Name what ever type of coilover that you have been thinking about getting. I need honest feed back of a coilover that will be on a daily driven car and see the track about once a month.

The new form and function 2 coilovers have mixed reviews for me. H&R coilovers where amazing, but I am looking for more adjustability. I never cared too much for the Tein set ups. B&G look good but I dont know too much about them.

So please let me know what all of you have in mind in suspension setups and what you plan on doing to your car!

 

JIC!!!!!!!!!! honestly those things are godly. or you can pick up the Zeals someone has in the classifieds at the moment. Those would be the best coilovers for a dd/track car. good balance of dampening and height adjustability. thats just my thought though.

B&Gs are good. i have them along with a bunch of others, though most of the ppl who have them including me got them because they give the lowest drop. theyre comfy, not too rough on the streets, and if you stiffen the settings itll be pretty good for the track.

 

wow JIC has a pretty steep price tag. Has anyone tracked B&G's?

 

I love my JIC. Theya're only $1,789.00 shipped from hopupracing. Ride is pretty good a little bumpy on some roads but i like it. How low are you planning to go? Fronts wont go lower than 2.5 with original springs. Their customer service is really good too.

 

I dont care about how low as opposed to how they will handle. If the B&G's are track prooven to last I might go with those,

 

B&G is a reputably company, they just are more in the German market. A lot of VW and Benz owners swear by them. I don't track but I've had the Tein basics and now the B&Gs and as low as I am the ride is so much better on the B&Gs. The quality of the B&G's also surprised me greatly.

 

If I know how they do on a road course then I am sold. Its one thing I want to know about in a suspension.

 

I know you didn't like TEIN stuff. But honestly I just out the SS-P's on GF's O8. I was blown away by the quality, ride, and handling of the car. In the corners the car is flat, and precise. In a straight line, nice smooth road, the car rides very nice. I couldn't believe how smooth the car is on the freeway. I run them on 10 out of 16. If it was my car I'd tighten it up some, but for her it's a great mix...

 

could you tell us what you don't like about Tein?

 

just reviews that I have read kinda made me turn away from teins. Just about ride comfort really. Im trying to find a great street driven and sometimes track coilover. If you guys do feel that TEIN does support these features, I might get them.

 

i'm on SS-P's and the ride is no where near as bad as people say...

smooth roads are butter and bumps arent that bad

 

My buddy runs them on his subaru and he doesn't have any complaints, but I don't know if he has McPherson struts in the front like we do.

Don is cornering and body roll really excellent at high speeds? I want to eliminate almost all body roll.

 

what about ksport coilovers?

 

my buddy has the tein ss-p coil overs along with the hotchkis sway bars and the car handles like a dream!!! hes also sittin on 225s wider tires

 

not a chance

 

hotchkis sway bars are a must. There is no question about that lol. I just read about 20 different threads about the TEIN ssp with EDFC and I am thinking that it would be a little over kill for me. Maybe H&R are back where I am at, or B&G. I am reading threads about B&G right now.

 

i'm running the hotchkis sways and ss-p's...little body roll and fun around the corners

 

what are your settings on the sways?

 

i have them on the stiffest...

 

anyone take their B&G's to the track. Autocross or road race?
