For less than $500, I could get a set of Tein S tech installed with RRE's alignment. For $2100 I could get the magic John Muller tuned JIC FLA2 fully installed. For you suspension guru's and people who own springs and/or coilover, what is the best advice you could give me on what setup should I pick???? I want the look, and I want the performace as well. I did 3 track days last year, and I am planning to do at least 6 track days this year (road racing). Thanks!

 

Go coilover, lucky someone can tune for you.

 

I would say springs if you want look and a slight performance increase. But if you go to track days often and you know you need some better suspension after you tried your stock suspension on track, coilover is a great investment.

But $500 for springs, install and alignment... that is a lot of dough! Everyone's driving style and preference are different, I don't believe there is a single alignment recipe suit for everyone.

BTW, I went from H&R springs to Cusco Zero 2R's.

 

I think if I would go with coilovers, I will buy the corner balancing kit thats around 1k just to tune it. Another serious option for you but expensive

 

What is that? A kit? But I had done corner weight for about $200.

 

Yeap.. I have been using the stock suspension at the tracks. It works wonder besides a little body roll. I am ready to better my time on the track, and I am kind of sick of the fender gaps now. I'd like to do it right the first time, mainly because I do not want to spend $ too much. I have been thinking about just go with Tein S-tech with stock shocks (no more than $500), Tein coilver with non-adj damper ($1100), or Tein Flex with EDFC ($2000), or JIC FLA2 tuned by RRE ($2100).

Any other opinion from you all that been down this road before??

 

Get the coilovers, don't waste time with the springs if you want to see a big performance difference. If you are local to RRE, the JICs are a no-brainer as they will dial them in to suit your driving style and they are giving you a deal at $2100 installed and corner balanced.

 

Spend only once and do it wisely. I would say get some coilovers and you will ever regret it. I had springs and shocks on my integra and I thought that was good enough but I ended up changing to coilovers not soon after. I have hks hipermax II on my evo and I love them. I heard JIC tend to make a clunkin noise tho so I don't know if you wanna reconsider your options. Cusco, HKS, Zeal, and Ohlins are great...just my 2cents

 

ZEAL V6 offers front and rear camber plates, 6 way adjustable dampening, ride height and preload are independantly adjustable. Street and Race springs are available.

 

ummms... zeal only has fronts and rears for the evo i believe.. cause the evo is not mcpherson rears...

 

I have hard bad things about the RRE setup, like the last 8 adjustments makes no difference on the Dyno. If your comparing $500 to $2100 I would say you need something in the middle. The Omnipower coilovers have rave reviews I would recommend them.

 

What does RRE suspension setup have to do with Dyno? I thought suspension would make no difference at all on Dyno (hp, right)? I heard about the Omnipower. It doesnot adjust dampering, only ride height, right?

 

A spring dyno. The omnipower though is setup very well and does not require adjustable dampening via the struts.

 

dont you mean shock dyno?
also...
w/ coilovers..
dont forget with us having newer cars and all..these coils will be on the car for some time.. so take into consideration most of the brands out there are not rebuildable in us...
i believe the RRE is as well as Tein and Zeal

just something i would be wary about.. also stay away from springs especially on a tracked car. unless you can find a linear spring.. then it woud be ok.. but most are progressive and when pushed hard tend to take a lil bit to settle before coming to a comfortable pace.

 

i am tryingo to figure out what your post said...do you want to rephrase yourself?
