Coilovers for a STi 2008
Hey i-clubers!
I'm currently looking into coilovers and deciding what I might invest in. I don't track or autocross. I'm a daily driver and occasionally spirit drive. I want to dump my car and hopefully camber it out (HellaFlush).
I have a 2008 STi (:

You guys have any suggestions what coilovers I might invest in?
BC coils, Tein, HKS, etc...
Thanks i-club

Looking for some ride comfort or dont care? there are alot of little things that can help someone buy a coilover set over another, like Camber adjustments, Ride height, Stiffness adjustments.
So far I have been reading good reviews on BCs even though they are on the cheaper Taiwanese side they have been supposedly performing better then Megans, D2, ETC....and they go pretty low. Teins i would say go with Monoflex if you can save up for those ride nicely and go low. .Been multiple reviews on the HKS on being STIFF but if that is what you want that might be better for you but dont know about ride height on those. I highly suggest getting something with Stiffness and Ride Height adjustment though.

trust me. its not gunna get you low enough. His looks dump because he running a 275series tires that fills that gap up.
i wasnt really able to tuck tires with the BC's especially running the tires currently. I bottomed out the rears and it looks funny to me still. You could remove the collar but i dont really want to do that. I picked up stance coilovers, coz they go low without dropping the spring/ remove collar alla that stuff.

maybe BC's will do the job for you man. idanno its not low enough for me. here's my car with the BC, that was with 255's tires. currently i have 235's and the gap is dumb. I needa put the new coils on and lower it more.
