Default Waited and waited, but I've gotta start this 19" thread.

*So, my 92 SC with 151,xxx miles on it has killed the suspension and it is shot. The springs hardly compact and my shocks sound like a 132 yr old coughing in the morning after a long night of drinking Wild Turkey.

*Problem; most of you guys are running 17s or 18s so I can't base my decisions off your feedback because Im running 19s and I don't want my tires to rub off after a few corners on the track. I've been through literally tens of threads/suspension setups just as all of you who have aftermarket suspension have and still can't make up my mind.

*So, any guys/gals out there who are running 19s lemme know what your setup is and how you feel about it. As of right now, my interest lies with these...

and these...

who knows how they'll sit on my 19s.

Both links don't work.

IDK anyone would want 19s other than a horrid ride and even worse wear on everything.

i dunno man, hold out for a good deal on used coilovers!

my roomate picked up some used D2's for 500 shipped..

the only thing i hate about spring/shock combo's is you can't adjust your ride height..

I'm still running stock susp. but after 5 years of looking at threads, i think the best bet that I could find was the gixxer drew coil over setup.../shrug ive never read anything but good reviews from the people who have done it. Looking to get 19" wheels myself, so i will probably go with drews setup when i do.
