I'm just looking for a 1.5" drop max without sacrificing much performance and rideability. I've narrowed down to this 2. Should I still go for coils if my main focus is basically getting rid of the wheel gap? I really don't like the slammed car look IMO. btw, I'm pairing that with 18x9.5 +38 wheels and 245/35 tires all around.

Yes just get Sportlines. Coilovers add more complexity and cost. You only need coilovers if you want to change your suspension settings periodically. With either option you should get an alignment and at least front camber correction bolts.

alignment will be definitely needed and right on the money about the adjustable camber bolts as well. also, will definitely upgrade the shocks to konis further down the line.

So getting sportline coils for a nice drop. Can you get a bit of camber with stock bolts? Or you need to get new ones?

Are rear camber bolts needed?
I'm considering this suspension

Great review. Perfect drop. Can't beat it.

yelotoxbop · 01-22-2013, 02:13 PM

i have put these springs in my gen one xb and have had trouble with my front end loosing grip. i went from 1.5 drop to 2in drop but i also put hotchkiss comp sway bars on to and thats where i went wrong. i need to get the stiffer spings back in so i get no body roll to unload the rt or lt tire. i am willing to trade for some stiffer srings if any one has stiffer springs they want to trade or change some where if a shop is available. i have front and rear comp sway bars and strut tower bar with ft and rear frame braces with tokico struts and shocks also polys she handels nice. i live in San Andreas but am at my moms house in San Leandro ca. any takers

This setup is the MOST logical.

Rear ..... if want to get camber correct WL adjustable UCA bushings at a minimum, cheap but costly labor. Other route LCA and toe links...Front WL Cambers or stock crash bolts "if" can get desired camber.

Ordered my set today! Can't wait.

FT-86 SpeedFactory · 07-02-2013, 12:36 AM

Sprotlines are great.

713_GT86 · 07-14-2013, 09:42 PM
