Lowering for performance

<< < (2/2)

ROH ECHT:
There are coilovers you can use for both track and street...just going to cost you. However, if you are not likely going to track it hard...go with a street performance. Lower priced C/O's are as you said, aesthetics and looks. They took what coil-overs are meant for and cheapened them for the cool factor and one can say "I have coil-overs". One may have paid $500usd for them rather than $3500usd, but hey...still got coil-overs!

Without getting an expensive and adjustable set, you will have to sacrifice comfort for performance. I have H&R SuperSport springs in front and H&R Street Performance C/O springs and adjusters in back with Bilstein B8 dampers...I also have H&R front and rear ARB's. The thing is a beast in the twisty's and at high speeds, but awful to ride in for a daily. Wife hates it!

I say if looking into C/O's for some performance value(C-of-G and all) because C/O's go lower than springs do, go middle of the road and consider the warranty. If you still need to remain flatter while cornering, add a rear ARB and begin at softest setting. Adding a front ARB is when it becomes near unbearable....but I like it.  :drinking:
