Hi Guys

 

Currently have Eibach lowering springs, with Koni adjustable shocks. Have since had a bodykit fitted, with a strosec front bumper, this has made the car look lower at the front, about 70mm off the ground. The trouble is the front is hitting slight bumps so plan on bitting the bullet and fitting Tein suspension, with EDFC. the question is which sort ??

 

They do two sorts Super Street with upper mounts and Mono Flex, the Mono flex looks more for track than street.

 

I do not plan on using it as a track car, more of show car. I already have stillen roll bars adjustable tension rods and a BIG set of AP brakes. Which Tein setup would you recommend?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Regards

You may find that the tein's even on their highest setting will be as low or lower than your current setup. The EDFC only alters damping, and not ride height.

 

Im suprised your having ride height issues now though, the eibachs are barely any lower than stock yet I know of quite a few strosek kitted owners suspension running a LOT lower than stock, but they do have issues with speed bumps.

 

Anyway, the Superstreets are your entry level coilovers. The main downside to them is that they do not have independent adjustable height. Which means, although you can adjust the height, in doing so your also adjusting the load on the spring. So lower=stiffer, heigher=softer.

 

The monoflex is a far superior coilover, with monotube dampers and independent ride height.

 

Personally if you were looking the monoflex, then I would consider the SPL/Powertrix/KTS/HSD (all manufactured by HSD) coilovers. Which are similar spec and quality to the Monoflex, but for the price of the superstreets. They have a very strong following in the states and very highly regarded in this price brackets (the next price bracket being 2k upwards competition track dedicated coilovers). You dont have the EDFC option though, but they do also offer a Road version, which has additional "helper springs" designed to soak up the smaller bumps, while the main spring handles the larger bumps and forces put on the car, whch results in a smoother ride for the road.
