good price for my setup? and some info please.

[lowoctane]

well i just bought tokico blues for 90$(total 360$) a piece, and im buying a set of nuespeed springs for i think it was 160$..sound like good prices, and thats shipped...and im still debating on the ride height i want, because im ordering the springs when i pick up the struts cause im still debating..i can either go with the race = 2.2front and 2.0 rear and would settle lower than that, or i could go 1.7 all around i believe, or its 1.8 front and 1.7 rear should settle at about 2" around, im on 15" rims, im just at a crunch of which would give me the handling i want and the agressiveness but not to much...im leaning toward the 1.7, but im lost...

anyone know the ride height of ATX's nuespeeds?

thanx!

I think he has the Race's...his car's pretty low.

hmm, and with that, with his 16's and the 205/50/16 tires and my 15" and 195/50/15 tires, does that = to a 2 inch diff?..or 1?..duh umm, lol.

$520 shipped for everything... it's alright, not too high, not basement bargain prices either.

those with neuspeed race springs:

atx (tokico struts)
usc (koni struts)
h23accord (koni struts)
zigen ballz (tokico struts)
fliplyricist1 (stock struts)

all but h23accord have a member's ride thread, so you may want to check out their pics in the member's ride forum.

hmm, and with that, with his 16's and the 205/50/16 tires and my 15" and 195/50/15 tires, does that = to a 2 inch diff?..or 1?..duh umm, lol.

1 inch difference in rim diameter (15 versus 16)
10 millimiter difference in section width (195 vs. 205)
same aspect ratio (50 vs. 50)

while the car will sit closer to the ground, by 1 inch, because of the smaller wheels, the height difference between the fender and the tire will be the same.

given identical suspension components, cars with smaller wheels are closer to the ground, and are lower... but the the ride height is the same.

sorry to say but u got ripped off on those prices. checkout ebay. for $360 u can get tokico illuminas or kyb agx, much better than those tokico blues. and $160 for springs is too much. i'd suggest getting some used ones for <$100. All of my suspension setups have been used and they're all great still.

yea i got brand new neuspeed sports from ebay for 120 shipped. id look there for spring cuz theres deals there all the time...im gettin kyb agx's from ebay too cuz its the cheapest ive seen em anywhere on the net

[thatsitbelowradarSTL]

kyb agx's being better than tokico blues is just an opinion but for new stuff i am not suprised at what your paying...ebay does have cheap stuff and new...you can get some used springs for cheap and can still be good...i have tokico blues and satified w/ their performance

actually with a 1 inch smaller diameter:

there will be 1/2 inch more wheel gap
car will sit 1/2 inch lower to the ground
