Best Coilovers?

Ok Ive searched and found no such thread comparing multiple coilovers so I thought Id make one.

I'm thinking about buying a set in May, and I plan to go to the track at least once every 2 months, maybe even more.

Could you give input on your coilovers or ones you know about? I want to get some sweet ones, but nothing thats going to murder me price-wise. Thanks

KW v1 or v2 are pretty good for street/mild track use.

I personally don't have them, but have heard good things from others.


BTW, search is your friend

Whats your price range? Are you looking for entry level, or full on race material since you plan to track alot? Is this also you DD? If you are able to answer such question, it will help narrow your search down.

Hmmm, probably nothing more than 2k. Thats about how much money Ill be able to spend at that time. I also have a Prius which I drive about 60% of the time, I take the evo out on spirited runs and such though. Im not positive EXACTLY what I want yet, just want to see my options

You searched and found no such thread but their are two or three in the last couple days covering this EXACT same topic There is no "best" coilover. You have to pick which works for what you plan to do with the car.
