: Coil Over question(s)


06-10-2001, 10:41 PM
Whats the best coil over to get for a 200SX SE-R? B+G sport and Ground control seem to be the best, which one is better? money wise? performance wise?

How low will coil overs lower the car?

if i get 16 inch or 17 inch rims will these affect or interfer with anything? rub against the wheel well and stuff like that?

Thanks

If youre taliking adjustable coilovers, ground controls etc., then you can adjust them from a 0" to up to 4" drop on some brands. Since you can adjust them, it really doesnt matter what size wheel you run because you can adjust the gap.

where can I get info on the B&G set up? I have heard it was a shortened strut type set up. Anyone know?

Ive never heard of B&G but i have GC's and they are a breeze to adjust. Alot easier than skunkworks. Keep in mind that GC's come with eibach ERS springs (oooooh!) cant beat that. http://laf.cioe.com/~benbobbo/NonCGI/wink.gif

If you want a strut/spring combo, ive heard good things about motivational which come with shortened struts.

The B&G can be seen at www.importpartsplus.com. (http://www.importpartsplus.com.) Also don't forget the Motivational coilovers.

It'll be fine if you get the right offset. I don't know the offset you need, but somebody here will.

How much $$$$ do you have? Truechoice and ShockTek have $2000+ shortened strut body adjustable-damping coilovers.
