Hey everyone, I'm in the process of chosing suspension for my car. (my current setup is stock GSR shocks with Tanabe gf210s). My car is a daily with occasional track days.

I got my mind set on Megan Street Coilovers (of coarse from ZEUS ), but I'm also considering MR shocks with hotchkins springs.

So here is my question, what setup would last longer on a daily setup? I but around 17k miles a year on my evo, and I don't want to be rebuilding the coilovers every 12 months or replaceing a blown MR Shock.

Thanks

 

Depends largely on the roads you drive on. The bumpier the road the quicker the shock will wear contrary to popular belief that driving the car on the track will wear out shocks faster. Bilsteins are known to last for ever (almost). So from a longevity point of view I would choose the Bilstein MR dampners and swift springs ...

 

I will either have my MR bistein for sale or I'll sell my Megan coilover from zeus that has only been on my car for like a week. If you are interested, shoot me a PM

 

your better off going mr shocks with swift springs, rather than hotchkis

 

Yup, because swift redesigned there spring for the MR bilsteins.

 

Compared to Coilovers?

Is the life of coilovers really that short?

 

u need to rebulit the coilover in a year or 2 depending on the road condition.
