I'm looking for a suspension that i plan on buying in a couple weeks for my EF... i'm having dillema's on what to buy. I kind of have my mind set on H & R sports 1.7" drop as for the shocks i cannot decide. for price range lets say around 600$ and i believe Koni yellows ( i want) are out of that league. I am open to suggestions but i was looking at :
Bilstein Self-Adjusting Mono Tube Gas Shocks
KYB AGX High Performance Shocks
Koni Red Adjustable Shocks
Tokico Illumina Adjustable Strut Kits
Tokico HP Premium Performance Strut Kits

i don't know anything else in that price range. Should i even go with those springs? ($160 US shipped to my doorstep)

and what do i do about camber? and how does it work exactly?

Thanks
Dan

h&r springs are good, u should be happy with them. might want to consider nuespeed aswell.

are you looking for adjustable shocks.
i would go with kyb agx or tokico illumina's

i wouldn't go with koni reds cause they use the stock shocks housing, pain in the *** to install if your doing it yourself

Neuspeed has higher spring rates last I checked. That's why I went with them over H&R on my old car.

For shocks both AGXs and Illuminas are good. Also look into Blistiens.

With a 1.7-1.8" drop you shouldn't have to worry about camber.

Gunmetalef

is camber needed IF i go for 2"?

Gunmetalef

is it wortht the extra money for koni yellows? if i get those i will have to sacrafice some exterior mods ... or would i be happy with tokico illumina's? or Blistiens ( i heard are good )

bdotdan

well if exterior mods will have to be sacraficed, then YES get koni yellows! don't do exterior mods!

you should be happy with illuminas since i have not heard anything bad about them yet.

Gunmetalef

is it worth an extra 300 ( give or take) for the konis rather than illuminas?

The G2 Racer

Yellows are worth the extra cash. I know I'll drop the coin on them.

If you go below 1.8" of drop you need a camber kit. Though I didn't have a camber kit on my old car. Dropped on Neuspeed Races and the camber wasn't too bad imo. In fact it was perfact. It's toe in/out that will really eat up your tires.

Gunmetalef

any opinions on the Blistiens?

The G2 Racer

Blistiens are very good shocks too. I've got a friend who rides on them and loves em.

PM Astroboy, he's always got a killer deal on stuff. His koni yellow's are around $800 tax in.
Otherwise, consider the red koni's non-adjustable. Koni's the consumer best for a reason

Gunmetalef

well i'm pretty sure i'm going to go for the koni's and H & R i spoke to astro boy they are a bit expensive but all that means is i wont be able to afford it for a little longer and i cannot do what i wanted to the exterior but i will have to live with it for now.. i will get them .. soon enough.. june probrobly
