actually looking for a good coilver system for s2k for daily driving..nothing too crazy...want a set that has the ability to go real LOW..let me know

 

i love my tein RA

 

do they go low?

 

or tein flex too

 

yeah i was wondering about the tein flex too, do they drop low and ride good

 

i have them i love them havent lowered them to the height i want still lettin them settle in and and then lower them to my liking...plus have to get my allignment

 

I think RAs might be a little stiff for daily driving. I suggest Flex or Buddy club... both i have heard good things about.

 

I have D2's and if you have time to play with them they are pretty good, maybe a little too stiff for most folks but I like it that way. I have heard really good things about Megan as well.

Oh yeah Go Chargers!

 

the best coilover system is the one that suits all of your needs

 

oh and by the way...

Tein Flex Sucks

 

Koni Yellows and Comptech Adjustible spings. Rides good and goes super low.

Plus its cheap, everything it sounds like you're looking for.

Depends on what you use them for. Street only they are okay, but anything for the track or auto-x and yes, they are complete garbage.

everyone that owns them that i talk loves them for the first 5k miles, and after thay they seem to take a crap. plus the edfc gets old fast...i had them, i sold them...i &lt;3 zeal now. ill never buy fanccy coilovers again...

 

Buddy Clubs are stiffer than any of the low end teins. Plus they suck i wouldnt recommend them. I just got done swapping a blown shock. Comptechs suck as well. Pain in the *** to adjust and the lock bolt strips and rusts easily.

Any way you go, if you slam it with 17s or larger your going to rub the fender well unless you run the suspension really stiff.

Zeals aren't fancy?

 

How many of you guys that say tein flex suck at the track have actually been to a track? Or are you guys just going off what "someone said" ?

 

I tracked the hell out of stock ones.

Spring/shock tuning on the streets are related to absorbing bumps, road imperfections, fat passengers, etc. When you take it to the tracks, they serve a higher purpose. They are supposed to absorb body motions from hard braking/accelerating, at the same time maintaining a contact patch with the road. People throw 12/12 springs, swing it all the way to stiff and wonder why they lift their inside wheels hopping a candy-stripe.

This comes in to play when you drive a car using a lot of weight transfer. Using a spring rate and compression/rebound setting that allows you to feel the weight shift in transition driving, and movements in between gas/brake, and during shifting.

Hard springs/shocks will DAMPEN all the weight transfer during braking, then throw it back towards the rear as soon as you get off the pedal. If you're quick enough to catch it, you won't scrub the fronts. It gets tedious trying to "catch" your car instead of "guiding" it throw the turns.

comptech adjustable springs= $695
koni yellows= $199 x 4

everything total=$1491, almost 1500.

its not cheap. tein flex, rs, cs, and ra are in the same relative price range as what you are describing.

If you're looking for something to go real low, then you're not looking for the "best". Sounds to me like you need a cheap coilover with lots of adjustability. That would be the "best" for you.

If you're looking for the "best" coilover for circuit racing, then you would look at something other than the cheapies.

How about something like these? D2 Racing Coilovers

 

im not trying to steal ur thread but...whats a perfect coilover that can handle speedbumps and does not bottom out...i dont want to drop the car so low where the wheels can pretty much touch the fender...id say from the stock height, probably 1 to 1.5 inch lower max...what would recommend on that that will come close to stock ride quality or better?
