ok heres the deal i got about 800-1000 bucks i need to get new shocks and struts and maybe new springs...i was also thinking about gettin umi or hotchkis sfc's...should i spend extra money on struts to get koni sports or go kyb's and get the sbc's i was ganna get the eibach pro kit but i think i just ganna put stockers on it...inless i dont need new springs just might be really bad struts...what do you guys suggest??

 

I have the cheap performance shocks- monroe sensa-tracs. They seem to work well, I have no complaints after six years and around 10,000 miles. I have the hotchkis SFCs and Interco Springs, I saw the eibachs on another 3rd gen, and they don't lower it enough for me. The intercos are a full 2", while the eibachs are around a 1.5". Total package would be around 900 with shipping for the sensa tracs (400), springs (190), and SFCs (220). The ride afterwards is unbeatable though, and I love the twisties

 

my car alrdy sits rediculasly low i love how low it is...looks awesome...but the roads around here are not forgiving...pot holes everywhere...lots and lots of speed bumps in town...right now i guess what im tryin to decided is if i should go for nice struts and no sfc's for now or go ok/decent struts and sfc's...everyone feel free to post ur opinions i want to here it all

 

go with better stuts i am getin koni yellows and the pro kit with from spohn,and summit they cost in the 800-1000 rane and it will be cheaper in the long run in stead of gettin better shocks/stuts in abit

 

For rough roads I'd recommend the SFC's. Getting rid of a lot of the squeaks, creaks and groans while you're traveling is much more important, for me, than the slightly better performance you'll get from the more expensive shocks/struts.

Without SFC's your car won't even be able to take full advantage of the hyper-expensive suspension pieces.

Try the SFCs with KYBs for a while then decide if you need replacement springs.

 

Without a doubt, do SFC's and a steering brace aka wonderbar, if you don't have them already.

Then Koni Yellows and Eibach springs. Then poly bushings, adjustable top mounts etc etc.

Then all the other minutia if you feel you need it.

 

Get the Koni yellows you wont be sorry. SFC I am not currently able to use so I have no personal experience, though I would expect a nice improvement there.

 

you could give it to me...

 

haha very funny 86ta...

i think i just ganna go with kyb's i not ganna be doing any hardcore performance for while till i fully recover from car accidnet i was in few months ago...plus from what ive been reading up on sfc's sound like they are more then just something to add sounds like they are almost a requirment...just a matter of findind someone to install them..i know welders but nobody with equipment to lift car nice and lvl to weld them in...ehh one step at a time...thx for imput everyone...

 

That sounds perfect! I am unfamiliar with intercos? Do you have a link or a site you could offer?

 

def get some Spohn SFC's, no question there. find a quick ratio gearbox on ebay, and throw in a new ragjoint while you're down there. Then I'd go pro-kit and KYB-Gr2s. After that wonderbar/lca brackets. then poly up the swaybars.

 

i went with a umi sfcs they look better and stronger...gannaget kyb shocks and sturts and prokit...thx for word guys

 

If you're looking for someone to install SFCs, check some muffler/exhaust shops. Find one that's done a set before. Just make sure they (or you) remove the door sills and pull the carpet back away from them. The heat from welding can burn the carpet/plastic.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking...there is a local muffler shop that is quite popular around here...i was going to check them out thx for tip with carpet i will make sure i do that...
