Suspension , what to get?

[nduda78]

I'd like to do suspension on my vr4 now...lower it a tad. What is good? I know nothing about suspension. Coilovers? what brand?

Basically, my vr4 is a weekend driver, and thats scarce. It's done up for the track this year (1/4) but also for visual (showing at HIN).

Any recommendations on what I should look into?

so wait, you want to lower the car in your signature?? is it not already lowered? it looks SECKS though!!! but, if you want to go top of the line i believe people are VERY happy with either tein coilovers or JIC coilovers. both of which can be found on 3sx, and quite possibly IPS too.

but, then again the car is already- how do you say "the shit." lol

Well I think as long as you maintain the thought of what you want FROM your car, versus what you want FOR your car - I would say all you really need is a nice set of lowering springs and some adjustable rear upper control arms to get that drop. I would highly recommend the Tein S-tech springs - I prefer them to Intrax and Eibach for multiple reasons - mainly, just as low a drop as Intrax with a better ride (more or less). It will lower your car a good 1.5"-2" without making the ride teeth-rattlingly harsh.

I would only recommend coilovers if you were looking for more performance - otherwise, it's wasted $ in your case, imo.

Yep ^

Coilovers for performance, looks, and adjustability
Springs/Shocks for price, ride, and looks

Either way you go I think you'll need the adjustable rear control arms right?

Great looking car by the way!

Where can I get these adjustable control arms?

Those are the Tein S Tech springs that are very popular. Waiting on delivery of a set myself. Bought upper adjustable control arms from Maximal Performance. Best price I found. They are needed for adjusting camber after lowering.
