Suspension configuration for Québec's tough road

Post by Brainless »

I want to upgrade my suspension but I don't know what I sould do because driving on quebec's road is almost like driving offroad. Any suggestion, softer struts, I don't know??<P>------------------<BR>Brainless<BR>93 Red RS<BR><A HREF="http://www.Geocities.com/j_micho" TARGET=_blank>geocities.com/j_micho</A> <B>(last update 07-09-2001)</B>

I live in Qc city and I do have aftermarket struts & springs and they do indeed work very well.....the ride is perhaps a little bit harsher but not by a lot and it comes normally anyways as the car has less travel because it is 1.5/1.3 inches lowes front and back......H&R is in my opinion and to the opinion of many, the best spring you can buy as they make all the springs for eibach...german made, they're really good! and as for the shocks i bought kyb GR2 to go with my H&R.....the kyb is not the hardest shock you can buy but it is still quite harder than what you get stock with the car......in my case the strut and the spring seem to work very well together, ride is maybe a little harsher like i said before but it is still fairly comfortable(its an mx3), there are no knocks or anything like that which is normally the result from buying cheap springs or struts, the suspension soaks up everything very well!
