So, took my car out this past weekend for a spirited drive in some of the neighboring mountain area's we have out here in Norther California and realized my Swift Springs paired with my Stock Bilstiens aren't cutting it. So I'm in the market for some coilovers, and wanted to get some feedback/recommendation on a descent set that wont make me cringe (both budget wise and noise) ! My budget is $2500 and would like to get something that comes with front camber plates. Have been looking at what Fortune Auto has coming for us EVO X owners. There 510 series looks very clean. As for general information about how I drive my car, its 75%DD 25% track/auto x. I will be running a Rear Sway Bar as well, so recommendation on Spring rates for front and rear would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Are you interesting in a Cobb 25mm rear? I have one that I'm not using.

 

PM me.

Back to OP!

 

I would probably be looking at a 10k/10k spring combo, maybe 10k/12k max if you want a more tail happy car or want to use less rear sway bar stiffness. Dial those numbers down 2k for a more tame setup assuming the shocks are tuned for the spring rates in question.

So far I'm happy with the BC Racing ER series coilovers, although their real test will be surviving the 2010 One Lap of America this spring. Considering their $1750 price tag they are one of the best values for their list of features. The $95 lifetime replacement per shock is also going to limit expenses down the road as well.

Other coilovers I was considering from least to most expensive were Endura-Tech, AMR, and KW Variant 3. Without finding someone that has compared them on the same car it will be tough to decide. Your best bet is to talk with one of the suspension experts or vendors on these boards about your car handling goals and go from there.

 

For $2500 you can pretty much get any coilovers you want. Not much of a budget there... I know not many Evo owners run them, but I run HKS Hipermax on both of my Evos and love them. Cusco and BC are some other good ones. You can get a Cusco swaybar while you're at it...

 

Stance GR+ 3-Way SSD

 

Saw those! They look clean. SSD is custom correct? What spring rate are you running if you don't mind me asking? There a bit more then $2500 according to stances website. Unless there is a vendor on here willing to work that price tag!

Anyone running the AL+Pro's from Stance?

 

Anyone run the BC Racing ER Series Coilovers. They Look very clean, and have external reservoir. Looks like they are willing to custom Valve there coilover sets for anything that has more the 2kg difference between front and rear, as well as offer custom spring rates at no additional cost which is great.

Anyone? Would love to hear some feedback on these from an actual user.

 

why dont u go with a suspension tuner.... Like Robi or Mueller. I would say Mueller

 

Why not the Eibach 2 ways? Koni dampers with AWESOME valving, Eibach quality springs (not generic poor quality springs), lots of adjustment options. Handsdown the best valving in that price range.

As mentioned I just installed them but haven't tracked the setup yet to see how they are at the limits with stiffer shock settings. The roads around here are torn up to hell and back, so far light to moderate bumps in the road are fine, big dips are felt but not insane unless you are going over speedbump sized chop. BC Racing will also valve the shocks for whatever spring combo you go with with a slight delay on shipping.

I'm sure there are others that have tracked these somewhere, I'll be able to weigh in my opinions within the next month.

I forgot to mention those Eibach 2way Coilovers which look like a good setup as well.

 

PM me how much a set of the Eibach Multi-Pro-R2 Kit with 2 way damper with Camber plates would set me back. Would be interested in these.
