Which Coilovers

(1/6) > >>

alastairc:
I do 400 miles of A1 and M25 every week plus some local B roads.

Trackday twice a year so would like to get some better suspension.

BUT i have no idea which ones, they all look the same, the reviews are similar - has anyone got any experience with these:

compared to

or any other advice or suggetions....

Much Appreciated.

Top Cat:
Both are great choices, but can be found a lot cheaper than that.  :wink:

The more adjustability the better really, but in reality once you have them on the car, you wont be doing too much adjusting if any.  I used to have KW V2's on mine, and the ride was great just as comfortable as stock ride but with added track day grip. The V3 version gives you a slightly firmer ride as it is a little bit more track focused but you also get the extra compression adjustability, so if you can find someone who knows how to adjust the compression and rebound correctly you should get a very comfortable ride.  :happy2:

So, i need to keep it (fairly) comfortable for the long miles but get some lowering and a little extra grip for trackdays?

So V1 or V2?

And is there anywhere where a comparison of the different types has been written?

Neither of those in my opinion.

Bilstein PSS10's, much better design (monotube) and much easier to alter the set-up compared to the V3's.  :happy2:

you do trackdays twice a year, so in that case id say you really dont need coilovers at all.  you would be much better off with a good performnce set of shcks and lowering springs.
