Was on a cheap set of coilovers and I must say I was not satisfied with the handling dynamics. It clearly made the handling worse than stock even with much alignment tuning.
So now I have decided to go the Swift/RCE Yellows + Bilstein route due to my budget. I'd just like to urge everyone who is deciding to get cheap coilovers in hope to improve handling, don't. Just don't. |

How does the damping of the RCE T0's compare to the Bilstein or Koni damping?

The Bilsteins have a lot of low speed bump and run a lot of gas pressure. The T zeros have less low speed but are still responsive and yet more high speed damping. Autocrossers tend to prefer the Bilsteins for this reason. I will try to find the Bilstein development dyno plots to do a comparison. Both are very capable and either way would be a big improvement over stock. Myles |

^ also an advantage to the T0 is you'll have more bump travel (unless you run them super low).

What about HSD Coilovers? I have them and for a DD it feels very comfortable.
