Coilovers advice - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

GVN219 · 03-14-2016, 01:50 AM

Hi guys i am new here

I need an advice in choosing coilovers
I mostly use the car for street use and track use occasionally.

I want good performance but still maintaining some ride comfort.

My current selection is:
Blitz ZZR Spec C ( most interest)
Tein monosport
Cusco street Zero A
HKS Hipermax GT
Tanabe sustec Z40

If any of you have experience or have other suggestions please share.
I don't put Kw on my list is because i live in indonesia and the road condition is very bad some of my friends using KW are dealing with issues so i decided not to use.

Thank you

One way or two way?

If the roads are that bad then maybe check out the TRD rally coilovers or something similar...

Also maybe read up on what the differences between one/two/three/four way coilovers are before you buy. If you are having to ask what it is, then it's probably something you shouldn't be f*cking about with until you understand it.

LOL yeah this isn't something you should just buy and hope for prefomance. This is a major change in your car. To be honest you want street comfort with some track use, to me that sounds like what the stock coilovers (yes you already have coilovers so save your money) are perfect for. And they can hold up to some harsh climates, hell mined lasted 3 years before I put some more aggressive coilovers on.

Can we add more options to the list?

NyC Zn6 · 03-14-2016, 02:17 PM

i vote HKS

Kami Speed · 03-14-2016, 03:24 PM

HKS is an amazing coilover for daily/track use. People are very surprised how comfortable they are being a full coilover. There shocks are matched pefectly to the spring rates. Quality wise you cannot go wrong with a set of those!
