First off i've got the flame suit on. I was reading on here about the koni sport kit...doesn't look like it's lowered at all. From your experience, which combination do you recommend with 17's? Something that actually looks lowered and doesn't cost over 8-900 for everything...so that means no air ride. Thanks.
I think for like 150 more you can get Gravana's coilovers which look like the best setup I have seen for j-body cars. He had a group purchase on those in the g.p. forum.
Gravanas, like Zach said, or the rksport kit.
yeah i saw those but haven't seen any pics with them on. Jim has taken alot of money from me already...why not some more.
Why do you need to see pics of them on the car? They are coilovers. You can set the height wherever you want (within reason). I think Dave posted some pics of them on his car though.
What is the difference between Gravana's Coilover kit and Rk's Pro Streets? I have the Pro Streets. Only thing I know of is the tender spring with the Pro Streets. Anything else?
Jim's come with adjustable shocks/struts. Thats a HUGE advantage in my book.
Sorry, not up on that too much. So you can basically adjust the strut? I thought that is what the threads were for and what not?
No, the threads are so you can adjust ride height. Jim's coilovers are "double adjustable" meaning you can compress the spring more to adjust ride height or adjust the perch for the spring (so that the spring isn't actually compressed). Adjustable struts/shocks allow you to change the firmness of the shocks. This is usefull for fine tuning your suspension.
Rk's coils have none of this.
I see, and how would one go about adjusting the struts? A dash mounted button??? I'm still learning, grrr. I knew the threads were to adjust ride height, just didn't understand the whole adjustable strut thing. Sorry for my lame a$$ questions!
Normally, you adjust them by turning a screw on top of the strut. On more expensive systems (not available for our cars) you can find a setup that is remote adjustable.
