  • What do you guys think about this setup?

    Hey Guys,
    I think this is what I'm going to do for right now for my suspension.
    Springs: Eibach Pro-kit
    Shocks: SLP Take-off
    A spohn panhard rod.

    [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img] or [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ??

    How will the handling and ride quality be different if I used bilstein shocks instead of the take-offs? I am really interested in ride quality than handling right now. And if there is not much of a difference between those shocks then I think I'll probably just stick with the take-offs.

    I'm also thinking about the 1LE front and rear sway bars....

      I'll prolly get cussed out for this one, but I've got the 1LE swaybar package with the stock shox and springs, and it's a huge improvement from the stock sways. Much more level turns. That was my main concern.

        With a Pro Kit get a stiffer shock. At high piston velocity Bilsteins actually dampen even less then DeCarbons. I would get HDs and revalve them. $300 for HDs, $150 for revalving.

          Would H&R or eibach pro kit work better with the take-off shocks?

            Koni, QA1, or Hal shocks are good I think because they're ride comfort adjustable, as well as come w/ coil-over kits so you can adjust ride height as well. I'm thinking perhaps ground control coil-over kit, Hal shocks, 1LE sways combo. Since i won't get an adj. phr or lca's for a while, I'd only lower the car a conservative 1/2"-1", and then later see if I want to lower it any more than that. Since you are thinking of tightening up the suspension, I'd also go so far as to get a STB and SFC's so that you're making the suspension work instead of letting the body flex.
