Whats not clear about my question?

My question is what "coilover" or "suspension" (what ever you want to call it) do you have on your race car?

This video explains what coilover are.


About my location. "Earth" is the name of the planet that i live on.


I hope these videos help un vague My question and location to you.

People around here are very well aware of coilovers o:
I guess the answer is everything from stock to 13000$ Penske.

As some have daily driven time attack cars and other full on crazy Pikes Peak stuff, the question is pretty hard to answer.

I would say the most affordable good/fast stuff is Tein SRC and the best is Penske.

Tein SRC is entry-level racecar.
Penske is NASCAR / F1 level.

Obviously none of you own or drive a race car. So please do not post here.

Thank you for understanding.

Yeah sure...

Could you post a pic of your race car with your forum name in it on a sheet of paper ?

There's literally thousands of people on this forum that run coilovers. This ranges from Raceland and Megan to Penske and Ohlins. If you just want everybody to chime in, you're going to get 147 different answers.

You can run as much camber as you're willing to run. I've seen people in excess of 10 - 15 degrees of camber up front. Just because you CAN doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD.

And while it's obvious you live on Earth (you're using the WORLD wide web), it doesn't specify where. For instance, are you located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?

See? Very vague. Maybe a bit more specification on what exactly you're looking for and why would help. Otherwise, you might as well just go to the meaty tire thread since all the posts there contain wheel/tire sizes, camber, and suspension components.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

A stock FR-S on coilovers and RS3 tires doesn't classify as a "race car".
