    WHAT suspension set-up are you running? And how would you rate it?

    i was just curious of what some of the different suspension set up you guys in here are running and how would you rate them from a 1-10 from comfort & performance. It could also help others who might be planning on buying a new suspension make a good choice. Also lets keep it honest guys/gals dont rate your ebay coilovers with stock blown to hell shocks a 7.5 please. This can really make or break a persons decision on going with one brand or set up over another. id be really pissed if i paid XXX amount expecting a decent ride cause someone stated that yeah type X,Y,Z brand is great and their total crap, lol. And lets keep it on topic

    I'm running groundcontrols with tokico illuminas set at 2 in the front and 3 in the back with a 1.75" drop and it ride is good. i rate it at a 7.8. I just grew out of the slammed car faze with hella negative camber and buying new struts every 6 months and bouncing like crazy over every bump.

    - Eibach Pro-Kit
    - Koni Yellow's with adjustable spring perches
    - Front and Rear upper strut bars
    - DC Sports lower tie rod

    Still not done the next step will be replacing all my strut bushings with new OEM and adding some S/T sway bars front and rear.

    Currently I would have to rate the car an 8. That is if stock it where a 3 because after I got all that in it was a hell of an improvement. I wouldn't say comfort suffered at all but handling deffinately benefited. Can't wait to see how much body roll is cut out with the sway bar kit.

      I have ground controls with KYB GR2 gas shocks. I would rate it a 6 just because it is way too bouncy for my liking. I do not like the GR2 shocks at all(Just my opinion). I am looking into the Tein Super Street coilover kit.

      p.s.
      Sorry about the double post. This is the post I meant to type in the first place.

                sprint springs (2.25")
                koni yellows
                215/45/16
                well it handles a lot better then stock. I think its hard to actually give it a number cause I have so little experience. I can only compare to stock and I used to have bech-tech struts at one point. those were garbage. but yea Ill say 7

                  TEIN is tha ISH!

                  TEIN HA Dampers
                  Progress Camber Kit
                  No-Name Front Upper Strut Bar
                  No-Name Rear lower tie-bar

                  I love the adjustable ride height and stiffness.
                  The Camber Kit?... a must, unless you've got crazy paper to spend on rubber. Trust, that sh!t gets expensive. Especially if you're runnin p7000 supersports or Yokohama Spec-2's

                          I have:
                          Vogtland Springs
                          Tokico blue shocks

                          I would rate it a 5.

                          It is so bouncy and squeeky that I just want to put my oem suspension back on.
