Pro's and con's

[red2005ss]

So we need to get some threads started again, I have read all of them.
What is everyone's take on Suspension kits?
Let's say the difference between the eibach sportlines and the pro kit.
Or maybe like a fully adjustable kit.
Obviously it's gonna depend on what you wanna do with your car.(drag race, road course, auto x).
Just tossing up subject's to get things going again.

Well my first comment here is that i've yet to discover the difference between sportlines and the pro kit. Personally i have the Eibach pro kit on my QC but that's only because of my previous statement and the fact that I never saw sportlines for the QC. :shrug:

Moving on, IMO the ultimate setup is a coilover suspension, as you can adjust that for anything you want in terms of looks, performance, etc. Ultimately it's something I'd like as I drive my car in the winter as well, and with the body kit and springs, it's damn low already. It'd be awesome to me to be able to adjust it to whatever I want whenever I want. Ride the pavement during show days, and crank it up during snow days :) The kit i'm considering for this is the KW Variant 2 that Granava sells. It is a good thing to note, though, that w/ coilover setups you nearly always want to go w/ a set of matching or upgraded struts or you'll get the "ricer bounce" effect on your lowered ride. That is why the proper setups (like the Variant) are more expensive than the B&G ones (red) that you'll see on ebay for just a couple hundred bucks.

The other setup I've often considered is drag-bags for my ride. Keep that rear suspension stiff for launches at the track. A few guys on RLF have them and, incidentally, they are the guys w/ the better 60' times and the better 1/4mi times. Throw in the fact that JCWhitney sells portable air compressors that run on 12v, and you could have a really cool drag bag setup that you can control right from the driver's seat :rocker:
