Suspension Planning, Advice requested, TY
 
Hello Everyone, Ive just got done completing my exhaust, and installing upgraded brakes(not brembo yet xD ), the next item on my list before FI is suspension.

Firstly Ill ask can anyone recommend a better suspension mod than
these coilovers:

with these adjustable rear lower control arms:
https://www.ftspeed.com/part/fr-s-br...d#.YFlOIK9Kjeg

at the same ballpark cost?

Secondly Ill ask if these coilovers are worth buying or if I should wait and get something better.

Thank you all for your advice.

The car will be used for SCCA street prep class, and occasional runs at the 1/4. This WILL still be my daily driver, my normal commute is only 20miles per day, all on nice roads.

Aagain thank you for your advice

Those lower control arms are not allowed in Street, Street Touring, or Street Prepared classes, neither is forced induction, you'll be bumped to SM or XS. Which class do you actually want to compete in since each will allow different options.

A set of Megan's or BCs are revalvable by redshift, Proparts, or Shaftworks if you decide to get serious about autox down the road for the same entry price, the teins won't scale to match competitive autox grip/spring rate/damping needs from what I can tell, but they'll be more comfortable for the daily drive. Aftermarket springs and adjustable spring perches are not allowed in Street class, but neither are lcas or bbks so that probably wasn't your plan anyway.

Ill have to re-research and class my car for my 'final build'

I will definitely consider the Megans.

Thank you for the info brother
