Coilovers? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JoeyMarch · 02-19-2015, 04:42 PM

Okay so Im between the two coilovers, buddy-club and hks. Now I'm wondering if I should get racing spec or a street spec. Any tips, preferences, and advice is appreciated thank you.

In before, "Use the search function."

Admittedly though, the search function is your best friend. Also, you will need to provide more information for people to be able to offer accurate advice. What are your goals with the car? Do you plan to track it at all? Budget? Etc.

And the overly repetitive question marks is a bit annoying, and may not bring people in with the best intentions.

My car is a daily driver but when the weather gets better it will be seeing track days, I'm thinking race spec because of that but I'm curious how much comfort is taken away with that.

if you need to ask, street spec is probably better for you.

you didnt like my previous answer so you make another new thread or something? lol

The JDM brands aren't thought of particularly highly on this forum. I have read about a few people with HKS coilovers on hear, maybe try PMing them. If you talk more about your budget and goals people will offer you some suggestions.
eg if you are going primarily for looks and don't want to spend a fortune ST coilovers are a good option. If you want to track the car more maybe RCE Tarmac 0 would be a better option etc.

Like others said, why have you narrowed it down to those two?

ST are a great option-Hell, they're what I use

My budget is to stay below about 1,700. I definitely don't want to buy a cheap pair to save money and regret it down the line. Its a daily driver but I still want to take it to trackdays on the weekends. I'm just looking for a good set I don't mind sacrificing a little ride comfort.

Have a look into the RCE Tarmac 0s. Or even a good shock and spring combo.

I would look at the following:

Bilstein B14
RCE Tarmac 0s
KW V3 if you can swing the extra cost

Significantly better dampening consistency in our opinion.
