Suspension Brands

Post by 91_ka24de »

Ive been to a couple drift events, and im starting to get it all down but i want to build up my suspenion more. im going for a decent/ aggressive camber. I have ISIS front coilovers and HKS Hiper dmax coilovers in the rear and front ISIS Tension rods.. Ive recently joined the Navy 6+months and im getting paid decent with hardly any bills. So im able to afford more legit sturdier reliable parts, other than before where i was TRYING to ball on a budget.. never works..

Gettin to the point.. Does anybody have any suggestions on which parts to look at? or any info/ comments or facts? ive been looking at these SPL TITANIUM arms they look pretty strong and durable.

theres also GKTech,CUSCO,STANCE ive been looking at. any body have any good luck/bad luck?

ive had ebay (motoria) arms on my car for 7 years and 60k miles. including upgraded heims and rubber boots, i spent less than that single set of arms.


front tension rods only effect caster. just the camber plates handle the camber. on s14 most seem to be maxed at 2.5*, 3.5 for s13. further camber requires slotting a coilover to knuckel mount or extending the control arms.

In regards to brands:

For coils go with stance/ fortune autos (the fortunate auto dynos look excellent btw) and if you just happen to have FAT MONEY STAX LAYING AROUND then KW motons or do a Koni setup (I have part numbers if you wanna do konis with swift springs)

for your suspension arms: Powered by max/ SPL /Whiteline make excellent parts worth the money...

and just in case (for reference purposes or if you jsut so happen to want to read more) this article drops knowledge:

lol as a side note i LOVE the motoiq site because they actually prove all their theories and make sense out of performance. Not this JDM/FAnboy nonsense that floats around the S-chassis ;|

Fortune 500 are awesome for the price. Also koni yellows + eibach coils are a great setup for around 900$. I wouldn't ever trust eBay suspension, I've ran eBay coils before and had a strut snap in half. Good thing o was only pulling put of the driveway when it happened.
Come at me bro

Fast
Reliable
Cheap;
You can only pick two, so choose wisely!
