debating on which set up would be better for daily driving .... and track.. which suspension would give you the most of out the system..

 

anyone??

 

for track use....i'd go with GC/koni setup, its basically the same price as for both of the setups you metioned. Also you get 100x more choices on spring rates.

but most track/auto-x cars are sitting on GC/koni setups...teins are good but for the money the gc/koni setup dominates. Why do you think so many people use this setup.

 

You can easily be competitive with either setup. It truly depends on the setup, as well as your driving. Doesn't matter if you have the best of the best, if it isn't even fitted to what you plan on doing then that will be your downfall. If anything, people should be more concerned on the people who they buy from and their experience with the coilover systems they sell. Rather than just purely brand name. There are a lot of grear coilover companies, GC/Koni/KW/H&R/Tein/Buddy Club, the list goes on. People dominate not due to what coilover they run, that obviously helps, but they dominate because they know how to drive. A good coilover system is the one of the means to become a better driver, and depending on what you plan on doing someone that is knowledgeable should be able to provide you with a setup that will cater to your driving style and experience.

It's kinda like RC car racing, loose is fast. You can have the best RC car in the world, but if you don't practice, and it's not setup for your liking then your not going to dominate. A lot of beginners jump and run the TEAM setup, which is usually a lil loose and they tend to not stay with the standard setup. Standard setup which is made to suit most track conditions and be a good BASE start. But even then the track will determine what will work best, and that is when time and experience comes into play, not what brand shock it runs or etc. But if your good, then you can almost drive anything, even if the car is setup a badly, they just have proper throttle control. People may laugh, but if you ever raced RC cars then you know it ain't no joke either when it comes to suspension tuning. In other words get a system from someone that can get you a good base system to start with that will work well with what you plan on doing and work from there. Good luck!

 

any one else???
