I recommend the KW V3's without a doubt...paired with the SPL rear camber arms...and a pair of sway bars to complete the job. I'd be happy to put together a package for ya if you'd like!

Now Elmo;
If you got money like Hotrodz; just get an assortment & have a different setup for different tracks.

Elmo370z · 10-18-2016, 08:06 PM

Elmo, I suggest you look seriously at the MCA Suspension shocks (MCA Suspension)

.... their prices are AU$ and at current exchange rates, usd.75c buys 1AUD. You might have some freight costs but import taxes ought to be minimal because of the US/AUS free trade agreement.

The MCA S15 just won WTAC at Sydney motorsport park so they clearly know how to set up suspension. Many of my race buddies use MCA in their race cars.

Only problem might be service if your alternative choice can be supported with re-valve/repair local to you.

Especially if you are getting more and more active in track events. I would also add the ease of adjustment (aka getting to the adjustment knob) into the consideration.

KW V3 - I remember reading that KW facility in CA would no longer revalve the non competition dampers, only rebuild. Although I think a few independent shops (Robispec comes to mind) can do that.

Bilstein PSS10 - if you are gonna consider V3, you should add this to your list.

Koni - at your price range, I think you have enough to get a set of custom valved Koni along with the supporting hardwares (top hat, springs, rear height adjuster, etc). A couple of members here (redline10000 and j-rho) went that route.

Im doing high rev NA build. Dry sump, billet crank, etc.... far as piston compression i thinking about 12:1 or 12:5. I still want to be able to drive the car on the streets every once in a while, i don't want to be dependent on e85 or race gas.
