Help with RS suspension choices, or leave stock?

NowaChevyGuy · 01-19-2019, 08:08 PM

Hi all, sorry if this has already been covered, if so please link me.

I have a 16 RS. 3.27 gears, Trifecta tune, BMR sway bars, lower trailing arms and rear brace going in soon.

I am thinking of doing springs or coilovers. The wife has been driving it and pretty much killed my front struts not paying attention to hard bumps on San Bernardino crappy roads. I'm not looking to slam it but a little lower I wouldn't mind. I've been looking at the Megan EZ coilovers but not sure if I should just stick with springs and struts. It's a daily driver. I hwy race but no track time as of yet.

Any info would be great. Pics are a little old but stance is the same.

Thanks all.

i'd do air bag suspension over coils now a days. Not sure what springs fit the RS but eibach pro kit seems to be a favorite for the SS

What kind of price range is an air system like that?

Air bags are not a performance mod. If you just want looks and want to add weight and complexity then go for it but nobody serious about increasing cornering performance even considers airbags.
