sasha@lazytrips Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi guys, Looking for recommendations. Need to replace my suspension as mine is way past its sell-by date on high miles. Springs at the back are gone and fronts are pretty much gone too. Looking for some good quality suspension setup that will: a. NOT lower the car b. Provide good firm control c. Be suitable for long drives and road trips rather than action laps around a track Any recommendations welcome. Finding it hard to find good options which do not include lowering the car.

Ekona Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The BC Racing ones have the ability to be adjusted pretty much right up to the stock height, they'd be my choice. Failing that, it's back to OEM stuff otherwise as pretty much everything will lower the car to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Thanks! Which of the BC variants do I need to go for? Have no idea on suspension. Been on the factory one for 150k odd miles! Driving down to Greece this summer so need to get it into good shape!

Ekona Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Just the standard BR ones will do you, I've tried them myself on a 350 and they're adjustable right up to super squidgy for that OEM comfort too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Is it worth getting any new brackets underneath the car? Always wondered whether it would be worth it/make a difference. I mean the various brace types on sale at the usual places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The Summit stuff is excellent, especially the rear and front braces, so if budget allows I'd definitely grab some as they'll make as big a difference (if not more) to the handling than the suspension will. I adored them when I had them on mine, probably the best mod I ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahameJ Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 MeisterR Zeta-S Coilovers can also be set to stock ride height - mine are. Vast improvement over OEM shocks, firm and still supple over bumps. It's easy to adjust the damping settings, especially if you get the extenders for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks! Going to be a tough choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Can anybody please explain what I have to do when replacing rear suspension with coilovers? Do I have to reinforce the connection? How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoFriendlyAL Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 BUMP. I'm looking for a pair of rear springs for my 2004, no adjustment, no coilover etc etc, just the basic spring for normal height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
