Yeah I didn't vote either...

JRZ anything, Tein SRC, Motons, Penske...quality with durability and functionality be a pretttttty penny. My vote would go to some JRZ RS1's.

I don't see the RS*R on the list, but it's great for daily driving and occasional track use. One of the most comfortable suspension I have been on. Check out RS*R Sports*i at: http://rs-r.com/sports-i/

Air bags might be the best choice for you if your main concern is comfort and 'stance.'

I am in the same situation. I'm looking for good coilovers. However my situation is different. I have a manual FRS. It's my DD it will see the track (not very often ). I know the comfort will be compromised but it's not a big issue. Just nothing too hard. What is important is that I don't want anything too expensive. I am aware that i will be spending more than 1k. I want a mid level set up. Something that can be rebuilt.

I'm in the exact same situation. Any recommendations from anyone?

Anything that reuses the stock upper mounts will most likely have the best ride. I'm going GC street they offer everything I want and are 1350 so very fairly priced.

Notice a key word in my list??

"Street"

Hey! At least he is researching now!

RYO · 03-29-2017, 12:23 PM

I hope this helps, but I have the HSD's Black coilovers (didn't see this on the list). My FRS is also a daily in Canada which means salt and weathering in the winter. No seizing so far, and honestly its not too uncomfortable. I don't track it often, so I can't comment on how well it does on the track, but as a daily coilover, I would highly recommend them. + they are around the same price as the BC's.
