suspension brand set-up

shift_jin · 08-21-2008, 09:50 PM

i am looking to find out the best or suspension parts for my s14. i had planned on getting all tein suspension parts ie. tie rods, coilovers, etc. do anybody think different? like using different brands for each part (well not trying to get all the different name brands).

could anybody give some different suspension parts company a grade? like i am staying away from megan racing parts and might give cusco a higher rating than tein.

is the name brand product like a greddy sway bar is 38 mm is better than a $100 cheaper sway bar that is generic 38 mm?

thanks for the help.

get SPL arms. they're awesome.

regarding the sway bars: thickness isn't all that matters. besides, some sways are made from hollow tubes, others are solid bars. but it really depends on your suspension setup and driving style. some people are fine with stock sways, some people remove them entirely, others drive very stiff ones...

tein's not too shabby, but i don't think they make all the suspension arms.. it might be left at tie rods and tension rods..

but SPL will probably do it if you want quality and are gonna pay for it too

+1 on Powered by max arms. I am running Stance GR+ coils, tein inner & outter tie rods and soon I will have all PBM arms. The tension & RUCAS(currently installed) from PBM are great. Tein won't have everything you need but no harm in a bit of mix n match as long as everything is quality.
