Suspension!!!!!!!!

GC sells Koni, y'all know, right?

I do love the 'mystique' factor to the words "coil over"-
it's still just a shock and a spring with a few threads thrown in.

Usually accompanied by custom spring rates, strut size, top hats that dont suck, compact width...

No one is saying it with "mystique", stop trying to sound smart, coils are more then normal springs and shocks because of the massive amounts customization and adjustments you can make.

I went with CG c/o conversion and Billy sports. Rides nice, handles nice.

I'd probably go with a set of GCs and call it done.

Budget end I can only recommend HR Sport/Race with some billies or konis. Start from there if this is your first "race car". Once you start to outgrow the HR then work up to GC/TCK etc as you get more funds.

Start with the beginners setup HR + Billies though IMO, it really helps you grow into the car and get a feel for it. I have HR Race and Billies, Corners flat to a point, but is very forgiving. Once you start getting wheel lifts in every corner then its time to switch.

Main price points:

< $500-1000
Any coilover here: absolute garbage, but gets you the low stance look all the kiddies post on the hipstergrams.
Example brands are JOM, Raceland
Same price point buys nice shocks or nice springs to reuse your springs or shocks with. Best budget option.

$1000-1250
Springs + shocks: Bilstein sports/Koni yellows + H&R springs or equivalent. Very good setup, doesn't get you any instagram likes.
Nonadjustable coilovers: acceptable for DD use.....key word being 'acceptable.' Examples are: KW V1, ST Coilovers
Adjustable coilovers: still crap for the most part. Emphasis is on height adjustability, with poor damper quality (if adjustable). Examples are BC Racing, Megan Racing.

$1250-1700
Springs + Shocks: things like the Turner J-Stock kit (or equivalent) are track use oriented kits. Not ideal for DD.
Adjustable coilovers: GC Single Adjust, TCK Singles. Fantastic value per dollar, adjustments actually do something, quality damper, quality springs. Can go flat brim cap yo low if you're a 12 year old.

$1700-2500
GC/TCK Doubles, KW V3: all excellent. Above most people's ability and need.

$2500-4000
MCS/JRZ Singles: best available

>$4000
you know what you're looking for in this range, and it's the absolute best. MCS/JRZ double or triple, Ohlins, etc.

Koni singles on all 4, sleeves from the cheap Honduhh coilover kits, Hyperco springs
(they make a 5" that works great with just a hat in back)
weld some perches for the coils onto the stock struts in front.
And splurge for the Ground Control front top bits- they're worth the extra $100 over
the Ireland parts, just for the sex factor.

[Massimo]

A Set of Motion Coilovers with overnight shipping from Atlanta will do nicely.
