i want to improve the suspension on the car, i dont want 2 use coilovers (2 stiff) just want a good shock and spring set up that would give the car a lower look and improve the handeling of the car, its not for drifting etc so no need for coilovers, i am going to install the rb25det, keep this in mind when recommending

thanks

Tein Super Streets... 5kg front, and 4kg rear spring rates.. Height adjustable.

Pretty good value too if I remember correctly... Bilstein option may be worth looking further into as well

Coilovers are only hard if you have hard springs in them. Mine arent too bad as my springs refect that. So you need to look at spring rate.

That said if you dont want coilovers thats fine. Id be going the bilstein option either way you run. They are the best bang for buck shock you can get (they are not the cheapest tho, just the next best is x4 or so the price). I've got them on mine and love them. If you want the bilsteins best bet is to PM Sydney Kid.

yea bilstein is the way to go .......i had my jic coilovers rebuilt with biltsetin inserts and softer spring was 8k front and 6 rear and swapped the rears in to the front and gots some new eibach springs for the rear and its is so much nicer now .....bilsteins made a huge difference.

i had initially just swapped int he softer springs but it was handling badly... but when the bilsteins went in it made a huge difference ....ie nice to cruise with... takes out the smaller bumpers but stiffens up heaps in cornering .....still alot firmer than stock though

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
