Which coilovers are best for our cars?

cossie1600

I spent 2k on a custom set of coilovets. It barely made any difference, just get some lowering springs and call it a day

Lol never gonna let it go are you? I did EVERYTHING to me bike and didn't notice much. Then I got on my local track from the end of one summer to the start of another and dropped around 5 seconds.

Nope, I am $2K short because I made some big miscalculation. I don't like it when I spend money on things that don't perform like it should. It's the reason why I waited so long to mod my car.

LA is too far, I can only do day trips at the moment. I am sure the benefit at Sonoma would be bigger, but right now I am not seeing much at Laguna.

At the end of the day, I would probably still get the coilovers, but not before I obtain things like sway bars, camber arms and such.

I asked about the KW 1's because it was my understanding they were of the same quality as the KW 3's without all the adjustability. I have intended to go with camber arms but just wanted to know if they were needed with the modest drop.
I am interested in the Koni/Swift combo as well, but the drop is enough that the stock sport wheels really tuck up under the fenders. I'm concerned about using wheel spacers so I don't know if thats an option. I am running the new Dunlop direzza z2 tires which are insane and do not want rubbing issues.

Cossie - what sway bars do you recommend? And anything else before purchasing coilovers?

Did FA revalve the dampers or just the spring rate being custom?

I just got the Hotchikis, which is probably the best bar you can buy on the market. Car feels a little better, but I don't feel like it is anything earth shattering. I would definitely go with

#1
Sway bars, front camber arms and brake cooling kit, alignment

#2
Coilover, rear camber/toe arms, corner balance, alignment

#3
Differential

You can go with bushings and stuff, but I don't want to get to that point.

My 510s are custom valved for the springs. The adjustments do work as I nearly flew off the track with the suspension at the 60% level vs. 100% stiff. But then my best times were the same as stock vs suspension at 100% stiff. I do have to say the average mean time did come down as the car was way easier to drive. I either drove really fast when my car was stock or I just struggle with the new suspension
