hey all
i bought a ej8 recently. So far ive modded it and chucked a few parts on it.

My next step is to get some good shocks/coilovers for it.
I deffinately want to get out on the track soon.

So should i go for somthing like bilstein, koni etc shocks with some good springs? or should i really go for some fully adjustable coilovers?

i dont want to spend more then $1500


thanks for your help

well if u can stand the bumpiness on normal roads then get coilovers. if not then get koni yellows and change how hard or soft they are depending on ur purpose

Talk to edwr his a trader on here i think he can get TEIN coilovers for a fairly decent price aye... might be worth looking at it

I've got cheap coilovers on mine and they're ridiculously bouncy, on the highway doing 130 I thought I was on a roller coaster ride after going over a few bumps. I've got some TEIN S Tech waiting to go on, hoping to get a better ride and keep it reasonably low.

i couldnt tell u since ive never tracked yet, but i guess it wud be a good entry level coilover. just match it up with good tyres, swaybars and camber kits and u should have a nice setup.
