SKperformance Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yeah i have heard they are hard to get a hold of but they have loads of parts. Start by getting SS brake lines and upgraded pads and rotors for a nice stage 1 start. I prefer tein ss suspension for any car for smoothness.

SKperformance Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I mod more than most view put together , so they are just learning like yourself. Which set of tein coilovers did you have for your civic , the SS suspension is really smooth even with large rims , i don' t like the other lines only cs and ss for being able to still be luxury with a sport edge almost bmw ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakataj Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 i had the tein flex i really hated them, switched them out for jic magic's and LOVED those but i always been happy with hks products! decisions,decisions lol........any suggestions on brake pads? i SEEN alot of big brake kits ofr my car i woulda never thought they offered! u know if supra swap is feasible and simple to do? i do have a exhaust ? coming soon.......... sorry bout the selling thing for my tv didn't read that i couldn't post a link to ebay.......just for future reference can i list a item #? thanks brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 flex are stiff so i would not like them , jic are not usually track coils more of a street cruiser. Still the SS are my preference. Project Mu makes great pads as well as ebc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_GS300 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I had the same dilima as you when it came to suspension upgrades but I ended up with the Tein CS (comfort sport) and it's a comfortable ride. Ride's slightly firmer than standard with the right settings but handles heaps better. It also depends on what u r setting your car up for i guess (race/hardcore or luxury). I wanted the big brakes upgrade kit but imo a simple stage 1 as SKperformance mentioned is enough unless u r looking at big power from engine mods/upgrades! My 2 cents worth...
