My current FA500 Coilovers from 2010 have finally started leaking and I'm looking for a suspension setup that suits DD . I don't plan to track the vehicle at all, comfort and good handling would be nice.

Current wheel setup is 18x9.5 w/ 245/40/18 tires , owned this car since 2009 and haven't been lurking on the forums much since 2015 .

Thanks in advance to those that chime in.

 

Ohlins DFVs would be a solid choice IMO

 

Thanks for that recommendation, I looked up some reviews and Im pretty impressed on the feedback.

What spring rate choice did you go for?

 

If I were you i'd run what they come with out of the box as they come with fairly soft springs from the factory

 

aww too bad I just gave away 2 home depot buckets of my softer 60mm springs

 

Bilstein PSS or PSS9

 

or some V3’s I had in my DD plus you can rebuild them too
then make sure to get some rear adjustable lowering links and AMUST get an alignment from a place that knows how to do alignment for track cars FTMFW!!

 

V3's are more expensive to rebuild and the turn around time for rebuild is quite a long time from KW when the time comes to do it.

 

Can't go wrong, I love mine. My tuner was immediately sold on getting some for his car too after driving and riding in my car.

 

For the Evo, Ohlins DFV are pretty much the gold standard. 8k/10k is pretty solid for street use.

 

I don't know if it's available in US, but here in Europe Reiger brand is pretty solid. I use their dedicated Evo suspension and it's great for daily driving. Even though it's considered to be racing type it's still much softer than stock Maserati Gran Sport or Ferrari 458 Italia.

 

Reiger seemingly makes good stuff, just not well supported in the US.

I was on fortune 500 coilovers, just made the swtich to stock suspension with lowerings springs, much better daily driver

 

I was looking for the same thing and ended up with Ohlins. Couldn't be happier. They are soft enough for daily use but a definite upgrade from stock stuff.
