another coilover question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

brz fred · 04-04-2016, 04:23 PM

First off I want to express how much I don't want to make another coilover question thread, specially this kinda being my first post. I've been looking for about 2 weeks and haven't found the answer I'm looking for. That being said I'm looking to purchase a set of coilovers in the next day or two. This is for a DD maybe spirited driving on occasion. I'd like to stay around $1,000, has a camber adjustment plate and dampening adjustment. So0o with that being said, I've narrowed it down to the apexi n1s, the flex z(on backorder) and a set of BCs(tho i'm questioning the 8k rates). Honestly I'm kinda set on the APEXi but i'd like to hear if anyone's had any bad experiences with these before i spend the money. I'd appreciate a link to a review on the N1s if anyone finds one, the 86insider post doesn't count.

i had apexi n1 on my previous s2k. i loved it. i'm currently on st's for my frs now which i love too, but it reuses stock top hats, so no adj camber up top. it does have a slotted lower hole which maxed out at -2 deg on my car which is enough for me.

I was gonna buy Tein FLex Z,,but its on international back order.
So i suggest, Prime coilover by fortune auto, or fortune auto 500 series.

Thats good for 1000 range,,trust me,,i did alot of research over 1 month. I was confused like u.

I totally over looked prime, didn't know they we made by fortune, just thought they were some off brand. Now i have something ELSE to look into, man the PRIMEs are kinda sexy haha. STs were high on my list from everything i read but i really want that camber plate. thanks for the responses fellas

I would highly recommend looking into the prime's. I am on Fortune autos and was blown away with what they delivered at the price point so I can only imagine that they will do the same in the lower end segment too. Give fortune auto a call and talk to them and ask them question. Thats one of the reason I went with them is the support you get from them.

ST XTA, comes with camber adjustable topmounts. So far I am more than happy with mine! More about them in my build thread (link in my signature) and in this thread I started I posted a video too: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100030

Don't go with Prime; they're kind of odd.

FR-Sky · 04-04-2016, 08:23 PM

I am installing prime + LCA on friday,,if you can wait,,i can update after i drive it.

man i might beat you to it, you guys have swayed me from Apexi to the primes, i've been googling them the last couple of hours. Where did you order yours from, http://www.fortuneautosuperstore.com/prime-suspension/ ?
