Coilover decision help. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Alright so I've been running Eibach Sportlines on my stock struts for about 13,000 miles now and am starting to get tired of them. So the next logical step is replace them with coilovers.

The price point I'm looking at is under $2,000. Mostly for street use with the occasional track day or drive into the mountains. As far as the drop I'm looking for I am personally 100% content with the 1.4" drop the sportlines gave me.

So, what do you guys suggest?

KW V3, this has probably been answered plenty of times.

Pretty sure the KW V3s would be over $2,000 especially since I'd have to also buy a top mount for them.

Not really you can use oem top mounts and front camber bolts to get - if wish.

Also where have you guys seen a set of KWv3s under 2,000?

there are vendors that have sold them for like 1700-1800. you dont necessarily have to buy top mounts, but if you want to go all out, might as well buy the ground control camber plates in the front too for more travel and camber

Would the GC camber plates fit with my Password:JDM strut tower?

I'd say Bilsteins for $1100
