I need to decide on which full coilover setup is best for me and wanted you guys to help me out with your reviews on a coilover setup you have or have driven etc, plus if you can post average price they go for and what you recommend. im a weekend racer and its a daily driver, so ride comfort adjustability is a plus!!

 

the popular pick would be the mugen lowdown.


i'll post my review once i get my zeals....

yes of course, but how much $$ we talking here?

 

lowdowns are about $1500

a cheaper route you could look into is..
revalved koni yellows w/ ground controls

heeh i have ground control coilovers now on stock shocks and was planning on getting koni's just considered a full coilover setup before getting the shocks, i mean you figure $550 for shocks and $250 coilovers, thats $800 right there, a few more bucks and you got a full coilover setup ..i see apexi ws sells pretty cheap used for like $600~ so then i might sell my coilovers..

 

i like my tein SS, under a grand and very nice and adjsutable. for track days, you can really run a set up or something everyday the wife or girlfriend wont mind on the street

 

Thats the one I want to hear about.

 

I actually like my Apex'I WS coilovers. its a very good ride on the streets. Oh and i am selling them at a very negotioably price of 600 dollars if not lower! Just make me an offer.

I have Tein HAs with 12k/10k springs, which I like a lot. They have a wide range of settings for stiffness from fairly soft to very stiff. I dont track my car, but they feel very good on the streeet and I am happy with them.

lol how much do they go for anyways?

damn i had a chance to get it for 1000 CAD from japanese auction but .. oh well i didnt have luck

 

 

from what AJ tells me they are 3500+ USD.
Hyper Rev states its 398000Y (last i checked, could be wrong) so USD 3250 for the coilover without the compression and rebound adjustability.
The one with compression and rebound is 418000Y so USD 3400.
I am gauging this by the presense of a seperate tank for the second set. Anyway very expensive in Japan not to mention shipping it here and marking it up.

 

What would help alot of us, is that when you post a review comment on ride characteristics:
Is it better than stock, stiffer, can be made softer than stock or equal to stock. Degree of adjustability, spring rates, price paid, where purchased, have you used it on a track/autocross/just street, etc. etc.

Keep up the reviews. Thanks !!!

 

unfortunately my review will only be for the street on the zeals.. until spring time. i don't track in the winter. the zeals, however, have been noted for being the easiest to adjust the dampening...w/o any outside help (EDFC!).

 

I love my Buddy Club Race Spec Dampeners. Great tunability and yet tolerable for street use, when on the "softest" setting! Would have nothing else, like them 10 times more then my old Tein HA's!

 

don't waste money on HA, get like Zeal or Buddy, even SRR is better than HA, just my opinion

 

I have a set of Tein REs forsale for DC2R for $1550 brand new if anyone is interested...
