Are coilovers worth it?

I also have stance on my car I have the gr pro's and really would love to have smikes impression on these coilovers...the spring rates are "right" as in 9k fronts 11k rears and the valving seems really smooth even on the stiffest setting it'd be awesome if someone close to smoke that had stance and fortune autos so we can actually get a "quality" review

I am far from the only one who can reviews

MA has a lot of AX events and track days. I know, I run in a bunch of them.

Get some of the experienced Evo guys out that way together with the range of suspensions. And spend day rotating around cars getting a fell for them all on a course.

You have an 8 like me and I'm still running with the stock suspension, albeit with some upgrades like the Whiteline Roll center adjustment, upgraded sway bars, end links and upgraded bushings. It's rare that another car is able to stay with through any turn. It's not until the straights where the bigger hp cars will catch up.

Again though, learn to drive the car to it's full potential first, then start upgrading as you will be better informed on the improvements you need to make. If possible, try to get some seat time in an EVO or awd car with someone who's an experienced driver. I've got to ride with some experienced drivers and it blows my mind. Ridind with a stunt driver around a track was insane.
