I know practically everyone has d-spec struts, I'm just wondering are you guys running the full d-spec strut/spring combo or have you mixed it up any? I've got some Tein S-tech springs and REALLY need them to work well with d-spec struts. Will it fly?
I had the Tiens with my D-specs and it worked just fine. The rear sat almost stock height and the front was nice and low. I sold the springs and picked up some Sportline spings. Much better look and sits level.
The S.Techs are a relatively soft spring - so ride quality will be similar to stock, but they are progressive rate springs so if you push it in a corner you don't get nearly the roll you would as stock. As said though, the a55 sits high lol.
I have Sportlines on mine but I havent gotten around to installing them yet. I hear it is an excellent combo thats why I bought it.
hmm.... a level ride IS a necessity. can't have it lookin all mexican (no offense, if you're a brown guy). so d-specs and sportlines for a level ride...? ecocav, whats your wheel clearance in relation to your fender like? if i say pretty please, will you post a pic?
It will be a level ride as long as you arent packing a big system in the trunk. My car had almost level wheel gap with a trunk full of audioz but since I took it out it has the rake.
Rake is when the rear is higher than the front.
its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

This will give you an idea of how it sits
shadow, you fail.
ecocav, i'm definitely looking for more drop in the rear. but not to worry!! today i got koni yellows (which already just looks good on our yellow cavs
), and some gc coilovers. i do appreciate you posting that thread and pic!
have fun with the ground controls
i'm hoping that isn't a subliminal message like "they suck?" i've seen a few people on the org that love theirs. please tell me that was sincere, blu? lol
Ive never heard a bad thing about GCs besides the threads liek to seize up or get corroded if you drive in salty crappy winters stuff a lot buts thatll happen with about any coilover.
whew*
excellent news. i'm freakin STOKED now!
