Stuck on which suspension setup to get - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm stuck deciding on which coils to get. I already love the way the car handles on stock suspension and I'm afraid if I switch to coils, I may not like the way it'll handle afterwards. I'm looking for a setup that'll make the ride bearable for driving through the city, get rid of the wheel gap, and suitable to autocross in. I've only had experience with Stance coils and found them to be too soft for my taste. Anyone have recommendations on which to get?

Eibach Sportlines to me felt exactly stock but dropped it 1.4"... No longer running them, but like I said, they felt stock.

what made you switch them out for another setup?

edit: oh nvm, I was looking for a coil setup, thanks though

oh yes I did mean coilovers haha. I've just been so used to saying coils since most of my friends call them that

Were you still on stock shocks?

The KWs on about 6 to 8 clicks off full stiff are just as comfortable as stock.

saying Stance were too soft for you, says to me that you want something quite a bit harder then stock
