Default Coilover Suggestions

Hello all!

I Need some help picking out some Coilovers for my AP2. I tried the Official Coilover Thread and didnt get much info and now the search is down. My S is my daily driver so i'm looking for something with a little smoother ride. I understand its a roadster so it comes with the lumps but i drive daily 100 miles+ so anything that wont rattle my teeth would be great and I'm not looking to slam my car or anything. Budget is about $1200 or less.

Right now i'm looking at Billstien PSS, Buddy Club N+ , and Megan Streets but any suggestions would be great.



Thanks in advanced

What is your budget? There is a coilover available for just about every budget level.

Do you want to be able to control the settings and tune the setup?

I believe the Billstiens will be your best choice for daily use. They aren't as stiff as others, but if your only using them for DD driving, they would be the most comfortable because that is what they were designed for. They will also be extremly reliable.

How long do the Bilsteins usually last before requiring a rebuild?

Tein CS if you never plan on a track day it's also within your budget. They can be set softer than Stock, and as stiff as an AP1. Not much more than that.

PSS9's are a better choice overall IMO since they are somewhat motorsport worthy but they are more money.
