Need to take a ride on coilovers.
 
Is there anyone near Fairfield that's on coilovers I can ride in. Hard making a decision on what I want to purchase.

what coilovers are you looking at? You just want looks, comfort, or track set-up? Many many options out there so you really need to narrow it down a bit I think before just riding in anything/everything

Mostly daily but I do drive some mountain passes. I was looking at the fortune auto 500.

What's your budget? Any reason you want coils over just springs (want more drop, gonna ride wide wheels, etc)?

If you go Fortune 500 get the radial bearing upgrade and Swift springs for sure. One of the best options out there for a sporty DD seems to be the Tien Flex Z. I have not run them personally but people who know what they are talking about speak highly of them and user reviews are positive so far. Plus they are cheaper than Fortune 500 by almost half after the upgrades. But I will say I was impressed with the ride on the Fortune's when I drove a buddy's car.

Happy with my B14s for DD use but won't be headed your way with an empty passenger seat anytime soon.

Your best bet either way is to come to a Sac86 meet (Facebook.com/groups/norcal86.sac86)

Or one of the East Bay/Dublin meets (86Drive.com/events)

What's your FR-S lowered on now?

Kaotic Lazagna 12-16-2015 12:42 AM

Maybe check out EQ Tuning? Might be some people there who have coilovers on their twin that may let you do a ride along?

I'm rather busy lately but if there was a time that we can conveniently coordinate, I have teins street flex on mine.
