[C8V6C]

Dunno if there is a thread like this already, but 2min of searching didn't come up with anything...

Some of the new guys have been asking me about suspension setups and what gets the car as low as it needs to be! Post up your strut/spring/coilover/etc setup so we can all see the stance. Make sure you post pics!

I'll start!


Tokico Illuminas
1000# H&R springs
88-00 Ebay coilover sleeves
Stock Tbars realigned

(I'll update mine later since these aren't the best pics...)

Post yours up!

pfff. no digital camera...but use your imagination (these all look the same underneath anyhow):

teg torsions resplined, cut teg rear springs, kyb shocks. 2" all around drop. simple and cheap.

c8v6c, you're running stock torsions with 1000# rear springs?! with a b-swap?!?! you bottom out the front much? i found my stock torsions were too bouncy and bottomed out my shocks after i resplined.

[C8V6C]

Yes

I'll eventually compliment with 31mm bars

I have the TEIN (MP) kit to install but that will be after the body work is done, but I hope to keep the stance close to current, maybe a little lower up front, may have to re-index the Teg t-bars to do that.
