Coilovers on a budget?

Ron

^^I would not say that is accurate.

I am dropped on swifts which give you about 1.25in front 1in rear and I ended up with out of spec camber settings in all four corners after the springs settled. I still have wheel gap.

Also keep in mind that this is not consistent from car to car and readings will vary.

Why go coilover for street car? Stick with traditional shock and spring setup. Much better suited for street driving.

Our stock setup is already a coilover in the front and a separate spring in the rear. Most of our aftermarket options do the same even if they're called a "coilover", they're not true coilovers in the rear, but obviously they are in the front.

There are a couple options out there that actually do convert the rear to true coilover. TBH I'm not sure on the tradeoffs, I'm not an expert (or even an amateur) at designing suspension geometry and loading, but I don't think it's without tradeoffs to do that. My default position is not to do that unless I get some solid info that everything will be ok with the conversion

Yeah I have considered the springs and shocks route, too.

But after researching lowering springs and getting shocks along with that, they add up to be about 1,000 right?

Some people recommended me getting swift springs + koni yellows.

total they added up to be more than BC coilovers?

Please correct me if i am wrong.

that's why I am leaning towards just getting a set of BC coils.

thank you!

You're right about the cost of BC BR coilovers vs Swift/Koni. I have the Swift/Koni combo, but initially wanted the BC BR. I was told that BC BR coilovers still require you to cut holes in the rear plastic panels of the interior.

In the rears most people require the camber kit if you eliminate wheel gaps. It's how this car settles. He's talkin coils and my original post was about coils. I never did camber kit on my G37X lowered on Eibach springs and that kit eliminated wheel gap too. It tends to be a coil over thing for some reason
