What is your budget?

Id like to get some under $1000 lol... Its my daily, however I'm still deciding if I should just get the H&R Springs instead... I don't track my car.

Have you looked at powertrix coilovers? Check them out. Powertrix.com. Owner Charles Park is a member here. Ive had the SS model on my car for about a month now and the ride is amazing.

If you can afford it I love the HKS Hypermax, best of both worlds

For $1,000, try Powertrix and BC BR. As far as springs go, I'd rather get Swifts. It's not as low as H&R, but performance wise it's pretty amazing for what you pay.

@Red_Zed some where around 1- 1200.

m4a1mustang · 10-08-2011, 09:35 PM

A lot of people have had good luck with BC in that range.

KaienZ34 · 10-08-2011, 11:30 PM

Price range aside, good for street (smoothest ride) with some track/road course duty which way to go?

ihatepotholes · 10-09-2011, 01:46 PM

tanabe sustec great price for what you get. if you wanna go the springs route, try their GF210.

I just installed BC ER series coilovers and it is night and day over the Swift Spec -r springs but the BR series are a little cheaper.

ND370z · 10-09-2011, 02:47 PM

The same manufacture that makes BC racing makes Powertrix

KaienZ34 · 10-09-2011, 03:50 PM

I'm mostly looking for a ride that is smooth as possible. Not really worried about drop or price up to say 1800.
