What Coilovers do you have? What should I run?
-
I went even stiffer
. I heard that's how the ladies like it. 10kF 12kR.Have one of your friends drive you and a lady down McKee Road.
You and her won't have to do any work

You don't put cheap coils on a track car.
Okay let me rephrase myself. What's an affordable coilover that I'm not just spending out the ass for the name or something stupid that.
I'm just not trying to waste money okay? I want something that works, but I don't need a 4k coilover system.

A true track car should have ast4200's best bank for your buck, Billy's and gc's are nice but you don't have camber adjustment and you are limited to dampening with Billy's
Do they come with the spring rates I need though? I'm thinking 10kf 14kr of 12kr
Drift car mainly, but I would like to try other things as well

You pick what rate you want from 4 different spring company's H&R Swift HyperCoil or one other brand I can't think of off the top of my head, you can get 5 to 14 for rates and 60mm springs to 2.5 springs for hight, anything you want you get, soild upper rear mounts 12 way dampening camber plates pillow ball mount for the lower mount of the rear Sturt's, building a pss9 or a BC coilver to match would cost just as much in the end, most budget coilovers come with BS spring rates like 7 and 8

Just for reference I run 12k up front and 14k rear ast4200 on a hyperco spring with dampening at 6 on slicks at RA and it improved my lap time by 1.5 sec as to running pss9's revalved to pss10 and H&R 60mm springs 9kF 10kR
I thought the only company to do custom valving without charging extra and custom spring rates was bc?

BC springs are rated different as they are a cheap company and they devalve quickly,I'm speaking from a point of view not as a owner, several guys I track with had or have BC's and are looking to change, one example is a friends s2000 had BC's on it,it is strictly a track car, springs lost there rating (got soft) after 5 track days so he bought swift springs, a year later the BC's started leaking so now he is also on AST4200's, like I said I personal haven't experienced it but I have friends who have the track is way harder on suspension then people think

I guess I can prove this out once the weather starts to change around here. I am pretty sure BC also offers rebuilds / re-valving for roughly $200.
