picking out suspension

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 14:25

Ok it is time for me to get a new suspension because mine are shot!

i was thinking KYB GR2's and Eibach Pro kit that would coust me about $450 with everything i need to get it done right. now im not made of money so if anyone can think of a better setup for this amount of money or is this the best i can get? please help a kid out!

Url with the stuff i will need Suspension

Thanks everyone!

GR2's suck with lowering springs, as I've said a thousand times. Get Tokico HP's instead.

Pro-Kit =

Off topic, but is your age wrong? How can you be 15 and buying suspension parts? Don't you need to be 16 to drive?

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 20:20

no its right im only 15 i got the car handed done to me(FOR $1200) and to get her road ready i need a whole new suspension. im hoping not to have to spend $530 because i have A LOT of other money to put in the car and i dont have a very good job

so does anyone know a place where i can tokico Hp's for less than $340??

Thanks Beemsmx6

AHH!!!! a little off topic, again... a fellow 15'r, but im 16 now, just got my license/turned 16 last monday! i had to get my 6 ready too, but im also doing a lot more.. and mine still isnt ready..

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 20:32

lol i have a BIG list that i need including clutch flywheel engine mounts both head and valve cover gaskets headers n down pipe and more. i just had from the cat to the back installed. i feel like theres a never ending hole in my pocket

i have all summer to fix it up tho. i get my lisence in decmeber

**EyeLovetheMx6** · 5-14-07, 20:34

haha, ohh i know how u feel, ive already put in about a grand of my own money into my car, and yeah, do you do the work?

**red_mazda_mx6** · 5-14-07, 20:44

k sports really are the way to go. if you want lowering, you have to save. KYBs aren't going to last any longer than stock with lowering springs. and cheap lowering springs and cheap "coilovers" give bad ride quality and can seriously hurt your handling. tokicos are good but for price of those and good springs you are so close to ksport pricing, its best to get the them since you can adjust everything to your liking.

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 20:44

yeah ive done everything but the exhaust cuz that had to be welded on and i obviously cant do that lol. i saw ur cardomain looks liek shes comming along nicley. what color are you planning on painting her? unfortunally i wont have the funds when im done to paint it so shes gunna stay green. i really only plan to daily drive the car through highschool untill i can afford a bimmer as my brother did. IM NOT getting rid of the 6 it will just turn into the project car

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 20:45

do you have a website where i can look at some k-Sports and price. i really cant keep bumping up the price i have enough other stuff to spend money on like clutch n flywheel

**EyeLovetheMx6** · 5-14-07, 20:49

haha, my car is going to be white, with a black top (but more two tone type thing) its probably getting the black on wednesday, so ill keep u posted.

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 20:50

sounds good. im looking into those k-sports but its looking out of my price range....

**Kansas** · 5-14-07, 21:11

ksports are waaaaaaaaaay out of your range

**LS trauma** · 5-14-07, 21:20

Id say the best bang for your buck will be some Dropzone springs on tokico struts. All together that will cost you about 450.
Kybs are just stock replacements and wont last too long on lowering springs.

**Beemsmx6** · 5-14-07, 21:35

ok which tokicos tho Hp's? and i know absolutley nothing about dropzones so im going ot go search so if anyone could put up a website with some and how much thad be greeat
