wich coilovers?

IM looking for a new set of coilovers dont know what to buy do :/.

Im going to use them for track days/ drifting and on the roads. comfort is not my priority.

Have been looking at HKS Hiper Damper II , TEIN super drift, Ohlins etc
someone that can help me to find the right ones.
Been really in to the Hks ones.

Determine your budget and level of service/overhaul you need and that will isolate some of those brands.

Are any of the ones you mentioned rebuildable / serviceable in Sweden or nearby you if they blow?

You should really spend some time educating yourself on coilovers by reading the thread that Mahjik linked to and searching and reading the other threads on the topic. We get this question every week here so anyone that actually knows anything gets tired of posting the same information about this topic.

I believe you need to contact each of these companies in Europe and see which ones can be serviced or warrantied.

No point in buying 2k coilovers if they can't be fixed, replaced, or overhauled.

My suggestion would be Ohlins because you should get serviced there.
