Ok, I have done some searching and have found very little info regarding the questions I have.

First off, what are some good spring rates for the x gsr for street driving and an occasional autox? I had a civic with 12/10k rates for street/autox and felt it was a little stiff but it was not my dd. The evo is.

As for brands, I had Ksports on my civic and they were very nice. I had 0 issues with them. I would like to know what brands people have had good and bad experiences with. I know that most ppl will throw out the kw/ ohlins setups but I dont have 3-5k to drop on suspension for an autox every once and a while. I am wondering what cheaper brands of coilovers people have had. Ksport, D2, Megan, BC, etc...

Thank You in advance.

 

67 views and no one has anything to say, good or bad? I posted this thinking there would be a lot of useful info to be had by one of the largest evo forums out there.

 

I think part of it is this topic has been discussed many times. You should be able to find some useful information on reviews on coilovers in evo x suspension section of forum...or other forums...as I did. Goodluck

would likely be the best place to start, full of useful information. Also best or good spring rates is not easy to answer. There are more variables at play beyond the spring rate. Valving of the strut plays an important part of this as well. This is what makes it extremely difficult to judge what coilover setup reigns supreme. The reason why KW and some of the other brands are mentioned first and highly, is because they have had a good track record / feedback as well as extensive tests for this and other vehicles, with a consistency that stays rather the same. (good) Something that is not easy to do is repeat success across vehicle platforms.

The other factors in play is the driver. Everyone is uniquely different in what they want out of their car. There are some things that one driver wants, that another driver doesnt. It is very very difficult to make a product that is widely accepted by a wide range of drivers. Very few brands have done this.

You mentioned, "street driving and an occasional autox" there are many evo x owners that have coilovers that fit this profile. search the threads analyse the feedback.

 

well i will just say that i just put some d2 coilovers on my 2010 gsr and they are way stiff compared to stock atleast. My main intensions were to lower the car without getting bounced around however that is not the case. If i could i would get rid of them cuz i feel like the car takes a beating everytime i drive it. I would spend extra next time to get some quality coilovers. Ive heard some ppl changing the springs on the d2 so that may be my next step. Good luck and remember not to go the cheap way like i did...lol

 

I daily drive with stance coilovers 12k 10k...so my opinion is probably not the most helpful...I enjoy the stiff ride.. no homo

 

Orly..

 

Check out Stance GR+ Pro or AL+ Pro

 

haha NO! I SAID NO HOMO SO ITS NOT GAY

 

Lmao!!!!

 

KW is in the 2k area so you are not spending 3-5k unless you mean 3-5k with tires, mount and balance and alignment etc..

 

I would make love to my Robi spec coilovers if I could. Hands down the best mod.

 

Aside from quality lowering springs on some MR Bilsteins, the absolute cheapest coilover setup that I'd consider would be the H&Rs because they use Bilstein shocks.

You can get them for $1498 last I checked, which is a bit more than the brands you mentioned, but the internals are light years ahead for reliability and durability, etc.
