Keep the Lovell springs and get Koni strut inserts would be the way to go for a good upgrade.

^^ Just replace the shock inserts. Can get full set for under $400.

Best place to go from buggered stock suspension? (antmcbane)

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:58:38 GMT

Car is a 1990 mr2 and runs stock suspension (apart from lowered springs - Lovell's from Perth). The suspension is buggered - will need 3 new shocks. 3 new ball joints etc and the links aren't great either (I got this car cheap in case you hadn't guessed).

Wondering what people recommend as the best place to go from here when basically everything needs to be replaced - I want to use it as a daily driver and I'll track it probably 2-3 times a year (so not that often).

My main consideration is a cost vs outcome situation - At the end of the day it seems like going to coilovers will not end up being that much more expensive than revamping the stock system or going to koni etc. But with that said are coilovers (BC's seem to come higly praised) so hard as to be unsuitable for daily or anything along those lines? Don't mind a hard ride but feeling like I might fly off the road is suboptimal :P
