Those are the RED ES bushings. They also offer graphite impregnated ones (the black ones, and the ones I have) which apparently are less prone to squeeking. I don’t know how much truth to that there is, but mine don’t squeek. My suspension pics coming in about two weeks…
i got me some Ksports
yes i know the rear is lower than the front I’ve adjusted it since this pic so they’re even now
^^did you know that ksports blow??
4X100 Q8’s
haven’t blown on me so far… and if it were to, i’m still under warranty
yeah mine were under warranty
the first set blew so i exchanged them, then the new set blew so i got my money back
Dannyboy - when the ES bushings are in the LCAs, is it easy to take them out again to relube them down the road… just in case they squeak or beginning to dry up/crack?
I’m looking to get GC/KONI package, can someone suggest a reasonable price because i was looking around and the price difference drops, I don’t want the mounts i simply want 2 sets (rear and front) of GC/Koni yellow package. On ground control’s site they go for 430.00’ish others close to a grand… :S
=)
i recently bought mine with the top hats and im saving to get the koni’s next. i can tell you they ride nice, if you call ground control and talk to franky he will take care of you. the man is an encyclopedia of da suspension knowledge.
the k sports im runnin i’ve been runnin them for a year and half. they are still cherry and they are still stiff as fck
bump for more suspension set ups and pix!
As for the KSports, ya, i think they had quality control issues back in the day, so if you bought them before roughly 05 or 06, then you might have run into a bad batch. Apparently, after that period of time, they’ve undergone new management and have redone their coilovers with new fluids and seals (I’ve done a lot of research and reading because I just bought myself a set). All the people I have read about that recently picked theirs up have had no problems within the past 2 years with some pretty harsh abuse daily and track. I’m taking this is good news since I just recently got myself a set. Here is mine on KSports (I <3 Orange)
I love the build quality, the adjustment style (preload adjustment, height adjustment and shock travel is all independent) and the color (lol)!!! Future (this week) upgrades include KSport LCAs, KSport Rear Camber and 22mm Progress rear sway bar… should ride well… hopefully a neutral balance if not some oversteer (spring rates for KSports are 10k/6k)
I keep some pretty close tabs on my mileage and how many miles accumulates on my parts, so i’ll have a long term update… well… a long time from now.
For now… pix…

After Hurricane Ike:
wow your car is pure sex its making me want to get rid of my sentra and pick up another teg /…hmm maybe i can use a daily
That’s not always true. I had ksports on a teg 3.5 years ago sold the teg to my friend two years ago and he daily drives the teg and they are fine almost 4 years later

Thanks! yes, you should definitely pick up another one!!

My set up
Im running on Skunk2 Lowering Springs and Skunk2 Sport Shocks.
Skunk2 Front Camber Kit and Blox Rear Camber kit
no one seems to be able to tell me this, but does a DC/eg/ek rear strut bar fit a DA??
^^^i don’t think so…
here are some updates on my susp and pix although the pix are posted pretty much everywhere else on the forum… lol but… update cuz ITS LOWER NAOOO!!!
The front is as low as i can go w/out effecting preload and shock travel. the rear is slightly slightly higher than the front, but a lot lower than before.
DXR… your DA is HARD man! Lovin’ the stance and suspension setup! :rockon:
