Coilovers by features and options.

Also, You're missing ISC along with the different models of Stance and BC

dont forget details such as top mount type (rubber, pillowball), OEM vs true type, and thrust bearing options

links to damper dynos if available.


Also, I don't agree with your rebound and compression descriptions. Dampers are measured in units of (Force * Time)/Distance. They are used to control oscillation amplitudes by resisting force, not producing force.

I created this thread as a reference for those shopping for coils. I did not reference my engineering textbooks when describing the nature of dampeners.

If you're gonna try to make a sticky thread and call it a "bible" then it needs to be accurate and detailed. I'll work on gathering information but I'm surprised the mods stickied this already considering how little information you had before posting it.

Your right!

I should've waited for more info to come in.

I'll look into sticking it later on as it matures with info.




For others


As for bible in title? Yes, I think it may have been a stretch.

I'll edit it and again will see how in depth this gets.

Thank You for those contributing pros/cons

You won't edit this thread again... lol, i've seen a decidedly once-over effort on the forum threads. But thanks for the 15 minutes of fame?

I do like how a donation of one's time and efforts on the forum is heckled more than appreciated.
