and a pro kit and keep the rake stance we have OEM from what I understand.

So basically i just should save up the money and drop the car on coilovers because with all the other components i need to have. Alright if I went with some coilovers what brand should i get and then do i need to get these other parts that you guys said that i should get??

If you get coilovers you will still want to buy rack spacers and rotated transmission mounts.

Ah alright. What is best brand of coilovers for the car?? What if i dont get the rack spacers and the rotated transmission mounts what will be affected?? Sorry for all the questions i just want to understand this

Coilovers all depend on your budget, you get what you pay for. If you're cheap, you get cheap crap. Spend the dough and get the good stuff.

Rack spacers will reduce bump steer, which will increase the lower you drop the car.

Rotated transmission mounts crank the engine forward a bit so that the axles are lined up correctly as to avoid breaking your CV joints as often.

Also after you lower your car get an alignment done. I've been lazy and haven't gotten one yet.

Havent seen a set specific to the autos, but you could probably get the rear spacer from OTTP if you called them and put it under your auto mount, would rotate it a bit.

i am def not ordering from OTTP again lol

 

[YelloEye]

Ive never had a problem with them.

You still waiting for them rotors?

 

[dman090]

yup.. they said they were supppsed to ship last week and arive this week.

 

[arman14]

It's gonna be a long ass wait.

 

[YelloEye]

Wth? I never had any issues with them.

 

[Aikidoshadow]

They are working on F23 mounts right now, but the testing has been done on manual trannys, not the autos.

 

[07cobaltsssc]

ah alright yeah i not gonna buy cheap shit, my gonna buy the good coilovers. I guess i will have to save some money up to get everything done at once so nothing else happens to the car when i lower it. But if you guys see any deals for coilovers please let me know! Thanks

Are KW coilover Variant 2 better than the KSport Version RR Damper system?? or the other way around?? I dont know too much about coilovers so i dont know what i am looking for and what i need to have in the features of the coilovers.

 

[dman090]

if you can afford them, get the stance coilovers.... other wise ksports are very nice

 

[07cobaltsssc]

alright cool, i will look into both of them.

 

[The Beer Guy]

Don't forget the front camber cams!!!
