what coilover has the closest to stock ride?

valpozguy · 03-04-2012, 01:32 AM

I have been looking around in here and can't seem to find much. Getting ready make a purchase on some coilovers and don't want a really hard ride, but want the adjustabilty of the coilover. Is there any out there that have a close to stock ride and feel or even better? Thanks for any help you can give.

Coilover Spring Rates

Fairly cool spring rate chart someone made there...tho it is missing some. Set on "softest" would be closest to stock...some you will be hard pressed to get to "stock" feel.

Some other things to consider:

1. What is the least amount the vehicle will drop ?
2. Do I care about easily adjusting the rears without removing stuff ?
3. Do I want Electronic bling bling control from the driver's seat ?
4. What is the warranty and are they rebuildable ?
5. Read some reviews (Google...lots out there)

Hope this helps...and GL

I like my powertrix SS coilovers. Wont break the bank either. Stockish feel but more planted. A few of us have them here.

but if budget is a problem, take a look at Fortune Auto coils combined with Swifts springs.
