Okay so I am having quite the time of it here.. By the end of the month I will be running a new complete coilover setup however I am stumped on which ones to get. Next you probably will ask me want I want to do .. Well currently its just my daily driver that I want to be able to throw around corners fast with minimal body roll or throw it into a drift if Im in the mood. And I would eventually like to get into autocross. Now I don't want to spend more than 2000 having said that I don't want 900 bucks for a box of crap..
So far I have considered the Bilstein PSS9's, Bilstein pss, H&R street performance, Ground control Complete Coil-over Kit, E36 Track / School,
However these are all kits also I was thinking just buy all the components IE Sleeves, springs, and shocks so considering that what would be a good setup. |  |  | | 01-16-2009, 02:07 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Odenton, MD Posts: 419 |
Ground controls are easy and proven. I'd start there. | | | | | 01-16-2009, 02:16 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 |

You think you'll be getting different opinions on the same subject?  | | | | | 01-16-2009, 08:31 PM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Vancouver BC Posts: 99 |
