[86SPEED]

This is just my personal opinion, the coilovers i suggest most of the time, for those that daily and see occasional trackdays, are RSR Sport-i. I've been in just about every set up out except Ohlins, and i have just about everything available to me, i still chose the RSR because of how they felt on the street. I recommend KW V3's if your tracking more often. or CSG's favorite Tein SRC's, both can be setup to run properly on the street also.

I know more about suspension from my sportbike days and racing, and i know that spending money on a quality setup not only means a better ride on the track, but also on the street. Proper valving damping means alot. So going cheap for some of the suspension kits out there wont give you a better ride, no matter how much your mind is trying to justify the 1k you just dropped. We have a guy here on XXXX coilovers that swear its the best thing ever. its rough, its jarring, its bouncy, but he thinks its racecar, or "driftcar" so he is happy, yet i can do everything he car, just as easy with my RSR's but don't have to stop to go over bumps or rail road tracks or look like im bouncing around in my car going over a rough road.

Before the cheapest coilovers i recommended were Fortune Auto, with the swift spring upgrades, that car i spent time in felt really good, i know the shop spent some time getting it set up but once it was it was a good ride. NOW the cheapest coilover i recommend is the Skunk2. I was really surprised with the ride, quality, and ease of setup. driving around the bumpy section of road down from the shop its almost as good as my RSR setup. It may be slightly stiffer, but ever so slightly. While i haven't drove out to any really curvy roads on them, my time spent on the street, i believe for the money under 1200$ its the best sub 1500$ coilover out as of this time. I still recommend the RSR's but under that i suggest looking into the Skunk2 Pro C setup.
