hi Guys
Suspension is on the top of my list. i have a few goals and trying to not do suspension over and over, i was hoping to obtain some insight and recommendations from all of you guys out there.
I am looking to see if anyone has any closeup pics with the stock rims with
- bilsteins and H&R springs
or
- bilsteins and Eibach springs
Or any other suggestions? ie: tien, neuspeed, etc. I am looking to just eliminate most of the fender gap, but i dont want to wear out the tires or any other parts of the car too too fast.( i am aware things will wear out faster once i lower the car, compared to stock, and i am willing to make some sacrifices.) Which brings me to my next question about front and or rear camber kits or do i need one with either one of these setups, since they dont lower as much as coil overs. etc. It would be nice to lower the car and keep the stock specs for a alignment. not sure that is possible)
As for ride quality, i was looking for something similar to stock but a bit stiffer. i am not interested in a jarring, ear wax clearing rough ride. Also, was hoping to see if there was also a combo that accomodated all those listed above as well as be adjustable height (up or down) and ride (stiffer of softer)
Last question is, which perch setting onthe Bilsteins to use as well? the upper or the lower with either the Eibach or the H&R in order to achieve the look i am looking for. Please keep in mind, i am not trying to slam the car... just lower enough to get rid of most of the gap.
I live in the SF bay area and unfortunately there are a significant amount of potholes and hills out here, so i need to be mindful of those items as well.
Is there anyone on this board that has the Eibach or H&R with Bilsteins and lives in the SF bay area that can meet up so i can see your setup in person with stock wheels?
Much appreciated!
