Question about springs...

I need to add I am actually running the 1.5 suspension kit from FM. This includes the FM upper shock mounts. The ride is great and handling is awsome.

Good stuff... I was still kinda thinking about the Racing Beat springs till I read that thread. One question:

Overall, my car handles well and I didn't see a huge difference in street driving from my setup vs. Jonwag's TEINs. Dunno about the track but again, I'm pretty pleased with how my car performs on the track as well.

I got a great deal on my setup but if I had to pay retail, I would save up a few more ::2Dollar: and get some TEIN coilovers.

It depends really on your expectations.

Exactly as I have and did. In hind sight I'd waited to get the Flex but I already had the AGX and FM gave me a great deal on the GC after having to send back 2 sets of their first gen NA springs. ::Rant::


If you want a fairly stock ride then just replace the shocks with either the AGX so you can stiffen them if you do an autoX or the Koni's for the same reason plus they do have a little bit of height adjustment with the perches. Otherwise you'd be spending say ~$300-400 for the shocks and ~ another $200 for springs making it around half the price of a nice coilover set, in which I'd say save up an extra month and do it right with the coilovers such as the Tein Flex.::2Cents::
