The stock suspension on my accent has to go. I am stuck between getting the KORE full coilovers or a set of drop (eibach, apex, b&g, etc)springs and adjustable shocks.
My car is a daily driver, and will be for quite some time. I plan to do some drag racing and autocross, as well as the occasional time trial at the local race tracks. I also need the car to have good ride quality as I will be drving long distances every few months (like 600+ miles). Money is a consideration, but is not my main concern.
Any suggestions?

I would go with coilovers if you are willing to spend the extra $1000+<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

Of course dave, you know my opinion on this!! coilovers all the way if u have the money... they are adjustable <img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0> springs aren't dude. Springs are mostly for look, coilovers are for true racers!!!

I'm sorry man, but what the hell was that guy talking about $1000?<img src=/images/forums/snitz/uhh.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>No disrespect or anything, but I recently bought the Weapon*R coil over/sleeve suspension kit for my 96' Accent from Nopi (you can get the phone# from any Super Street), and I only paid like 3 hundred and some for them! I would definately recommend them to anyone. However, if you buy them, for the love of god, buy upgrade shocks on the front and rear!! If not, you'll look like a bowl of jello bouncing down the road! I bought the KYB shocks for mine and they were only like 95 bucks each. Meaning $380 plus the coil overs $315 (not totally sure, but close) which equaled $695 plus a little for shipping! Oh yeah, buy coil overs!<img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>
Uhm, are you talking about True Coilovers or Coilover sleeves, I believe autobot was referring to "True Coilovers" which are around 1000 dollars or so, I'm buying apexi's true coilovers, they will be around 1400 dollars with a 4 inch drop, but they are light and a awesome product.
right lantra, that's what both I and autobot were taking about, adjustable suspension using spring... read coilovers... which are in the 1000+ category!
