Ive been looking at upgrading my suspension for a while and dont know what to go for.  Ive mainly been looking at the Tein Superstreet but have found these on rx7store.

Which kits do people recommend, im mainly using the car for Street but also want to do the odd track day.

Anyone used the GReddy, Apexi or Megan Racing kits?? they work out cheaper than the Tein as they have the Top Mounts.

You pay for what you get with tein. I have had nothing but bad experinces with every set i have ever used.... rubbish IMO i wouldn\'t go near them. BUT i know many people use them and rave about them

Depends on how much you want to pay, what your using it for. I would Say Tanabe or Zeal every time just due to thier contrustion and materials they are made with. Apex\'i again are very good but will give a harshish ride on bumpy roads.

If it was me and was for a street car i would get a new set of Bilstien shocks with Tanabe springs, replace the bushes and get a set of decent antiroll bars. The reason for this is that for fast road use with this softer set up you won\'t bounce or skip around the corners like you may do with some coilovers that have a harder ride. there will be a little more movement, not roll, which will help the car grip of those a and b roads

just my 2pence

anyone used the Megan Racing kit?

I will have a look into the tanabe and bilstein cheers

McCARTHY

Megan Racing Will be a very stiff set up aimed at drifting if my memory serves me right. I appriciate that they have meny adjustment levels  but this is usually for fine tuning for track use. 12kg/mm springs i think they use. Quite harsh on the road. They are very well built though.

i was looking at getting the Tein superstreet and could get them over here for around £700, just having a look around to see if there is anything a bit better and cheaper really, thanks for the help

McCARTHY

I\'d much rather go for the G-Force ones over the Teins. Same kind of price.

chrisJDM

so are Tanabe a good make???

ive found this site, looks quite good
