Hey guys, I need your opinion on coilover choice, I know reviews have been covered on all makes and types of coilovers, but I want to know what you guys recommend under my circumstances.

I drive mostly on the streets and get to the track maybe 3-4 times a year. Even so, I am looking for a coilover that will perform great on the track, but I want it to do so without having 20 things to adjust.

In other words, I dont want to pay an arm and a leg for the # of adjustabilities (20-way, 16-way, whatever), I don't mind paying for quality, but I want it to be easy to set-up.

Or am I wrong, do you need all that adjustment possibilities in order to get the great track ride?

Let me know what you guys think,

I think, that if this is the extent of your knowledge about coilover suspension, then I'd suggest you keep your stock suspension.

Generally speaking, when they talk about adjustments, they mean one or two adjustments (rebound and or compression). The number of adjustments is how many clicks or turns you can choose from soft to hard.

I would stay away from any shock that states it is 20-way adjustable. These companies are just trying to make a quick buck, and they are using lame marketing to get your money. These systems most likely don't to much when you adjust them, and you won't be able to get a shock dyno to see what the shock is capable of.

Start with Koni. Anything that costs less is certainly not worth it.

Thank you for your reply, I do know that coilovers have two settings, what I was reffering to when I said 16way or whatever I meant to mention to say the number of clicks. I am looking for a set up that is easier to dial in.

Anytime there is adjustability you will have to spend time tuning.

End of thread.

If your cars a DD then go with PSS9's they ride great on the street and work well on the track with street tires. 9 way adjustable.

Thank you, thats the type of opinions I was looking for.

I've been on SRC's, KW V3 CS's and now PSS's, if you want to lower your car, want stock like ride and good damping qualities then I would go with the PSS's.
They might be a bit soft for track but from what I've felt so far they'll be better than 04-07 stock suspension.

Billstein PSS. No need for adjustable dampers on a street car that might see minimal track duty. The adjustability will most likely make your car handle worse when you start to play with it.
