FD Coilovers

Hi I'm looking to purchase a set of coilovers, budget circa. £1200 GBP ($2000) for fast road use. Can you recommend any particular sets and what spring rates do they have? Our roads are generally very poor, even our main roads are uneven so I'm concerned that anything too stiff will ruin the driveability of the car.

Thanks

I have kei office coilovers on my fd, if you are concerned about stiffness then stay away from kei office. performance wise though, i love my coilovers, wouldnt trade them for any other brand.

Best ones I'd recommend, keeping in mind quality, longevity, serviceability (both in the US and in the UK), reputation for unmatched quality, and EXCELLENT ride quality for road use but definitely well suited for aggressive track use would be the Ohlins Road & Track: English | Road & Track by Öhlins. Price is very reasonable as well. A little over $2K though, but you can change out the springs for diff spring rates as well. Very versatile.

I have Apexi N1 coilovers on my FD currently. The ride is great. The hardness is set at 16 out of 32 for street use. It feels right.
