buying coilovers tommorow what to buy?

[countrySMOKAZ]

what should i go with and why?

[stowaway]

bc, only because the spring rates are the most reasonable if you spec them appropriately. Anything over 350 lb/in in the front will ride somewhat harsh.

[countrySMOKAZ]

what do you mean spec them properly?? im pretty new to the whole c.o. thing

[stowaway]

some companies you'd buy BC coilovers from offer different spring rates. If you get the standard ones, they may be too stiff for your liking. If you get the softer spring rates it'll ride better on the street and you won't have much/any performance dropoff unless you were in a competitive road race environment.

I am going with BC's too. See all my posts in the D2 thread.

Stowaway rules. Never seen anyone answer questions without being an ass.

Another for the BC's. Love mine!

[lostang]

I also have the BC's (standard ones) and have them set to near full soft (3-4 clicks) and are perfect for everyday driving

I hear good things about Megan,do your research before you go and dump a G into your suspension,just because some C.O.'s are cheaper does not mean they arent good if not better then more expensive C.O.'s.Just my 2 cents.

Dont buy megan unless you dont mind lots of noise



clink clink clunk.

I wish i could afford BC's

[htheduck]

how much research is being done, if your poll + anticipated results are within 24-36 hours of purchasing co's? what are your goals? what do you want to change?

i would extend that purchase date as long as it takes to be an educated consumer. but then again, it's your wallet. good luck.

koni yellows and ground control sleeves

[bpsrt4]

Out of those, I would go w/ bc's never heard anything bad about them.

I personally have the k-sports and the ride is stiff...I wouldn't say harsh ( I had IPP's before ) but if you spend a little time adjusting the dampening to your liking they ride fairly decent

But like was already asked above, what are your goals for the car?

stowaway, what about tein ss's.

They have 280lb springs front / rear, and are edfc capable.

I think the rear spring rates are too stiff in comparison to the front. The back end can be a bit bouncy and changes the handling balance a bit more toward oversteer. A good ratio between front and rear spring rates is to have the fronts about 33% stiffer than the rear.
