Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

This is for street but from what i have read just springs with stock shocks will start leaking and just kill them. And what about the camber.?

**thescotty** · 30-10-2008 05:28 PM

then get shocks and springs...the stock shocks if there in good condition wont die on low springs for a while..if u have super low then yeh theyll be dead quick..i have mates who cut super lows to be lower and have had no problems for quite some time now. but not adviced lol....if u have the money and want to spend like a grand on suspension go coilovers. for camber im not sure ask spoon(blackstone)

neg camber will appear as u lower the car...the more u low the more camber..u can get camberkit to fix that...

unless u get gd shocks and springs...i tend to find it hard to get the right combination...but i know Kings Springs still makes them...and they are pretty gd as is, obviously overtime it will kill the shocks then u upgrade the shocks when that happens

I would prob make the drop 1.5 nothing to harsh the Da chassis is already low but the more and more i read people say don't do it cheap. cheers for the info. thinking of spending something around $800. Do you know much about eibach springs?? and getting some good shocks to go with them...

for $800 (prob bit more now due to the shit AUD) you could get Ground Control coils (uses eibach springs) with koni yellows
I had this combination and i loved it.. you can even choose your spring rates when you order.

the DA's are nearing 20 years old so the chances are putting lowered springs on any stock shock will kill them pretty quickly

yeah for 800 bucks u can get coilover already..or some 2nd ones

Ground Controls and Koni Yellows are around USD$900 for the DA before you even consider shipping, AUD$800 is about half of what you'll pay.

Yer the au is stuffed for sure makes me sad. for ebay stuff.

**sheppsz** · 30-10-2008 09:34 PM

**Spoon DA9R** · 30-10-2008 10:36 PM

true.. although back when i was shopping for them there was a special for 799US for the package.. but at the exchange rate these days that means about $1300 excluding shipping !!
