yup. they do make some sweet suspension, but i'm not laying that sort of money down anytime soon


about the Kei Office coilovers, i can't seem to find any info on their entry-level offerings for the FC, although i do recall they have such a product. if someone has info, please go ahead and post.

If Silkroads were mentioned in this thread, I'd say GP Sports GR-6 fit in the same category. 6-way adjustable, 9kgF/7kgR, really easy to read height markings.

thats true...they're not for street use...a lot fo the guys that run them on the track only send them in to be rebuilt every year...unless thats changed since i was there which i doubt.

that combo does not represent an adjustable "coilover" setup. please start another thread if you must, but i can tell you that a little time spent searching the forum will probably answer your question.

they seem to be quite reliable and can be rebuilt easily. i don't think that is the issue. the issue seems to be aggressive design and too much adjustability for anything other than primarily track use.

I personally would not recommend the GP line of coils until they offer warranty support. THe GP line of coils has created problems for us. Lack of warranty support is something that you will need with those coils.

So, nothing further to add to this thread?
i think it's a pretty extensive list. no one should have any questions now on what is available for FC in terms of cheap(er) coilovers

I have a question

I know this forum is mainly US based, but...what about something in Europe?

Does anyone know any solution for coilovers (proce range as listed, NOT much above 1500$!! ) with european based shops so that would not be a big problem any issue on products?

Thanks in advance

$1200, GC Advance Design, double adjustable struts/shock.
Can be revalved and rebuilt by the customer.
www.advance-design.com
Just to clarify here, that's $1200 just for the struts, then add $400 for the height adjustable springs, and $300 for the camber plates, plus cost of rear upper mounts. Plus, independently adjustable compression/rebound shocks mated to camber/caster plates are hardly what I'd call an entry level setup.

they don't really sell any coilovers that are priced in the "entry level" range of this thread. that's why no one has added them here.

yeah, generally coilover kits come are an integrated damper/spring set. everything listed in this thread is like that, except the Ground Control coilovers, which you purchase the coilover kit (spring) and shock seperately.

AFAIK they don't make any coilovers for the FC, just some OEM style replacement shocks, like KYB AGX style.

No spring rate info, so you have no idea what you're getting there. It'll probably end up being too stiff at one end.
