Question about the super cup kit

[mndude07]

The Neuspeed super cup kit has ride height adjustment grooves, but then on their website it says it lowers the car 2.2" in the front and 2.0" in the rear. Are those numbers the lowest it can go? If I were to buy this kit, I dont want my car quite that low, so If other height adjustments make the car not as low that would be great.

You'll note it also states that drop for just the springs alone, on stock perches.

for 600 bucks...couldnt you get a full coilover setup?

[ilovemycb7]

What would be the benefit of a full coilover setup because you'd be looking at a cheaper one compared to the super cup kit. Hows the ride on full coilover?

Whats the sense of having a fully adjustable coilover setup if most of the time you wont be adjusting it to have a true purpose. The purpose of a full coilover setup if for auto x not for just looks. The neuspeed supercup kit just makes it look easy thats all. as for the supercup kit it will lower your car but then after a little bit the springs will settle in a little more about an inch more thats about it. and im rockin sportsprings with the koni yellows which is the supercup kit. And I dont have no issues with a 2 finger gap btw.

The koni yellow shocks that come with the cup kit have 5 perch settings. The instructions recommend that with stock springs, you use the lowest perch. With lowering springs, like the ones that come with the kit, it recommend the middle perch. The lowering springs on the middle perch will give 2.2" f and 2.0" rear. If you don't want it that low, you can raise it to the highest perch and I'm guessing it'll be around 2.0"F, 1.8" rear? That's an estimate off top of my head, the distance from the middle to top perch is about .2"

You asked if 2.2" F, 2.0" R is lowest it can go. If you put the shocks on the lowest settings, you'll get approx. 2.5" F, 2.2" R.

if theres no gap/semi tire tucking on the lowest perch on 16" rims i'll definately consider the neuspeed kit

also for bragging rights.

nex's, ksports go for 600.
tein basics go for 625 plus shipping.

as for price wise, you may be able to purchase each item seperately and get them cheaper than the package deal. gitta do some research though

Okay, so the cup kits got race springs and koni yellows, would there be a difference if I went sport springs and koni yellows. Obviously it's a bit softer and higher, but how much a difference do you feel. I don't want to buy suspension and still have lots of body roll but I don't want to buy it and have a very uncomfortable ride considering I'm not track racing... at all.

[wed3k]

thats a hard combination...
body roll is somewhat dependent on the stiffness of each corner.
-retain the stock bushings
-increase tire pressure
-softer spring? (or vice versa?)
-a little bit fimer than usual strut setting

id have to say that the race springs might not be for you. they are pretty stiff.
even my h&r race springs were pretty stiff yet i still had some body roll. you'd have to play around with the setting on the koni's. remember that the change is not effective right away. you have to wait a couple days (again, is dependent on how much one drives) to se the results of the change.

like i said, that combination is hard to find.

I haven't ridden around on the Cup kit, but I did have the Neuspeed Sports and Koni Yellows on my car, and that rode perfectly while handling very nice and securely. The car soaked up bumps a lot more and was a lot easier to drive compared to stock and the other setup I had. Race might be a bit more stiff but I don't think you can get the Cup Kit with Sport springs, only separate.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the koni reds and koni yellows have the same shock strength and quality, the only difference is the yellows are adjustable right?
