I bought a set of s-tech tein springs for 168 CND which is roughly 150 USD
but after a bit of research it seems that the way to go is coilovers?

I was going to go buy the KYB replacement shocks, tein s-tech springs with a RRM rear sway bar, lower tie bar, and perches


I'm thinking a set of Ksport coilovers would be a better idea?

whats your opinion?
I won't be autocrossing, but the roads where I am are REALLY rough, so I might as well be autocrossing

 

I have stechs springs and the roads around here are crap and they handle fine. Ride quality wise the s-techs are just as bumpy as stock, maybe a little more. With just the stechs they will feel like stock but handle alot better.

 

If you are not planning to AUTO X then there is really no need to spend about $800USD on the KSport Control Pro coilovers. The ride will be rough no matter what you drop it with.

If you're going with the springs you can also purchase the springs first, and then shocks etc later. Canadian_Canuck has been running Tein S Tech springs in Calgary, Alberta for a couple years.

 

right on, I think thats what I'll do.
Are the KYB's good? are there any other shocks available for RA's

 

Took the words right out of my mouth. I love my K Sports.....but they are not for everyone.
BTW----autocross is like a mini road race....should not be bumpy at all.

 

are there any members with the KYB shocks? are they a direct replacement?
warrenty?

 

realistic, did you ever come to a conclusion on this situation?
im looking at a lotta similar mods and options myself.
