Best street /spirited driving coil overs - budget no issue - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

aBRZy305 · 11-25-2015, 12:21 PM

So I've seen and read at least 2 dozen threads asking for good street coils for a certain amount of money.
I'm a strong believer of "you get what you pay for" and feel suspension is something worth investing in.
I have been leaning towards a set of ohlins, but feel as though they maybe a little overkill.
As for myself, the car will be mainly street driven, with an occasional track day once a month or two. (Nothing extremely competitive, just racing my own times)

If there is another brand I should look for that offers great ride quality, please let me know!
(I have researched a ton, just want a couple other opinions before I drop a good chunk of change into suspension)

What kind and what size tires do you run?

How much do you want to lower the car?

Do you have any other suspension mods?

Budget is no issue? Penske.

Everything can be customized to your needs, but there is no substitute.

255/17 MPSS on the car atm
Currently have SPL control arms, and your springs actually.
Have eibach sway bars and white line toe arms, to install with the coils.
I'm under the impression all I need are coils left, but if there are any other components you think I'd benefit from id love to learn more!

You have 7-20k to spend on suspension?!?!

I noticed the price, definitely seems like overkill for my needs.

Still a really bad ass system though.

I would suggest MCS 2-ways. I have over 30K on mine and the valving is very good on the street and they have huge range for both compression and rebound to dial in whatever you need on the track.

Just make sure you get the set with remote reservoirs, the non-remotes are noisy.
