coilover suggestions?

peopleontheradio · 05-19-2009, 02:34 PM

i am about ready to purchase coilovers and i just dont have my mind set on what set i want. I want a pretty stiff set up and i will be tracking my car and do canyon runs about twice a week so i dont mind losing some comfort at all. Currently i am debating between hks hypermax III, kw v2, v3 or clubsports but really dont have the money for clubsports... anyways does anyone know how low the hks coils can go. I wanna run a pretty slammed set up but i dont know how low they go??? also any info from you guys on which coilover you think i should go with and why would be great.

thanks in advance!

I'm liking my V3s. You can drop them to the point of scraping the bumper... Great on track, lots of adjustment range.

Mikey,

If you are looking for a track oriented coilover, I don't think KW is the way to go. If you do KW, go with the V3s so you can adjust the rebound and compression. However, KW is a softer coilover so I think you will be better suited with something along the lines of H&R. These coils run stiffer than the KWs and are designed for a track vehicle (although they can be driven on the street). The KWs are designed for a street driven vehicle that will see track use and needs the adjustability.
