ground control/koni yellows

I have full Skunk2 Pro C coilovers on my 93 eg hatch, and they aren't too bad.

Go with Tein and throw in the EDFC module Had it on the WRX and loved it. Adjusting on the fly is neat.

If you aren't looking for adjustible ride hieght, go with Koni Yellows and whatever lowering spring ( Eibach, H&R, ect.)


My idea of performance and your idea are probably totally different. I've always had very stiff rates which are not the most comfortable thing on a street car

As far as suspension goes, stick to the germans for the best all around. H&R, Koni, Bilstein all make great products.

When I build another S2k, I'm going with Koni Yellows and a custom set of full coil springs on a threaded perch.

I don't like how short most coil over springs are.
I am running the Pss9;s and they are amazing coils. You cant go as low as most but performance wise they are amazing and not too bumpy. H&R coils go about an inch lower and know many people who are running them.

I had the Pss's but they were just too soft. I wish I could have had the 9's. FYI, you can remove the helper spring and go about another inch lower.

How often do you need to adjust dampening as you're driving? How often would you use it after the new/neatness of it wore off?

Eh....I guess. My husband used it all the time. He liked it stiff for everyday driving but if we went on a trip or if we were on the road for a long time he would adjust it so it was more comfortable.

It takes 5 seconds to manually adjust any of the setups we have been discussing. And you save how ever many hundreds of dollars the edfc costs. Put that money into a quality setup.

It was quality....to us. We liked it. And the EDFC is like $300. Not that much. What is quality to you may not be quality to someone else.
