KW V3 seems to be the favorite coilover on any forum that I am apart of.

Try searching "HSD*". You need more than 3 characters for the search to work. I found this out the hard way when trying to search for "RSE" and "AEM".

Quick tip, search on google instead of using the forum search function, it usually gives better results.

For example, just have to type in "HSD site:www.ft86club.com" without the quotes into google.

cheers!

Wish I could, lol. Never run them personally, not notice that on the M3 forums, here, and civic forums, they seem to be the most popular. I've got a couple friends who track their M3's on a regular basis and have never run anything different on all their cars.

Also, can you guys tell me what you think of the HSD Monopro CoilOver? Thanks!!
Do you have a budget? What driving application will you be subjecting your car towards? What are your goals? What tire/wheel setup are you planning to run on?

Presently I will be running stock tire, however later on I would like to increase my tire from 17inch to 18 inch for height. For the width I would go from 7" to 8"


or 17"x8" but for now...stock.


I want to lower my car a little and for winter I want to raise it =p


Driving setting hybrid (summer and winter)




Budget 1500$ around

I changed my mind, I am going for 18" wheel and 8.5" Width
I want coilovers that are less than 1000$
I also want brakes.................. NOTHING IS FOR TRACK, just street performance day/day

What exactly do you mean by brakes and can I ask why? The stock setup should be more than capable for what it sounds like you'll use this for.

KW V1, or ST (same thing but less $$) will get you lowered with a good street setup that's not too stiff, and well balanced. I have the ST's and love them.

Brakes, for performance, get some good pads and change the fluid, maybe some good steel braided brake lines, better rotors, and call it a day.

If you want more bling and racing performance then a BBK will work but for a LOT more $$.

ST coilvers, new better rotors, brake lines, pads, and brake fluid should put you right at around $1500 I think.
