I agree that Myles at Racecomp Engineering knows his stuff. He sells stuff that he actually has driven on. I got all my stuff through him.

 

Sorry San, I guess it pertains those who was running this setup here in hawaii or heard anything good.

 

sorry to ask but where is race comp engineering?? or is it in the mainland?? i was actually looking at the cobb sport springs.... thanks for the info.

 

They lower your car quite a bit...almost as low as the s-techs...but the rear looks as though it sags a bit...knowing that it is actually neutral stancewise, but due to the way the rear fender is made/cut.. it look like the rear is sagging...

I also had the Prodrive springs which doesn't lower the car all that much...but it sure rode nice as a daily driver...and no scraping...

Currently I am running the Cusco Zero-1's...as a daily driver they work great...no highway bounce...pretty firm, but not bad at all...not sure how they would do in autocross...haven't tried that yet...

I had the TEIN Flex's before and yeah...the wife did not like them at all...even with the EDFC set at the extremes...it was jarring...

 

Go to www.racecompengineering.com

Myles is da man and will get you what you need.

 

since its for your gf's ride...why not just put back the stock setup? nothing wrong with the stock setup for a daily ride.

 

i had tein flex too. changed to cusco zero 2r.

 

IMO coilovers are overkill for the street. A well matched spring and strut combo is more than enough. Hell, my setup was enough for local SCCA Solo competition.

 

This is true, but you are riding on struts that cost more than most people here are willing to spend on their entire suspension setup! You do have a very nice setup by the way.

 

depending on how much u are asking for ur flex's ill take them off ur hands asap =]

 

not if you drive like me!!

 

yo' ej20boost, jon m said to get tanabe nf210 springs 1.5" & 1.0" drop and KYB shocks. okie dokie smokie yeah!

Myles will sell your what you need, not what someone told you to buy. Very professional and knows his stuff. End of story.

I don't drive hard on the street, only at the track. In my previous cars I used to set them up for the 1% of driving I used to do at the monthly event Solo event. In other words, the car used to be stiff all the time. The car wasn't ideal on a daily basis.

Now I have a setup that allows me to have a comfortable ride 99% of the time and I can stiffen it up for that monthly race.

IMO coilovers have too little bump travel and too high spring rates for daily driving. Unless the roads that you drive on are smooth like a race circuit, then most coilovers will feel harsh. There are some high end systems that can do both, but they are custom setups which cost a lot of money.

I realize that in this day and age it's the "IN" thing to run coilovers.

Personally, I found a setup that works for me and my family. It took a lot of homework, but I found something that I like.

BTW here's a pic of my setup at work on the track.

thanks for the info....the ride height doesnt really matter(as long as its not too low or high).... as long as the ride is much better than the FLEX's.

actually its my car...... it got back issues and my gf doesnt really like the ride. and i still want to have a agressive stance.

ride good?? but expensive tho??
