I'm having trouble finding suspension upgrade components... all of the complete kits I am seeing say they don't work on the ti, what with the e30 rear suspension. Does anyone know where a complete kit could be found for the 95? I'm looking for a slight drop and performance upgrade if possible, but honestly even the stock components would be better than my bouncy current situation. I have looked here a bit but most of the threads are pretty old with a lot of dead links. I plan to have a local shop install, but would like to buy the parts in advance. Thank you in advance. | | | 01-30-2021, 04:47 AM | #2 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!

And they generally have the best price on Bilstein so it should be competitive too. | | | 02-08-2021, 05:01 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2012 Location: Dodging potholes in SoCal Posts: 454 | Welcome to the org!

I am running Koni adjustable with a Ground Control coilover conversion for the ti. A pretty aggressive setup for the street but great for auto cross and track days. In the past I have used the H & R "race" springs with the Koni's, they are pretty soft for track use but they do lower the ti nicely & make it look pretty good. Welcome to the .org & good luck. Please post pictures when you can! | | | 02-08-2021, 08:37 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Horseheads, NY Posts: 259 | P.S.

I'm in Grants, why do you ask? Pretty sure I have the only TI in town! | | | 02-10-2021, 02:56 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Horseheads, NY Posts: 259 | My son, (teen ti) is in Fort Defiance. He bought his ti from another .org member in Albuquerque about 2 years ago. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
