Coilover LCA, ATA

[ShikoBariki]

Im starting my build i just purchased Perrin CAI + Inlet hose from ft86speedfactory.com check em out good people.

My next lineup is suspension, so far ive narrowed it down to these for my budget.
This is the wheel and rims fitment i am trying to achieve maybe slight changes on offset and camber. (Flush,slammed look)

Front 19x9.5+33 225/35 rear 19x10.5+35 245/35 camber of -1 +,-
Vip Modulars Vrc13s hella sick check em out.

1.)Stance Super Sport with stance LCA and probably later change the provide toe arms with Gt spec rear adjustable toe arms...

2.)K sport kontrol pro..ive watched youtube videos but i have yet to find someone who has these on to really get a perspective how it rides and how it is overall. If i was going with this set up i would got with Gtspec LCA, GTspec RA toe arms.

3.) BC racing..So far from the videos ive watch these three mostly ksport and bc are real similar. It just depends but ive read alot of complains BC knocking on certain circumstances and id hate to get something that knocks or what they say is "normal" i personally dont think so.

any suggestions to what coilovers i should get i have a budget of $1200-$1500 for the setup maybe more if i include LCA and rear toe arms but as of right now i got a great deal on Stance everything inlcuded LCA COILS, TOe arms.

also if you can give me feedback if i am missing some parts that i may need in order to achieve that slammed flush look.

Cheers!:happy0180:

Can you clarify why you are choosing those specific combinations? Is it due to budget? Also, excuse my ignorance but what company is "RA?"

[ShikoBariki]

Yes somewhat due to budget because as soon as i pick up suspension im on to catback exhaust then rims. Also i was asking for additional input or advice as to if i am missing anything as far as getting it stanced for now and later on better built. RA is rear adjustable toe arms, stance provides them when you purchase their coilovers but i was looking into switching it out to gtspec later on so if you guys can help me advice

I see. AFAIK, Stance does not include adjustable toe arms. They include adjustable front end links. What kind of alignment setting are you looking at? The rear will camber in naturally from lowering the car, the front will have camber plates. I got a ride from Chicago to STL and Stance SS with Stance LCAs and they felt great. More comfortable than stock, except when we went over a deer. But that's another story lol.

No personal experience with Ksport or BC. I know a few people on the forum run BC and GTSpec without issue. Never heard of anyone on this forum running KSport on the ZX chassis though.

What are your goals?

Why not look at ground control. They use Koni dampers for a start. Once you spec everything you want you might be stretching your budget a little, but the quality will be much better.

Why do you feel you'll need adjustable lower control arms, and toe arms? You can get a bushing for the stock toe arm to allow more adjustment room, and it's stiffer so you get 95% of the gain of an after market arm for all of $74.

And you can get adjustment bushing for the upper control arm that wont mess with the track width in the rear, again for a fraction of the price.

Or some have used a 'crash bolt' to replace the inner lower control arm bolt to get some adjustment. You might want to do some checking on this though, as I might not have the right bolt size.

He said slammed, flush look. I doubt those will get him the look he's going for.

[ShikoBariki]

thanks for the input i dont know if i would invest as of right now that much on suspension. Like i said once i get the right choice of coils ill probably do coils and LCA for now and get some rims and from then on do some adjustments as need to have the right fit. Correct me if im wrong those two parts should do for now unless i would want to camber more or do a little more as far as wheel fitment goes...

[EarlQHan]

Correct, coilovers and LCA will get you that look. You might need toe arms, but I am not 100%, it will largely depend on height and alignment.

ty thats what i was thinking. I wouldnt want to spend so much but if i did i would do it correctly not some cheap shortcut way..I indicated my set up or rims and tires uptop as you can see from there i would probably need the toe arms at somepoint to get the right camber since im going such a wide set up and most likely need my fenders rolled on back and front. Ive been reading alot about stance fortunes bc(got some complains i dont know if i want to take the risk of hearing the "knock") i know somebody said turn off TRC and VSC it'll stop but i dont know if im going to take the chances and as of ksport yes it is a rare set up as of right now nobody has a true review of them unless otherwise pls link

The ground control are dead center of your budget and use a quality damper. They're good stuff, and you really don't need the extras for what your goals. In fact, most of the extras, the camber plates and shock mounts, will probably add noise, vibration, and harshness. That's why they're optional, not everyone will want them. If you do need adjustable lower control arms to acheive the look you're after any after market LCA will work with these.

The other bushings I listed are also quality parts and if they'll work for you, they shouldn't mess with things that you aren't looking to change. Changing the length of the lower control arm effects toe changes more then changing the length of the upper control arm, and it effects the track width more. Both of these can cause undesired effects.

The crash bolt for the rear lower control arm isn't the 'by the book' way to do it, but it's still a valid way to acheive what you're looking for, if it's enough adjustment.

How low are you looking to go? I'm not really sure what low you need to go before you acheive the slammed look.
