Track coilovers

[Reaper42]

What is everyone using? I have been researching coilovers a ton, dont want to buy something that is meant for street and the occasional track day since my car is one the track 90% of the time it is being driven. Lets consolidate everything here.

Use a company that will build a custom setup for you. Stance, BC, and JRZ. Then you get the higher spring you should have for track use with the correct damping that goes with it. But I'd also like to add your basic coilover is great for 100% track use. Cost is usually the the main objective.

THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION


I'm currently running Stance coilovers (truetype). At the time I purchased them I didn't have a clue what route I was going to go with my car. So I went the price conscience route. Well come to find out I love these. I've rode around in other Z's with ever sort of coilovers and I still love mine better than almost all the rest. Tein is about the closest to my setup. With JRZ's being the best (but they cost a good bit)and HKS being my second choice if they came in a true type setup. BC ER makes a great custom setup also.

I love mine due to the higher spring rates than any other company besides HKS. Which is needed with our heavier car. The only downside to my Stance coilovers is there not independent rebound/ compression. But I've already talked to Stance about doing a custom setup for about $2200.

A lot of people don't like higher springs rates but that's cause they don't track seriously and just want the greatest road comfort possible which is where KW come in. But as I said I feel all coilovers can work on a 100% track car. But even liike the high end coilovers eventually they will have to be rebuilt. Some sooner than others.

yeah the KW V3s damper control is great, but the off the shelf rates are too soft for wide rubber and fast pace on track. Im actually going to most likely be on a revalved and harder spring version of my V3s later this year, pretty much making my own "KW clubsport" setup

I'm running the Powertrix R/T setup and I'm very happy with them. 12k Front springs and 10k rear springs. Price is damn near hard to beat, especially at group buy price. I'm not as heavy as a tracker as these other guys so I'm sure they know what is most needed when it comes to heavy tracking. I'm in Hawaii so I'm more of a corner carver and AutoX instead of actual road course like these guys. If I had a chance to, then I would be just as heavy into it......
