I would actually head on over to G20.net - Forums for some good information on your car, just don't post a new thread about a "best suspension" topic....not sure if a Mr. Shawn B is there, or a twin of him.

Contact Scott aka Shigspeed and have him make you a set of coilovers to whatever specs you want. Be prepared to shell out about 12-1500 bucks. Not sure of his exact pricing, but its a high quality setup.

Lawlz, but ur refering to the "non dash" forum.

Best Suspension, Blair mentioned it & yeah its top notch. One of the AZ guys has s ShigSpeed setup in his p10 & its awesome.

Best Suspension for the price, Tien Springs on KYB GR2 Struts or for a few buck more get the adjustable KYB AGX's.

I wouldn't. GR-2's are intended as stock replacement struts. You wouldn't put lowering springs on stock struts would you? Besides, if you actually care about the travel of the strut, you need to get a raised mount to offset the travel you just lost by lowering the car.

By the time you do it right, AGX's, springs, new raised mounts, bushings, etc. you are back into coilover price territory. Save the money up and do it right. A suspension is NOT one thing to go halfway on. For your safety and the rest of the people on the road.

That is a very good point and my wife and daughter are going to be in the car to so I have to think about their safety also. So I'm not going to be cheap and do the right thing.

If you want a more budget friendly setup, theres a couple different coilover setups available. The agility setup, shigpeed, and theres one more but I cant remember the name of it (AMR Engineering maybe?). G20.net should have that info. Search around and you can find it. Shigspeed is a big member of the community, and I can tell you his work is top notch though. If you can swing the cash, go that route. You can even customize the spring rates to whatever you want.

To my knowledge, there are no Tein coilovers made for the P10.

Hmmm, I might check out the Tien springs + GR2s, I need something mild for my G.
