Coilovers with to

Bornnasti · 10-17-2020, 11:55 AM

I want to get coilovers, I got 2 racks available. I was eyeing the bC BR coilovers but I saw that they had a 2.0” drop minimum. Is this true? I have a tomei and it’s already low to the ground. Any other recommendations for coilovers?

Fortune Autos is what I am currently saving up for

If you search for Fortune Auto 500 - you'll come up with quite a few reviews, this does mention BC within the first page so I would probably start here:

BC Racing coilover can always be custom-made. If you wanted less lowering, talk to them. One nice thing about BC Racing is that they test the springs and dampers and then matched.

I did this and it is a great mod. I got the FA510s with the FA springs, I might change these later. I also added the remote servo adjusters with the panel in the cab for instant changes. Not exactly a simple install by any means, but worth it for Street and Track driving adjustability. Gets my vote for Coilovers.

Hks hypermax gt coils, 3/4” set drop from factory. I like them allot ~ $1700

I currently have bc coilovers with swift springs with ark performance exhaust. My exhaust does hit the ground every so often but it is rare. I have to have a lot on in the trunk or going over a big bump at speeds.

Yes I can vouch the Fortune Auto 500 coilovers are a great bang for the buck if you are considering to purchase coilovers. They are good quality and will last you sometime. Great part is they are rebuildable. Also Hotrodz runs these coilovers on his Z!

I run 510's on an e36 and e46 m3 and can attest that they punch above their weight and are also more comfortable BC BRs and Koni Yellows.

My E36 was formerly on BC BR and the 510s with the same spring rates soak up bumps much better and I can use rumbles at the track without unsettling the car. The E36 on BC's would lose tons of grip there, and skip a lot on mid corner bumps.

Compared to my Stance pro comp 2's on the Z, the only thing I like less about them is that they are only single adjustable.
But unless you are really trying to tune corner behavior on your car, single adjustable is fine.

i would def run the fortune auto's

I have KW V3's and my good friend has 510's on his subaru sti and i honestly feel like they are superior
