ill go KW V3 maybe non- robi spec...
mr furley say robi spec custom made value inside coilover??

and front 25mm, and rear 28mm sway bar...

 

Yes, they are built to Robi spec and spring rate.

 

but im thinkin get Kwv3 and get swift spring rate 8k and 10k...

or PIC.. ill look up

so what PIC and stance cost appx? i want dailydrive, track too.. over 400whp on evo...

im going autox, lapping, drag

 

Well Chris as you probably know the base KW3's have pretty soft springrates (ie softer in the rear than front, not optimal for the Evo but work). Also they do not have the valving to be able to control 8k or 10k springs. I know on Robi streets which are 7kF and 8kR he has them revalved. Going higher required a different digressive valve to control those type of springrates and provide proper damping characteristics (which this is called Robi's Clubsport).

The PIC's have good valving and their 8kF and 10kR ride real well. They are really popular with the Mid-East guys. Both Stance or PIC cost around $1300. Bob at Drift Office are a Stance dealer and said they could work some good pricing for Evo owners and the install cost they told me was almost unbelievable. Stance is really popular with all the 240 and Silvia guys. They also do revalving and rebuilds in the US and the struts themselves are probably some of the beefiest I have ever seen.

 

fu*k yeah!!! ill talk bob.. he is my homie boy!
ill ask bob for coilover.. and some jdm goodies.. but he will comeback in march..
he go Japan now.. for month. business meetings..

ya i know about stance.. i used had on my 240sx S13 coupe driftin machine Sr20det.. sadly it was stolen...

now im think get GT-R 32 and swap to Rb26dett sleeper..

thanks DBsear.. that what i thought about KW is totally silly...

 

plus i didnt know stance can go on evo too.. sweet! i love stance...

what coilover i should use
GR sport
GR+
GT+ PRO
AL+


ill check PIC soon

 

I think that the Tein flex set up is prety nice. You can get them for around 1400. The only thing about the megans, is that they dont have any rust protection on them. And we all know how much it rains up here

 

^ I agree, maybe I am partial to Tein cause I have the SS, but I hear the Flex's are alot better and if you get them I have an EDFC for sale for cheap, so let me know. BTW I love my Tein SS.

 

I have the flex and they have treated me well so far

 

I would opt for the GR+. That is their most popular series and what most people run on the Evo's. The monoflex are good too...can be a little harsh. Just depends on where you drive I guess. I am picky when it comes to how the car rides even being in an Evo. Be nice when I can afford Ohlins.

 

Honestly the spring rates for most of the "soft" coilovers will work fine for what the majority of this forum will do. The uber hard "Race" spring rates are for the people on this forum who really go out there and push their cars lapping.

For DD/occasional auto x/occasional lapping day its going to be overkill.

 

mmm funs......

if i have money ill go Moton... mmmm or ohlin..
but i think ill go Stance for now.. with my nice Advan RGII gold 18x10

 

Chris, how is a GT R32 going to be a sleeper again? Are u going to take the GTR off the grill? Love ya buddy!

 

GT-R32 is rb20det motor yuck.. so i want swap to GT-R34's motor n tranny n ecu an wires into GT-R32..

 

Well mainly it's not the soft springs I was referring too but mostly the front and rear spring rates. I have seen many times where sticking most off the shelf coilovers that are stiffer springs in front and softer in back just make the evo plow and understeer quite a bit. There is definately a reason why the stock evo has stiffer in the rear (and it still understeers to some extent). It can be fixed by sticking an uber stiff swaybar on the back but sometimes that just hides handling woes. I agree with you though that most people on here don't have enough driving experience to ever tell or be able to tell the difference. I just believe if you do it right the first time it will help you learn quicker. Everyone drives differently and like stiffer or softer springrates. I prefer medium springrates with supurb damping characteristics. Robi will tell you some of the fastest cars around dont run stiffer than 9k springs.
