Default discussing my wishlist for suspension stuff

Well.. this will be for a 95 coupe, but anyways, i sold quite a bit of stuff i had for my car, and i wanna get back into it.. and here's my little "wishlist" of plans i'm planning on starting to do once the money starts rolling in from my new job and stuff.

Currently, i still have:
Tokico Illumina Struts
Ground controls(regular rates)
Skunk2 Front camber kit
SPC RLCA's
Spoon rear lower tiebar


and well here's the list of shit i wanna get that i put together the other night, suggestions and what not would be great as i haven't researched anything at all as far as suspension goes in a long ass time.

here it is:

1. new gunmetal rims, either 15X7's or 16X7's, not sure what i want yet though, gotta be gunmetal, and not sure on what tires i'd want either

2. The PasswordJDM 3pt front strut bar


3. ASR rear subframe reinforcement kit


4. EM Racing's triangulated trunk bar/rear strut bar package


5. EM Racing's quick release C-Pillar bar


6. S/T swaybars (Front 1" & Rear 3/4")



then i'll want new seats/ harnesses most likely... a harness bar... and new coilovers... ugh, this is a bad idea haha
(i had sparco sprint seats before, but i sold them also )


edit: i'm also going to want to get new coilovers sometime also, what are some suggestions on those? i want a full coilover system, i don't feel like messing with custom GC rates and koni yellows and that whole route..

I'd honestly go for the custom GCs and Konis, they're a great set up and you save yourself quite a bit of cash over any comparable full coilover set up.

I liked them, i had the junior size seats which was fine for me, but a little tight on my friends. I took the passenger side out so i could carry friends slammed full in my car to the beach, and eventually i sold it because i went through a phase where i was like "fuck cars"

oh i know they're a great setup, i just don't wanna go through the hassle of getting the Koni's revalved and ordering custom rates. I'd rather just have it done for me(like if i was to buy a true coilover system) as sad as that sounds.



edit: after seeing EEK's post/copt from H-T of the hatch that had the rollbar in it and crashed, i think i'll eventually look into a rollbar that has the harness bar already on it. so now i need suggestions on that, and who can install them

Edit #2: Instead of the EM racing trunk setup, i'm probably going to wait on PasswordJDM to release their rear 4pt bar for the coupes, it's going to be half the price probably and seems as if it would work just as well, if not better... i just hope it'll be out in the next few months

Since you like bars.. why not get the lower front subframe brace from a 94+ Integra.

I didn't notice anything when I put mine on, but hey... your suspension setup is better than mine.

And on a side note, you can use 94+ Integra front lower control arms for your sway bars. Just thought I'd share that with you.

What size are those bars that your going to use? I'm going to be using a stock Ls front(22mm) and stock Gs-R rear(14mm). Edit*, haha, i need to read.

It works well here though.

What about brakes? I see nothing about upgraded brakes, or am I missing it?
