Hey I was wondering what's a good brand for some front coils and price as well..

Are u looking for a nice drag setup for maximum weight transfer, or a good street/road race setup?
 
Posted by D.R.E (Member # 10484) on :
 
Basically street set up

Well, it's a pricey setup, but I recommend a Maximum Motorsports Bilstein Coilover setup. The quality is top notch, handling is great, & the ride quality will actually improve over a standard lowering spring setup. Call them up & they will get you all the info you need & they are VERY helpful.

Ok thanks but are the UPR joints a good set up?

Popular opinion is that UPR stuff is junk.

I have the MM bilstein setup and really like how it rides compared to H&R race springs & Koni's

I have the Bilstein HDs with the MM coilover kits. And it rides like no other. It handles like a dream. My spring rate is 325 up front and 225 in the rear. IMO get the MM setup!! [patriot]

If you go with the MM setup, be sure u talk to them to get the right springs, based on what u want and plan to do with the car.

Thanks yea Iam leaning more towards mm setup I sure will

MM is the way to go but if you are on a budget, MMR makes a coilover setup that works pretty well.

what are you doing with the Car ? if ur just going for a drag suspension any will work, strange's kit uprs kit mmr's kit granatelli's kit but be warned they will make noise since there cheap kits, if your going for a track setup look at KW, MM or griggs you will be much more impressed with these setups for a track car
