    Cant decide on setup!

    Im stuck between getting the Tokico shocks (zx2 ones) and eibach springs, or just get the Ground Control Coilover kit. Now with the ground control is it a real coil over kit? Or is it the sleeve (i think thats what they are called) kit. Basically im gonna autocross my car alot, and canyon runs etc. Im thinking more towards the ground control kit, just because it offers adjustability, and is about the same price as a spring/strut combo. Thanks!

    If the car's main purpose will be autocross, then get stiffer springs than the Eibachs. The MX-3 H&R springs or Ground Control coilovers is what you should be looking at. And no, the Ground Controls are not true coilovers.

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

      regular set-up
      ZX2 struts + springs

      GC setup
      ZX2 struts + sleeve kit

      either way, you need struts and springs.

      i went for about 8 months on eibachs, too soft for racing, stepped up to the MX3 H&Rs, now going to a full race coilover kit.

        Hehe Darryl, I wish I could have gotten those coilovers. :p: But these Eibachs are too damn soft... I should have listened to Gro Harlem!

                  Are the MX3 springs stiffer than the ones for the proteges?
