What coilover company should I go with?

What coilover company should I go with? I am currently the weekend warrior/ track driver and I would like to find a coilover system I could put to some good use. Keep in mind, this will be my DD vehicle. Let me know, guys!:happyanim:

Thanks!

May help if you indicate your budget since there are so many options out there.

From what I hear KW V3's are great for comfort and performance, if you budget will allow. They also wont rust away as they are stainless.

If you're DD'ing the car why not just get springs & top mounts? RCE yellows put the OEM struts in the 65% critically damped sweet spot and offer great balance and response on the track without being too low for the street as a DD.

I have no desire for less ride height or more adjustability with my car yet as a DD and HPDE car running RCE Yellows, RCE Sways, and Whiteline Com-C top mounts for camber & caster in the front.

In the distant future (no more DD) when I want the suspension to be lower and stiffer and have double adjustability for primarily track but still some street driving, I will likely go with the Racecomp Tarmac 2 coilovers

Based on the KW V3, but

What kind and what size tires do you run?

What's your budget?

Do you have any other suspension mods?

Do you want something double adjustable? Single? 3 way? 4?

I'd suggest any of the following for a budget track coilover:
RC Tarmac 2
KW Clubsport
Eibach R2
Tein SRC

Above that you have Penske, etc.
