coilovers

Elmo370z · 10-18-2016, 12:43 AM

So I'm making a wish list and coilovers come into mind, but i don't know what is the best choice besides the endless budget type. Car isn't a DD so I'm not in the market for something that is comfortable on the streets, i need to perform on the track. So I come up with 3 choice. KW v3 ( Most popular?) tien monoflex with edfc, Or BC coilovers.

Try the MCA brand from Australia. I'll be upgrading my BC's to these next.

Somehow, I am in the same boat and I am very inclined toward Tien for their edfc active pro, a local subaru guy who used it, said it made a great difference in the track and offered to use it if I have the coilovers before buying, unfortunately I am on oems.

I made it easier for myself to make it the deciding factor and I was thinking about the new monosport but a friend told me the spring rates may be too much for a car without aero parts, and now I am between it and flex z.

Would be interesting to see other people opinion on that setup.

Good luck in your choice.

3k would be the most i'd like to sink into it. The kw v3 and monoflex are between 2,300-2,600 I'm ok with that.

I would look at Stance and Fortune Auto as both provide customized and tunable products. MAMotorsports is got the hook up with Stance and I have had good luck with contacting Fortune Auto directly.

I second MAMotorsports and Stance for that budget.

03threefiftyz · 10-18-2016, 02:08 PM

Ohlins DFV at that price range.

Elmo370z · 10-18-2016, 02:28 PM

Ok I'll look into those thanks yall

Have you included the budget for all the SPL parts to be able to adjust your alignment. I spent 1700 just on that and I only got what I needed. KW V3's is a definite no. They have progressive springs and can not be changed out.

I googled and saw some stuff pop up....but didn't look beyond that.

Good lord, I can't tell you how much money I have tied up in SPL and I still need to spend $800 more.
