Full Suspension Refresh from ECS?

[Mr. Wolfe]

Has anyone purchased and installed this kit? If so, is it a good bargain? Are there other things that could be done at the same time? Looking to go over my entire car. Thanks!

Manufacturer list seems respectable. URO is questionable.. some Febi..some Lemforder..

might wanna check this out as well and get some sort of mixture of whats offered between the two packages (ecs/condor) depending on how you want the car to ride.

I just pieced my own kit together. I'll never install anything URO on my car.

hit up blunt 1st

Yeah, skip on the Uro stuff. I've used mostly Lemforder for my bushes. TRW for ball joints and tie rods.

[Mr. Wolfe]

Thanks guys. Does anyone else sell a package with better pieces? I would not know what all to look for. Thanks.

Not that I know of. Just copy ECS's list, but replace anything from URO

FCPEURO does kits.

They are east coast, too.

I just priced everything from ECS on that site you shared and replaced the URO parts and it was almost exactly twice the cost. Worth it at almost $700?

It is all your choice, money and desires.

I'd ask the folks at FCP, just like you would Blunt or Levent, to work up a quote. Include shipping.

The ECS kit price seems too good to be true. Reviewing the contents you see why. It subs in Uro parts for the most expensive bits, the control arms. If that is an area you believe is not a place to splurge, how much difference can a LCA make, then the kit and price are justified. FCP offers Meyle and Lemforder.

Having just redone my entire front suspension, I came to the decision OEM parts got the car this late into life... should give it another 27 years and 150,xxx miles. Uro... I cannot say. FCP offers a full, lifetime warranty. I am not sure they offer Uro given that. What does that say about Uro?

I ended up piecing my front. When it comes time for the rear, I will just price out a kit. Money can be saved if you piece it together.. clearance or garage clean out type sales here on the forums.

Read the RTS blog on CABs. Make sure the kit is even everything you want, expected results (ECS offers the centered CAB, the M3).

This is a time to try aftermarket, too. Perhaps they offer designs more in tune w/ your expectations and driving style.

Lastly, I ordered the JOMs when they first came into our r3v scene. $300 or so for a full suspension... "coilovers", to boot. I got what I paid for. It was good for what I wanted and wanted to spend.

[Mr. Wolfe]

Thanks bud. Appreciate the input. Not looking to cheap out and not interested URO after reading the reviews. I am going to shop around and see what kind of package I can put together.
