Best street coilover
Hi,
I plan to install a coilover set soon, what is the best coilover i can take for street use? Maybe some futur track days also. My friend run on BC with a 350z and it feel confortable, what is your suggestions? I look for Tein maybe : http://www.jscspeed.com/catalog/Scio...cion_FR_S.html

the BEST...in my opinion it is the Ohlins road and track... but at $3500 it aint cheap!
good luck, if i had the money i would get them in a second... if i was a t a lower budget i would try the AST set of, even lower budget get the Koni inserts with RCE springs! |

Yeah i have already read a lot on the RCE springs but i plan to use my car during winter and maybe with the coilover, i can adjust the height before the winter season begin.

Ohlins is overkill, but they seem to have made it for the street...their discription "The focus has been clearn from the very beginning - superior road handling without sacrificing comfort in your day-to-day transports."

Try that with BC dampers and you'll get that "It's a performance suspension" ride...

Have you ever been in a 1,200lb spring rate car on high end dampers that rides like stock?

I am sure that was very impressive and at the same time very expensive. I run 564lb springs front and rear in my personal car and thats plenty comfortable for myself personally and performs well from the little testing I have been able to do. I do have to say however that if a guy doesn't set their suspension up properly no matter what kit they have, it'll ride horribly. It seems to me that a lot of the people that buy BC's usually throw them on and adjust them incorrectly then post negative reviews on the forums. |

Although I haven't seen that many negative reviews. The high end damper guys don't respect the whole 'anodize it another color and put a different sticker on it' sales methodology, that's most of the negative comments I see about them. In the end, they simply can't compete with 2, 3, 4 way dampers, regressive valving, etc when it comes to controlling higher spring rates over varied shock velocities. Having said that, if the street was my only concern, I'd still say stock lol
