Ok, I want to do the suspension but I got a couple ??s.
Is it better to get a low end
Air ride,
or a higher end
shocks/springs kit?
Its my DD so I don't race with it, but the ones in there are gettin kinda rough so they gotta go.
Thx!
higher end struts/springs. my reasoning with that is, if you go a low-end air kit, you never know what you're really going to get. Whereas with the struts/springs, you know you're going to get what could be close to the top of the line stuff.
But in the end, it's up to you to decide. Do you want "slammed one minute, stock height the next" or something that could possibly be a fun DD for tighter corners?
That airride kit will not work in our cars. The bags for our cars need to be a special bag/strut combo.
My cav is my DD and i dont have any problems with my airride. If you want bags, get the easystreet kit that is made for our cars.

right. what you have linked is for a truck and not for our cars, unless you fab up some custom mounts and run straight bags with no struts.
you can piece together a decent air ride kit for the same price as a goo coilover system.
I agree with everything said so far.
Check the classifieds here, there were several air ride setups going for cheap made for the car.
You would spend TONS fabbing up everything to make that bag kit work for your car, you would be able to buy 3 easystreet kits.
Talk to Jason at A+ Performance, he sells air ride kits at the best price anywhere.

why Jason.....whatever do you mean??
High end strut/spring
Last thing you need is a half-assed air-ride that leaks so your stuck scraping along everywhere.
I think the cost is comperable for a nice air ride vs strut/springs, but I'm unsure.
My vote would be for TEIN SS but thats what I have so I'm a little opinionated on it.

coming from a guy that has had both (easystreet air ride and the tein ss with edfc) i would take the teins again. i love bags but on a daily driver i hate doing the maintanance that comes along with air ride.
Good info, thx guys I'm thinkin I'm gonna go with a koni setup.

good ole coil overs.I may be looking into them in the future, which brand do you have and what would you suggest?
these would probably be going on either KYB AGX's or Tokico D-Specs.

he has air ride not coilovers and coilovers will not work with agx struts and those struts will not handle that type of drop
