Need suspension help...Guidence
 

hey, I'm planning on getting some suspension ordered next friday and I was thinking of geting a set of coil-overs because I need to raise the car in the winter and Some Tokico Blue Shocks..

The coil-overs I was planing on getting are the Toms motorsports coil-overs...

now I'm just wondering, are they any good??? will they seeze up after winter??? What should I coat them with to prevent them from rusting/seezing up???

also I mentioned that I want to get the Tokico Blue(s) shocks...are they any good???

would this combo be good???

the drop I'm looking to get is about figer-width between tire and wheelwell.


any other suggestions???

I'd love to keep this work under $900.00 because I'm deciding on selling or keeping the car next summer.

please help a bro out

thanks

I got a better idea... keep the car same height all year round... you don't live in Siberia, you live in a civilized city... KYB AGX paired up with Progress or Eibach springs. OR!!! you can buy a set of stock upper mounts, and then have two susps that you swap in a matter of an hour for stock height winter driving on stock shocks...

Tokico blue is not much more than a stock-replacement shock.

Tom's coilvers, mixed feelings... some say good, most say crap... if you don't want them to seize, use anti-seize :D I'm serious, Permatex and Loctite make anti-seize compound... it's a silver paste that use extensively on my brake pad slider clips, lug studs, and every susp bolt I ever touch :)

IMO, if you want coilovers sleeves, Ground Control, Skunk2, or nothing. Some will say different.

If you can't afford the good stuff, stick with a nice shock/spring combo. H&R Sport with Tokico Blue will be fine for year-round driving.

I notice springs/shocks get stiffer in winter... cold weather makes the oil thick and makes the shock have higher rebound rates :D

can't wait to get my KYB GR2 on the Saturn... hehe...even my "winter" car is lowered :D

KYB 4-way adjustables with Skunk 2 coilovers.
