hey guys just installed my springs yesterday and im wondering what struts/shocks would compliment it well like the Tokico D-Spec or the Eibach Prodampers or any other setup thats better..... and i am also wondering is the bumpsteer kit and larger ball joints necessary

[dannyboy281]

i have read the official suspension sticky but i am still wanting to here what you guys think

[ForestGRN_Ghost]

longer ball joints (steeda's ) arent nessessarry they just help aid drop.

bumpsteer always helps but once again not somthing that needs imediate attention

[Ryguy33]

i love my d-specs, but honestly if you dont care about adjusting get bilstiens

[dannyboy281]

thanks guys are the d specs hard to adjust the ride hight and i want the adjustment also can you post pics ryguy33 of your measurement clearance with your current set up also do you have the bumpsteer and the 2xballjoints

[Bullitt5339]

Unless you're racing autocross or road racing, and need the adjustability, get the Bilsteins.

Yeah, I love my D specs as well with my SS springs. I also have the X2ball joints and Bump steer from Steeda. I installed everything at once so i do not know how the car would of handled with out the BUmpsteer and X2s.

Adjusting D specs:
Front are extremely simple. Open the hood, Get your little adjustment tool out, stick it in the strut tower and turn.
Rears are a PITA if you do not buy the extended hose accessories

^ hey powershiftz can you post some good pics for me maybe some with measure measurements and the your exact current set up because what your running right now is exactly what i want to put in and reps will be given thanks man

i'm very happy with my bilstiens and would definitely recommend them. of course they are pricey, but they carry a lifetime warranty and are the best of the best as far as non adjustables go.

Steeda Bump Steer
Steeda X2 Ball joints

Is this what you want? I wasn't really sure. Let me know. Keep in mind my tire size for the sidewalls are 35

First two are at 2.25 inches from the tire to the fender( Front of car)



2.5 inches from tire to fender ( rear of car)

[BakerFX4]

^the 35 doesnt say anything unless you say how wide it is. a 265/35 is not the same height as a 305/35.

275/35/17 My bad.

~Pretty fat for the front end. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't mind not being able to cut the wheel all the way to the left/right.

'thanks for all the input guys i appreciate it anybody know where to get the best price on some d-specs looking to purchase them tomorrow so the i can do the install this weekend.... also its sitting a little low for my taste i guess it also has to do with the fact that im running 18s not 17s.... do you think that since i didnt replace the isos or my struts thats why its sitting so low....and when i get the d-spec will it help raise the stance a little and if i put in new isos will it raise up....... its the rear im more concerned about not so much the front.

[freefallin2000]

Why is Gods Holy name would you want it to sit higher?! I will tradr you my brand new ProKit for your Super Sports if you want....seriously. We would both be happy.

[dannyboy281]

i just would like it to sit higher in the rear and its because i guess i havent gotten used to it

[dannyboy281]

anybody else with any input on post #14..... please any input would be greatly appreciated and repped really need to place the order soon and looked on google for better pricing and ebay and still havent come across anything less than what steeda and AM are sell them at also anybody know who actually has them in stock AM is out and i get a discount with themm since im an mm member any discount applied for steeda

[dannyboy281]

bump

[PowerShiftz02GT]

I did not compare the D specs to the stock shocks/struts to see if there was a length difference but I do not think that will change the height at all, and I do not know how thick the aftermarket ISOs are. Also I bought my D specs new but at a discounted price from a member here who need to money for other things. I do not know how much cheaper you will find them than AM since you get a 6% discount through them.
Maybe you should sell the H&R and look at some Coilovers if you want adjustable height. Also, if you want adjustable height in the rear, Get an Adjustable Lower control arm?

[dannyboy281]

^ will adjustable lower control arms raise it in the rear and how do i know where to adjust it to or does it not matter not to in tune with suspension info
