the bounce that everyone always talks about has finally gotten to me

right now i dont even have the $$ a coilover set

but even if i did i still hear ppl talking about a certain rattle

whats that all about

To bounce or to rattle...that is the question

 

See Koni thread below or go with the NISMO S-Tune IMHO.

 

My HKS LS+ coilovers have no rattle whatsoever.

 

My S-Tune has no rattles or bounce

 

well...i guess ifi save enough $$ i will be more serious about this mod

how much will install cost (and dont tell me thats its easy and i can do it myself )

but then if i spend 1500 on this my FI fund starts alllllll over

 

I have the KW's on my car. They have zero bonce and zero rattles. I just love these coilovers...

I also have a group buy running in the Group Buy section.

 

OUCH!
You just missed the sale on the S-Tune. I got mine for $1,300.00
Looks like they're up to $1,600.00 there now.

if i could..i would buy everyones coilovers...but i cant

 

oops, sorry, i should have read.

I know a good solution though and it's still a coilover.

Tein Basic usually goes for $800 for the whole coilover set. You can adjust ride height on it, but not damping.

 

i have to read into it much more to understand what is good for me...

i know this is an extremely ignorant question..but coilovers replace shocks but not springs right??

 

they replace both, so this is a better buy than the NISMO IMHO.

 

Well, the basics are the cheapest out there and some have said that they are quite good. I'm with you on the price thing though, why spend so much money on one thing when there are so many things out there to purchase. The Nismos are OK, but spending that much money on a set of coilovers with no height adjustability is just too much money for them, IMO.

 

Who cares about height adjustment. I want the car to handle and ride better. The car is low enough stock. The S-Tune drops it 20mm. I'll go no lower.

 

Just wondering...you've been talking about a suspension kit for your ride for how long now?!?
When are you going to do it?!?

 

When I have the $. Would you care to contribute to my fund? Actually I will probably wait till spring and decide between the S-Tune or Konis. You say the bounce is gone with the S-Tunes?

 

There are several GREAT suspensions out there now. If warranty is a question you need to go with Nismo!! If not you should find some local members and ride in their cars. Whatever you decide, it's pretty hard to make a wrong choice.

 

From what I have heard, the S-tunes do provide a fix to the bounce, but you have to say what you mean by "ride better". Riding better means stiffer for autox or for cruising around town?? Makes a big difference.
