Like it says, wanted to wait until my fiance got back from Germany to go down and get the srt-4, but I stopped in yesterday and they sold it. So it looks like I'm gonna end up keeping my 89 hatch for a little while longer. In the mean time, how can I improve the ride quality of the car? I have skank2 c/o's over tokico 5-way adjustable shocks, and even with it's monstrous curb height with these dookie 17" wheels it still rides like a bouncing brick. :P I'm thinking of ditching the c/o's completely and just buying a set of Tein S-tech springs and I'd like to drop to a 15" wheel and a 50 series tire, but only if it'll improve the ride. A heavier car might help out some, and the roads where I live definitely aren't the greatest. What's a good setup that can lower my curb height and still keep a more wrx-feeling ride quality? At the same time I don't want to end up with 3" gaps between the wheels and the fenders, so give me some ideas here. I'm getting tired of driving around in a bouncy tuna can that feels like it has hydro's for a suspension. :1

If this stuff works out, maybe I'll keep the car a while longer and take out a small loan to finish off the little stuff and build another boost build...this time with a built LS/vtec block.

 

skunk2 coilovers=your problem



Want baller stuff go with the koni race stuff. Its pricey but the car I rod in with them was just a blast



If your budget based go with some ground control coilovers

 

your fiancée fucked alot of guys in germany.

 

go work on your car

 

waiting to get off work

just picked up the engine hoist last night...

 

Skunk2 = over price cdm junk. Ground control coil over FTW. Also 17's with low pro's = hard ride also.

 

my 17's actually ride pretty good on the highway and around town. the only issue i think i have is blown rear shocks im thinkin about picking up some tokico blues and putting on my cheap *** coilover kit... but then again i might hold out and build a motor first............

 

Sounds like you know what you have to do, so get to it.

Ditch the 17's, pick up some real S-techs or a similar spring, and get some 15's with a 50 series tire.

 

ground controls are by far worth the money. Eibach springs are a huge company that is respected for a reason and why ground control uses them in their kits




I like sprint springs has well but the ground controls have been my fav

 

konis/ground controls here, wouldn't change a thing.
