Which coilover system do you recommend around 1.5k range? if nothing in that price range is a upgrade, do you recommend just replacing the OEM struts to bilsteins or koni? I am looking at B14s, fa500, ST's.. any other recommendations for mainly street? road is "ok" in Portland OR
I have a feeling you'll know what I will recommend. I recommend Koni shocks and RCE Yellow springs (RCE Tarmac is a little stiffer if you need stiffer). As long as you don't install the spring perch upside down in the rear it will look low enough. My car is great both on the track and daily driving. You're welcome to drive my car if you'd like to feel how it rides. You can even put the rebound on full soft and full stiff to compare. In return I ask that you let me put your Q300 on my car and drive around for 15mins so I can see if I like how it sounds compared to my loud-ish setup.
