im looking to even out the gap between the wheel in the front fender with the back fender and may be droping the car a like and inch more at the back and i want a suspension that is just a little bit stiffer than the stock. what brand and type would you guys suggest? and would it be coilover or not and why.

 

i'm also asking that question anyway from my research, get the prodrive springs. using stock shocks or not should be fine.

 

Mauro Motorsports had Prodrive P1 springs for $219 shipped for the GC8 that is. Check them out

Here are some links that have pic's of Whiteline, SPT, Perrins and Prodrives https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...threadid=56577 https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...odrive+springs https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...5&pagenumber=2. I have SPT's and I am planning on selling them after I buy a set of prodrives since they seem to even the wheel gap more than others and the drop isnt too drastic.

Check out the reviews section before you buy https://www.i-club.com/reviews/showcat.php?cat=43.

 

The Tein S-Techs and Perrin springs even out the gaps well. Neither are great for the stock shocks, but they will give you the look you're going for.

 

Prodrive is very popular for exactly what you mentioned -- even wheel gap and slightly stiffer ride. I have it with KYB AGX struts on my GDA and am pretty happy with them.

 

prodrives all the way i think if you want simple

 

I would prefer prodrive springs and some shocks .. cos you are taking out your suspension apart anyway . and u will probably want stiffer shocks later .. might as well put it in and save some more labour

 

It also depends on if you plan on running bigger tires and wheels. I'm running Espelir ASD springs and they're about 1.4" front and .8 in the rear. To me, the front drop is perfect. The wheel(stock) isn't tucked into the fender nor is the gap extremely hideous. Even at a .8" drop in the rear, I personally think it would better if it was maybe only a .5" drop in the rear.

Here are some pics..





hope this helps.
