There are many people looking at the options and I would like to have comparisons in one thread. I in particular am ready to purchase a set of coilovers but would like the best bang for the buck.

How do the various coilover setups perform on the TRACK ? Please include spring rates tested.

1: Robispec KW V3
2: KW V3
3: BC
4: Megan
5: Zeal

 

The BCs and Megans are almost the same (since BC makes the Megans).

I'd add Stance GR+ (10/10), GR+Pro (10/10), GR+Pro SSD (14/14) and AL versions of the same to your list.

I've not had the opportunity to really push the GR+Pro SSDs yet other than some cruising and high speed sweepers on the freeway and they really keep the car flat (which is something I was looking for). I've got an AutoX next weekend, so I'll see how they handle that.

 

The cars are so new that I doubt anyone can make a meaningful comparison between one coilover and another.

 

^^^ This is true the cars are very new still.. However go with Robispec. He is the man and will make your car perform on the track. He's tested plenty..

 

That is kind of a random list

 

Agreed. Putting BC and Megan on there is like throwing a McDonald's hamburger on a list of best quality meats.

 

+1 althought that's a random analogy haha

How is JIC not in the mix also?

Should be as follows:
1) Robispec KW
2) JIC FLT-TAR
3) Zeal Function X/ superfunction

 

4)HKS Hipermax III

Those just came out.

If you want quality.

 

that is spec coilovers. for rally

depenes how much money you would spend.. You can get Penske too talkingabout quality and performance only

Ohlins

http://www.ohlins.com/

 

These are great from what i hear. Difficult to get here though. We were about to get a set for a client but he switched to Ohlins at the last minute. Interesting looking top mounts too.

and of course this is probably coming from someone who has never owned a set of BC's

 

Not the fast road kit ..... still good stuff and not a bad price at £1500 - $2500

 

Thanx for the input fellas!! I have been hearing and reading alot about the Ohlins, BC's and Robispec KW's although by the look of the EVO IX at NJMP Redline Time Attack maybe those aren't quite what I an looking for Just kidding I hope everyone involved is ok.

 

Nor has any intention of purchasing any.
