Coilovers in Seattle

daleks

I'm wondering what coilovers people are running in the area and what their thoughts are concerning our type of roads. Everyone on this board loves the KW V3's, but I need an upper mount and don't mind linear springs. Plus it's a weekend car so some stiffness is okay. Coilovers I'm considering are

KW V3
HKS Hipermax III
BC Racing ER
Tein Mono Flex

The Tein's would probably win out if I weren't hesitant to deal with the 14k springs rates. I understand threads like this are all over the Suspension section of the forum, but I'm looking for real world experience on local roads.

I had bc br which were ok, not the Er. I don't like coilovers but if I were to get them I would pay a little more and get kw. Just my opinion.

All of the ones I listed are around the same price, or close enough to where it isn't much of an issue. If KW had their Clubsport application for the Z34 I'd probably buy those and be done with it.

You went with H&R Springs? How do you like them? Whats the drop on them? I am thinking of getting a set of Eibachs. Dont want to go too low. And a JP lip next!

My h&r springs are my favorite mod, next favorite are my spacers. The drop is about the same height I had my bc set at, the front with about finger gap and rear with about finger half. the black front spoiler is about 3.5 inches off the ground and frame about 3 3/4 inches. The thing I don't like about the eibach is that the front gap looks bigger than the rear gap, some people don't mind that though. I'm probably going to be at the sat meet if it doesn't rain, you can take a look.
