I'm looking to get height adjustable coilovers for my BRZ to correct the reverse rake that my current setup produced (which I suspect is also slowly killing my CV axles). I daily drive the car in all seasons, winter, snow and salt included. I drive in a spirited manner on the street. I track the car 2-4 times a year in Mid Ohio. No autocross.
Current mods:
- Drivetrain - stock with stiffer bushings (engine/trans/diff/subframe)
- Power - stock
- Brakes - stock; running track pads and rotors for track
- Suspension - RCE Yellow springs with stock dampers, GP Sport traction mod
- Alignment - camber -2.8 front (camber bolts top and bottom, Pedders offset mounts), -2.3 rear (from lowering). Slight toe out front, slight toe in rear
- Wheels/tires - 17x7 stock wheels with 215/45R17 UHP all seasons for street, 17x9 ET35 with 245/40R17 200TW tires for track
What I'm looking for:
- Height adjustment
- Able to handle daily driving in winter/snow/salt
- Leaning more towards sporty/track than comfort/street. Higher spring rates than the RCE Yellows
- Prefer non adjustable damping
- Comfort can be reduced vs. stock or the RCE Yellows
Options I'm considering:
- Bilstein B14
- RCE Tarmac Zero
Anything good I'm not thinking about? Budget is "as lowest as possible while giving good results". Ideally below $1,500. Anything over $2,000 is definitely a no-go. Willing to consider DIY solutions (separate dampers/springs, strut mounts, etc, so long as there's clear compatibility for the components).
