Supporting mods with coilovers

As others have said.. doesn’t matter if you go divorced or true. True might be easier to adjust ride height, but both can give you identical performance. How much do

As others have said.. doesn’t matter if you go divorced or true. True might be easier to adjust ride height, but both can give you identical performance.

How much do you want to lower the car by? If you’re serious about “performance” I wouldn’t recommend a large drop, or else you’ll throw off the camber curves and have a greater chance of rubbing tire. You’ll also need more parts to get back in alignment spec.

If you’re budget limited, stick to a 1” MAX drop. You can use eccentric bolts for toe and camber and get everything in spec. This is significantly cheaper than buying SPL toe and camber arms, eccentric lockout plates, etc…

If you’ve got the money to drop, go with SPL. High quality stuff, easy to adjust, won’t ever break, but it’s not necessary.

My experience: BC divorced coilovers, PLM eccentric bolts for camber and toe. Done 3 track days and 10+ Autox events without any slip in the PLM eccentric bolts.
