suspension opinions?

Featured Replies

looksing for some stiffer suspension on my loyale. does anyone know anything thats cheap and effective. and maybe something that will give me an inch or two more clearence? ive been looking on jcwhitney...

honda accord rear springs? search that and see what you find. No idea of the details, but that is one of the few "simple bolt ons" that there are..

 

"suspension options" dont really add up for the loyale.. there arent too many, and me posting saying this is probably the best way to get anyone else who DOES know about more than I do, to post up themselves...

well, an inch or 2 more clearance with just suspension = more stress....

 

if you're looking for the same, or lower, ride height and stiffer suspension components for some better handling. the options are limited. BUT, KYB does make their GR2s for EA82 cars. which are a bit stiffer than your average stock replacement shock/strut.

 

and you can get a set of Ground Control adjustable coilovers for an early impreza in any spring rate (yours has 146 lb/in front, and 196lb/in rear). and you'll have fully adjustable ride height, and stiffer springs. IMHO some 200/250s would be a nice upgrade for a comfortable yet sporty ride. these can be had for $2-300...

 

beyond that.....you'll need to upgrade to newer front suspension by converting the whole car to 5-lug. no small project, but if you want some really nice suspension.....100% worth it IMHO.

ok maybe i wasnt clear. im planning on putting a 3.5 sjr lift. car needs new struts anyway so all i want is something stiffer. not accord springs because i DONT want my suspension stressed to its max all the time. so do i have any other options?? i guess the gr2's with cut accord springs so it doest give the lift but rides stiffer in the rear. and rx suspension in front?
