Do You Have Coilovers or Lowering Springs: Answer 5 ?'s Below ; Possible Sticky? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ScionFR-S · 01-21-2014, 03:42 PM

Just thought this would be a good idea for a thread since many people wondering how many miles people have had on their coils or springs to determine what is best for them and has the most longevity.
1. Post Your Coil Kit or Spring
2. How Many Miles You Have Driven on them Without any Problems
3. Tire and Wheel Setup
4. DD? AutoX? Track ? Maybe Both ? Pick which one you are
5. Where do you live ? ( kind of creepy question but this will determine what kind of roads you travel on daily. ex i live in NYC where the streets are absolute dog Sh*T

1. I have the B+G S2 lowering springs on stock shocks. After settling they give you a drop of 1.4 front and rear
2. I've had them for around 5000 miles give or take a few miles and so far no problems
3. Still running the stock wheels and tires
4. DD the car but will be testing them out in an autox event in the following weeks (will up date you on the comparison between them and stock springs)
5.I live in VA but use to stay in PA for a couple of years and visited NY a few times so I know what you mean by the roads are some dog sh*t

1. CSG-Spec Tein SRC Prototypes
2. Approximately 35k on the coilovers, still no issues
3. anything ranging from stock to 255 RE-11 to 235 RC1
4. Street, Track
5. Southern California; LA roads SUCK.

1. Post Your Coil Kit or Spring
Eibach Pro's, stock shocks until they blow, then Koni's
2. How Many Miles You Have Driven on them Without any Problems
Put them on at 4500 miles or so. Car is right about 13,600 miles, so 9,100 carefree miles
3. Tire and Wheel Setup
Stock wheels, stock tires. Gonna stick with the stock wheels, swap tires to PSS
4. DD? AutoX? Track ? Maybe Both ? Pick which one you are
Daily Driver and canyon/mountain runs
5. Where do you live ?
San Diego. Roads aren't the best, but most of my driving is freeway.
