Default Suspension choices

alright ive decided im gonna take on my poor suspension as another project along side the progressing turbo build. Im trying to figure which way you guys figure i should go with this. Right now im eyeing the Tein Basic coil over set, they look like they would cover everything im looking for. Are there any other set ups comparable to the the tein's for about the same cost?

I have Koni Yellow/Ground Controls. I paid $837 shipped for them in a custom spring rate. For the price, there is really no better setup you can get.

They are a sleeve type coilover. Since you can custom pick your spring rates in pretty small increments, they can be tailored to your liking. I am running 350F/450R.

Default Help with my suspension

I didn't want to make another thread just for this. Can anyone tell me what suspension setup I have on my ek? The guy said that they are skunk2 coilovers. I don't know. Also what kind of camber kit and how can I see what shocks i have? (i think they are oem tho)





PS it doesn't say any brand name anywhere on the springs...

they look like skunk 2 springs, thats wat i have on mine right now. It looks like im gonna have to cut back to a less baller option. The seals on my targa are leaking and i cant put off the repairs much longer. Fricking seals cost 356 bucks MY COST id hate to see list on these these lol. I found a decent looking tokico shock/spring combo on ebay for a good price, might go that direction. Although i cant rule out ignoring the seal leak for the time being and sticking with the omnis :rick:
