Thread: so torn between suspension setup

    so torn between suspension setup

    Been doing some research on what to do with my suspension. I have an 06 evo 9mr and need to replace shocks. Was thinking if having them revalved and buying works springs. I don't track the car don't want it much lower than factory. I have considered some street coiloverr kits and was looking at kw variant 1, buddy club, k sport, etc. I'm really torn about a new set up. Any recommendations. I'm really thing if sticking with one if these brands as I can geta pretty good deal on them.

    My buddy had ksports on his 9. He never had anything bad to say about them.

    ^^^ It seems like a cost effective way to go with what your stated intention is would be Swifts on MR Bilsteins...then alignment by Muellerized...done. /thread.

    reopen thread/...but if you want baller ass coilovers that are silky on the streets, the Muellerized Ohlins would be hard to argue against...

    I had ksport blew out after a year. Better saving a couple hundred bucks more for some quality coilovers if you're gonna go that route

    Went with buddy club rs. Called them, and spoke to a rep. He was very helpful in explaining their cover and spring rates. Also really like that I can take it to them for a revalve in their Ontario office, which is 30 minutes away from me $120 and also offer a free 1 year spring replacement if you feel the spring rate is not to your liking. Overall I'm happy with my choice. Nice thing is my wife doesnt know his much they really cost. Lol
