Tems suspension or no?

@triple C. They seem stiff yet agile. Which megans and with what springs? Also, this might be off topic, but is that the sound of the BOV or the wastegate? I have a ssqv on mines and it sounds nothing like that. Its just makes a whistle sound when turbo kicks in

If you are worried about ride height, you should stay with the stock height. I have Eibach springs with kyb struts and I have to constantly watch where I drive. It is a waste spending money on coilovers(shock and strut come together as one) if you stay at stock height. If you replace the old bushings get new struts and springs(if you choose) as well as some bigger swaybars, you will notice a HUGE difference over the worn out struts you have now.

How much psi you running triple C?

TripleC · 04-29-2010, 07:55 PM

You know i think my gauge is reading a little off but i have it set for 19 PSI but it regularly stays around 17 once the boost spike hits and levels out at higher RPM( i think it is reading 2 pounds less then what it is really at, so i may be closer to 20/21). I am only running 370 CC injectors but that will change before my next event. 440's in the gerage fendrs to roll, diffs to swap. i have a few projects ahead of my next event May 16th

Do you have to go with special shocks when your car has TEMS? When I hit a bump its like I have hydraulics installed.

Yes when you have TEMS your suspension is adjustable. If it feels like you have hydro's then your shocks are toast. Springs could be a little old and bouncy too but it is mainly associated to the Dampening of your shocks.
