Usual indecisive suspension question
 

So I'm Thinking around here i'm gonna need some adjustability, so how does skunk2 coilovers on kyb agx's sound? I'm hoping to make it to a couple autocross track days, and just all around spirited driving, but I have to d.d. it, so.....? Also the requisite sways and end links are going on, probably first. Any advice would really help out alot, Thanks in advance!



Chris :wink:

First off, skunk2 is eBay junk, I honestly wouldn't use it for free. That said, even a good set of ground Control with rates match to AGXs is probably overkill for what you want. If you're looking for part-time autocross improvement without sacrificing ride comfort, just get the AGXs and a good set of springs like STi pinks or Prodrives along with a set of adjustable sway bars. If you really want improvement, there are some good full coilover choices that help the handling a lot without killing ride quality. I just don't know if you'll get the extra $1,000 of performance out of them compared to the spring/strut combo.

Kevin is right but dont forget the top mounts and end links with the pinks or the PRODRIVES you will be happy Skunk2 is for a guy running a 92 95 honda civic a car that weighs 2600lbs and less than 100whp :!:

Righteous, thanks guys, oh wait, what about the hotchkis kit? supposed to be engineered to work perfectly together, any thoughts?

Hotchkiss is pretty good stuff, but I don;t think they make an RS front sway bar, and you can't use a WRX one. But, for $600, you can still do some good things. I'd get a few things from Whiteline (oh wait, I did... :P) such as a rear sway, solid endlinks, mounts, springs, steering rack bushings, rear subframe lock bolts, and maybe a rear strut brace.
