Coil overs
#137
so would you reccomend installing 10/8 instead? I'm currently and plan to continue, at least for a while to run a 200TW tire, probably stick with Advan AD08Rs or A052s. Currently running 265/35R A052s...

I wouldn't think it would be that much difference! If i do swap the springs, is there any thing else I would have to change on the coilovers? I assume the reccomended settings from Ohlins would no longer apply?

ok so...after 10 pages of complete head spinning info here, it seems the ohlins are the way to go. I wanted to chime in because I’m right on the brink of ordering a set of coilovers (was thinking FA initially - now the ohlins fanboys got me all greased up). Still shopping around to find the best price and figure out if I can get the spring swapped pre shipment - not a deal breaker.
Here’s my plan - I’m going to run nt03 18x10.5 with Federal RSRs. Call me silly on my stock setup (intake and exhaust) but I’d rather buy once, cry once.
My car will be used about 2-3 times a year at the track, and driven about once a week on the street (has replaced my wife’s car in the garage) my daily is a minivan (company car) - and yes I’m a father of two. So daily driving is out of the picture.
I don’t mean to steal the thread OP, but I figured it was best to post here in case someone is in the same boat as me. Any input is appreciated (what else do I need?). Great thread BTW - tons of info here! I’m a mere peasant when it comes to suspension knowledge

Contact Performance Shock Inc in Sonoma. They will have the best price and can do springs and revalues before shipping to you.

Call or email.
And we're not Ohlins "fanboys". The fanboy term implies you purchase parts simply because of the name. A lot of us have run multiple sets of coil overs and know the Ohlins are the best single adjustable in the price range.

Pick a spring rate as a starting point. If you don't know, work with Performance Shock to find values that match your use case. There is some adjustment range, but it helps if you can tell them up front if you're likely to move up or down within that range.
The 18x10.5 wheels are difficult to fit. You might want to investigate different rear trailing arms for more clearance and maybe even a shorter spring up front. If you drop down to 18x10 you'll have a much easier time fitting the wheels.

Thanks for the input! I will give PSI a call tomorrow. I prefer to work with a local vendor (and they’re only about 7hrs north of me which is awesome).
I didn’t indend to throw around the word “fanboys” literally...just got a little excited. The quality that has shown through Ohlins performance on Evos and is backed by the testament from the community.
I purchased Eric’s (R/T Ernie) rear trailing arms about 5 years ago knowing what my future plans were 👍 although pricey, his work is incredible and it was another way for me to support our community.
Will the difference between a 10.5 and say a 10” width wheel be negligible? I would assume that an extra .5” would provide more surface area...so more traction right? I may be overthinking the extra width.
i look forward to seeing some of you at the track!

Obviously my rear quarter panels are going to hate me by the time I get these wheels fitted - but man, I’ve been drooling over some of the setups I’ve seen on here 👍
