Looking for coils!

I'm trying to find coilover kit that will suit my needs. On Now i have Eibach springs and i started having problems with my stock suspention.
I'm trying to find something for street/track 60/40 using. Main thing I need is smooth ride. I live in LITHUANIA (where roads are like in 19th century)so i need to drive on bumpy or rough road. Im Thinking about Tein super street/ KW V3. Does KW really so better then Tein? Thank you.

Tein is great, but if you are going off road or rough road, I would stick with something of in the Monotube variety. Tein twin tube coilovers are great but you should know that they are not the best choice for the track or rough road situations. Many people here debate over what is the best coilover, but I would try to locate people in the same climate and region as you who understands what your car faces. Some coilovers hold up well in most conditions. Others you have to take extra care.

I would do more searching and be specific. But a good place to start would be the thread that started a week or so ago. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...coilovers.html

I recommend HSD, I think Driftworks may give you a good quote since they are closer. If you cant find a dealer let me know.

KW you will not have any issues. If you can find a great deal with the price I would encourage you to go down that path as well.

What sort of problems are you having with your stock suspension?

When i installed Eibach springs after ±7months i started hearing strange knocking sound when i ride slowly on bumpy road, then i took my car to service and the guarantee changed my struts, after 2moths same ****, and now they say F*ck off it's because of your springs ;/ (Maybe i should mention that im on 275/30/19 tyres.)
