What suspension set up do you guys recommend for a 2.8l? looking to slap on some 18" wheels in the future, thanks!

 

I just ordered the eibach pro system plus and hope to get it put in next week. What are you looking for though? Do you want to slam it or lower it just a little? Any suspension will upgrade the handling and response.

Here are a brands that people commonly use:

H&R, Neuspeed, or Eibach springs

Koni or Bilstein shocks

Some do sways some don't. Coilovers are another option.

 

What's kinda popular is H&R Sport Springs w/ S4 shocks.

 

how much did you pay for it?? and how much is it supposed to lower it??
i never really looked into that setup...

I think im goiing for the H&R race springs and bilstein sport shocks what do you guys think about that?? i just wanna lower it a lil to get some 18s...

 

I paid $930 for springs, shocks, and sways. It is supposed to lower between 1-1.5". I'm not exactly sure how it will turn out but I'll let you know after I get in.

 

H&R Race springs are more than a "little" lowering, although not as low as you can make the car with coilovers. For a more moderate drop, look at their street setup.

 

that'd be awesome! make sure you take some before and after pics but sounds like a pretty good deal, with the sways...

i think im lookin to lower it a lil bit closer to 2" (kinda like my sig) and i deffinately want some better handling, plus those H&R are progresive springs so thats another good thing... i wish i could afford coilovers, maybe when im done w/ college. speakin of cheap coilovers what do you guys think of the ones for stratmosphere, i think they're called vmaxx heres the link

for that price i would suggest getting koni coilovers. you won't be dissappointed

 

anyone know where I can get coilovers for a 2.8 with fwd? It is damn near impossible to get some for a reasonable price. Also really hard to find coilovers for a 2.8 fwd.

 

yeah get some H&R race springs for sure.
