Front Coilover Suspension

[mytight95]

Who runs coilovers on the front. I see all the kits the HAL, Strange, Granatelli. I am going to assume it would probably be in my best interest to stay away from the really cheap kits right? Who here runs what kits? Does anyone run a coilover on the tokico hp, or mach 1 strut?


Also kinda curious on the hypercoil springs, which is a good conpromise to let it lift in the front for the track, and to dial it back in for street handling.... seems the consensus would be a 12" 200-300lb. I did some searches etc., and it was debated between a couple different sizes with no one giving their results.

thanks

I run the MM coilover kit (front and rear). I went with the sport valve bilstein shocks (400 fr - 250 rear) so I can't talk about the drag rates. I like the tight sporty handling - not too concern about a soft ride. I am not too much into the track but more aggressive street handling.

Was looking at those but around 400$ for a kit for the tokicos seems high. I guess it's not bad though considering their rep. is impeccable.

this is the whole reason i made the thread, to see what the other options were, and if i don't hear of many success stories with other companies i will go MM

thanks for the reply(no one else is)

Hi...and bump

I'm running the MM's as well, they're the cheapest around. I'm running the drag 175lb springs with Strange struts, I love them. Front end pops up real nice.

The adjustability sucks though, you have to take all pressure off the spring to adjust them. But once they're adjusted they're fine.

I have the MMs as well! I wouldnt say there cheapest around...there the cheapest I would buy tho the others are junk. I really like them, its not like your going to adjust your car much so jacking up the front end then rear end isnt hard.

I have the hypercoil 325# springs in the front and I love it, handles great. Im using the Tokico Illuminas.

If you want a bit of a discount PM me and I can prob help you out

will do when i get ready to buy.....seems that is the only going option as far as reliability etc.


thanks
