I want a set of coil overs that are at home on the track more than on the street. I dont drive on the street that much and I plan to hit the track alot in the comming months If I can afford to set it up properly,hints the $2500 limit on the coil overs. I can get out there quicker.
I have had the car almost nine months and it has less than 3000 miles on it. And that is with all the driving I did when I couldnt get the grin off of my face,from finally having one. and it is not my daily driver of course.
I am not brand particular I just want a reliable set of coilovers that work well.I don't really car if they are the quietest, smoothest ,best looking or cheapest . the only problem is the $2500 cap on my budget.
every time I open my garage that grin comes back

 

It might be nice to let us know what kind of car we're talking about here....

 

Cusco Zero 2R's

 

i vote for those also, however the 02's are great also. will yeild a little smoother ride on the street.

 

Sorry about that It is an 04 sti

 

My $.02.......I really liked my stock struts on the trackdays I've been on. Have you tried them out yet?

 

Yes I have been to the track once with the STI. It was very nice but I want it a little lower and the ability to corner balance the car.Plus it could always be better right. I want the ability to adjust firmness also. I feel it has enough power till I get the suspension sorted so suspension it is.For now

 

yes

 

what about the HKS hypermax?? I heard those are pretty good...

I had ride on a Zeal function V6, that are pretty stuff, small small amount of roll. But I personally like ohlin .. tehee .. (<~~ me.. a rally person .. sorry)

what about GAB coilovers...only available in Japan. I have a set on my GC8...4 way front/8 way back adjustability. you can import them for about 2500

 

i have the hks hipermax 2's on my wrx and love them. They are more of a street coilover i feel because of the spring rates but they would be great on track. The spring rates they come with which is 7kg F and 5kg rear is somewhat on the soft side and hks doesn't directly make a spring replacement but im sure you could measure the spring and get it from another company. Do a search under my name since i just posted some info on them. i posted a initial review on nasioc as well, my username is dan avoN7 on there.

 

The Prodrive AST systems looks pretty damn nice! I'd love to test it out but already spend +2k on suspension bits. It's a bit more than 2.5k you stated, but may be well worth the extra 500 for it.

There is a thread on it some where on here.

Here it is Prodrive AST

 

i have tein flex w edfc
i like the setup b/c it works quite well on the track and the edfc makes my laziness easier (just press a button and it changes )
