What's goin on everybody. I'm new to the forums and I need some help with coilovers/ spring rates. I just sold a set of powered by max pro coils because they were way too stiff even on the softest setting. I'm looking for a coil that can get me as low as possible while still retaining comfort. I've heard bc's ride pretty nice what extreme low? Br type? Er type? If someone could explain spring rates as well.
I'm open to all suggestions thanks everybody.

What is your minimum to maximum budget?

keeeefers · 08-07-2014, 06:48 PM

I'm honestly looking to spend around 1350 but if it's quality and goes low and rides nice no budget.

I would make sure you check out Fortune Auto 500's with the swift upgrade.

I havent heard of anyone using the Blitz ZZ-R coilovers; http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/blit...zz-r-1569.html
but if its Biltz, then it should be good quality and right smack dab in the middle of your price range.

Comfort goes down exponentially as low increases.

OP, it also depends on how low you want to go. Have a realistic goal. Try posting a picture of how low you want to go and we can go from there on answering whether there's a damper system capable of riding comfortable at that height
