Suspension set ups...

[decoyslikecurves]

Hey all, interested in peoples suspension setups for their ae86s.
Mine is currently pedders long shocks with king lows.

But Im have trd race springs coming from japan very soon... 6kg front and 4.7kg rear, and KYB non adj short stroke shocks.
also converting to sigma control arms front for more camber and track, and camber tops, probably cusco.

Does anyone have experiece with the kyb non adj short stroke shocks?
Also larger rear swaybars... What difference do they make?

Thanks

i say stay away from the kyb shot strokers

i have i think ae101 koni adjustable or something similar because they are a shorter for my custom built coilovers. using king springs, it is a very good setup and is hard as a rock. i will be getting sigma controll arms from abit more track.
and for my rear suspension im not sure yet, possibly trd springs then get them compressed to my desiered height

yeah im getting koni front struts wen i convert mine to coilovers.

i got cusco camber tops they made the car alot more responsive in the steering

[slide86]

yeah i have camber tops to unsure what brand they are, they have been ground back, and drilled out to allow max camber

Whats wrong with the kyb shocks? I have been told they are a good shock for less than half the price of the konis...

[garage_kook01]

theres nothing really wrong with them. its jsut i know a bloke that had them and they fell apart

[mikes86]

there is nothing wrong with kyb shocks. ive got the a pair on my hachi and no problems very nice compare to the rest of the shit ass supension. also heard that kyb shocks make the trd ones.

The front of mine consists of modified sprinter struts converted to coilover with a 7kg spring rate and Tokico HTS SS adjustables. The rear is tokico as well with a custom (Read: Chopped) set of fairlane springs. My T diff is gay and has no swaybar mounts so no swaybar ATM.
