Coilovers question!

Looking to get a set of coils and I want to just barely close the gap between the fender and tire. Will be running a set of 19x10.5 with 265/30 tires. Does Ohlins allow for that much of a drop? Or maybe the Kw v3?? Any recommendations??

Thanks!

Do you use the car for track use at all? Or are you looking to just lower it? Because you could use much cheaper coilovers if all your doing is looking for a drop.

maybe Raceland will make a $400 coilover for your lowering needs.

You know, lowering springs would do the job for you without costing a pretty penny and still be great quality. Coilovers are for those who really want to go all out and can afford it.

If you're just daily driving with occasional track use, lowering springs are a good choice. But saying you have coilovers has it's own attraction too if you're into that.

Well I just bought a set of Godspeed mono rs Coilovers. I know they are cheap. But I'll never track my car. So I know these will good for street use. For the price.
