STX Coilover Advice
Just looking for discussion on what people have found to be the best setups in STX. If this should be in the suspension section please let me know and I'll delete and repost there.
I'm trying to decide between KW V3, Ground Control SA and RCE T2. So far what has the hot setup been? Also with KWs and RCEs, what has everyone been using for camber plates? Thanks for the input! |

there are a number of STX related threads already... at least 5 on the first page of this section with recent activity...
you can start by reading them... they all have refrences to different coilover setups by different people.

find posts by CGS mike, Racecomp Engeering or Moto-P
you're not gonna get too many people that have burned through 6-7 sets of coilovers on a single car to post any definitive observation. What you're asking for is a very expensive proposition.

Mostly all the fast twin cars in STX are on KW V3's even if they have changed spring rates if that says anything.

I probably would have rocked the FEALs or Fortune Autos, but Ground Control offered a decent discount for me running their stickers, so I ended up getting those . Last edited by ubersoph; 09-24-2013 at 05:56 PM. |

If I wanted to spend $5-7k on shocks again, I'd be looking strongly at MCS, but you are REALLY hitting the point of diminishing returns fast. Not to mention that you a) still have to dial in the setup and b) drive in order to go fast. A lot of people forget about these things, so there's certainly no shortage of expensive, slow cars out there.
