hi there mate, how much are u looking to spend on sussy?
and What is your need for the coilover? is it just for looks? track use? or speed use?
is your car sussy still standard? can u find out for me how much is the distance between the wheel arch and the tyres of the front and rear?
also how far is the distance from the ground to the front bumper?
I wanna know this because I am looking to buy coilovers too and to see how low I can get on each coilovers. When I bought the car, I had it lowered already. So I am not sure the original height from the ground.
Cheers
im lookin to getting the coilovers second hand, so spending between $1,000 to $1,500. the car is now on stock everything, the the gap between the wheel arch and the tyres is HUGE lol. to be honest i cbf measuring, and i don't really have the time cause of study...
heaps of them are for sale 2nd hand.
Tein SS is available 2nd hand for around that price.
SS i heard is better :P
HA is very harsh ride. think teh spring rate is like FR20RR8 or sumthing

or was that HR??
check they website man.

im daily driving, but also have the occasional mountain run/trackday...
For that, go for SS. HA is meant for track cars. Driving them on the street means having your gf complaining everytime she is in your car.Quote:

i got HA is rides fine. both height and damper adjustable. but you do need to watch out for the pot holes and tram/train lines.
go for Flex if you can afford it. forget SS.
y, will they break if i hit a pothole?
I had TEIN HA for my DC5R. There are great. SS are not better. SS are basic.
Front Spring rate 9kg/mm
Rear Spring rate 11kg/mm
Spring rates are perfect between street/track.
24way shock adjustment front and rear
Adjustable top pillow ball mount
I sold it second hand for $1.5k.
Great product and I recommend using TEIN coilovers. Will buy TEIN again in the future.
Hope this helps!
lol na man it wont brake. just not comfortable thats all.Quote:

SS are height adjustable. But it doesn't have an adjustable lower mount. If you want the adjustable lower mount, you have to go for the Flex or get BC N+.Quote:

lol, too late gonna put deposite on them tomorrow morning and hopefully have them fitted sometime in july!
Dude, for the DC5 they are fantastic. HA is different with other cars. Not all the other cars have the pillow ball mount option like the DC5 has.Quote:
