10/8 with a big-a$$ rear bar or 10/10 or 9/9 and balanced bars? (That's my guess.)

i love it when people mistake "comfortable" with "soft". let me guess, BC racing/Taiwanese rainbow coilovers ride "stiff" and thus handle awesome to you?

couldnt agree more.. Just because the taiwan crap is "nice and firm" doesnt mean it handles better, means the dampening in the shock is **** ahah with ohlins you get a complient ride whilst still holding up in the stroke for hard cornering.. hence the DFV (dual flow valve) allows you to do this.

Ohlins are the best street / track coilover you can get for under $4K.

End of story.

End of story? I think not.

I just recently installed Tein dual valve Street Flex and they are very responsive at the track and also on the street/bumpy roads. The Mono Flex was way harsh on the street, but handled much better on the track.

IMO the Tein Street Flex are the best bang for your buck for "road and track" purposes.

Yeah my $850 megan racing coilovers did a damn good job against the cars with kw's, ohlins, motons, ast's, and jrz's on them

I wouldn't really run japanese coils unless the tracks you go to are pretty smooth. Out here in California 90% of the tracks aren't very smooth, so the japanese coils didn't perform that well. Personally i'd run a set of kw v3's with some stiffer rates or a some ast 4100's
