best coilovers under 3k?
Hey guys I'm just wanting to get an outside option for the best racing coilovers under 3k. Going over a little would even be fine if the performance is worth it. So far I think I'm coming with the ohlins RT coilovers.

I have Ohlins and they feel amazing. Only have street driven them though. They're up for sale if you're interested.

You may want to consider the HKS Hipermax as they're well within your budget and have a really great ride in the X out of the box. The Vehicle Dynamics engineer for Mitsu R&D really liked the GTs on my car. And they're the same coilovers Mitsu installed on the "Final Concept X."

Actually, the coilovers on the Final Concept X were HKS Hipermax Max IV SPs, not GTs.

We recommend Ohlins- but are also working/waiting with JRZ for a new application that will be close to that price point- more valved for street/track not just track!

I got my Ohlins from CBRD and they have been great. It's just a shame you can't see them once they are on the car. They are so sexy I had thoughts of hanging them on my wall instead of installing them on the car.

LOL, well Chad was nice enough to send me a photo of the ones I ordered as they were putting them together so I stared at that for awhile. They are pretty. Although my ex couldn't understand why I thought they were so pretty, probably why she is my ex. She was so irrational about it, getting upset because I carried photos of my Ohlins with me and no photos of her. Women!

I had them on my Ducati as well, Front, rear, and steering dampener.
