suspension advice please..... yes i searched

[willy86]

hey boys and girls just need some advice on redoing my suspension properly.
at the moment she is running

Front
- coilover converted front dont know how much if any the struts were cut as it was done before i got the car. 200lb kings springs and unknown shocks.
-sigmas
-25mm GAB swaybar
-cusco camber tops
-strut brace

Rear
-Black trd springs
-trd blue 8 way adj shocks which are pissin oil
-stock swaybar
-rear brace

and the car has 6 pt cage

plans are to go to 7kg springs in the front but i dont know what shocks ie i dont wanto pay 700 for blistiens
and go hilux or suzuki shocks in the rear and take a coil or 2 out of the rear springs and see how that goes.
oh and a set of rca's wen i get around to makin em at work.
car will be used for daily and drift. so basically i need some advice on the whole package im planing and specifically front shocks.

cheers adam

get some kyb agx from T3 or AJPS. mr2 sw20 fitment.

i think youll find the suzuki shox a little soft for your springs. again, agz from either of these suppliers should fit your bill, not to expensive, and they work.

i wouldnt go so hard in the front either. try 6kg first and go from there, especially seeing as you already have a bigger sway bar in the front.

and get the rcas done asap, if your car is lowered any decent amount youll need them.

thanks for the plug dimitri,

pm coming your way willy

I am using KYB AGX's to suit a ST205 GT4 celica, 60m shorter than standard

also isnt 7kg way too hard to handle on the street? have you driven a car on the road for more than 30min with such a hard setup?

[slydar]

i have. yes its too hard in my oppinion. i think it is a better idea to increse your roll stiffness with sway bars. people need to realise that theres no point mirroring the set ups of D1/N1 cars if you dont run the tyres to match.

for the front... i use those king springs coilover conversion things also.. mine are 250lbs at the moment..

for 6kg/mm works out to be 338lbs/in
for 7 kg/mm is 395lbs/in..

Its ok here in SE Qld because we have the best roads, in my hachi in sydney was hell and its not even a great setup.

Mine appear to be 425mm.
