BC actually has made coilovers for many brands before, but now they´ve started to make their own, and I can tell you theyre good..


so would you prefer them over the megans?



id say if you have the cash yes.



or if your cheap you can ride ground controls tongue.gif

I don't think you will get a proper answer about suspension and actually racing a car on here. I can only think of 2 people on this forum who actually track their car and no I am not including autocross.

Stay away from Megan/D2/K-Sport if you plan to actually track the car properly. They fail under track conditions, I have seen it occur. Tein will be your cheapest option and price point.

pnly couple who track their cars? Time Attack, right here!

And sunwukonqq, I cant tell as I have actually even seen megan set on my own eyes.. But I like them!
Actually now I´d need stiffer anti-rollbars in order to make the coilovers softer..

sunwukongg, trdproven has em for over a year now. you can go ask him his personal input. ask the people that bought in the BS forum who bought megans.

You dont mean stiffer, you mean thicker. And the difference if its hollow or solid diameter bars.
Go for something along the lines of a whiteline 22mm hollow rear adjustable swaybar.

Having a crazy stiff car doesnt mean awesome handling. If you want play with bumpyness and ride comfort that from the shocks and springs. But swaybars will make your suspension and tyres perform better, making the car more responsive while delivering more grip. And reducing body roll, by increases the amount of force required to make the body roll.

yeah, I know!

but getting thicker bars means I can use softer suspension on the races, which is more the way I like..

ksports would be rough for backroad racing. but i am assuming the roads by you would be fairly nice so they could be an option.
go with a softer option i guess. i like stiff coils and my ksports have held up wonderfully

omg we have a road just like that were i live..awesome.



lol im not even gonna start thinking about if you come around one of those corners and someone else is actually driving on the road lol


my ground controls do fine as long as theirs no pot holes or other sh*t on a smooth road their amazing

and even tho a couple people on here track others still put just about the same stress driving on some roads..so you cant really rule that out

that road looks nice but isn't a smooth surface so ideally track coilies may be too hard as you could find your self skipping off the roads, maybe some thing a little more forgiving like some street coilies, poly bushes and some bigger ARBs would be better suited. as for the best street coilies things that have already been suggested like BC's, Teins or Megans read some reviews on them and decide which will be best suited for your needs

im sure sway bars / sway end links, and poly bushings will be a good upgrade
