I thought id post a thread just to find out what you guys recommend when looking to buy some coilovers. what kind of coilovers do you recommend? I havent made my final decision on what to go with but want to hear what you guys have to say.

 

For what purpose? Just lowering the car? Road racing? AutoX?

 

Budget?

If you got the cash check out Ohlins, Quantumn, Aragosta - overkill for a street car. If you are just looking to lower the car, your better off just getting struts and ground control springs.

how much cheaper are some good struts and ground control springs. a little touge and street racing, mainly lowering the car.

 

TBH, good shocks and GC Coilovers are not any cheaper than a cheap brand of coilovers (say like Megan Racing). However, the problem with the cheap coilovers is the shock is crap. The shock is the main component of the setup. At least going with a good shock and the Ground Control coilover sleeves you know you have a good shock and can match the spring rate to suit what you need.

I would recommend going with Tociko HTS or Koni shocks and Ground Control coilover sleeves. For your application, springs would be 500F/400R.

 

thanks man, ill look into doing that

 

HSD's or Driftworks CS1's dude, got the HSD's on my FC, they rock hard!!!! Wouldn't even think of buying anything else

 

+1 for koni's
