Currently have Bilstein PSS and they are amazing ride, but I wanted to get into tracking the car more and wanted to know which coilovers you guys would choose for ultimate tracking abilities. Keep in mind I will consider anything near $2000 a little above or below. But I don't want like a 4-5K coilover set because I don't think I need all that! Also, if there is a post already like this please direct me in the right direction.

Tein SRC is about MSRP $3100.00 but they are awasome maybe a set of used KW V3 ?? or even brand new for $ 1850.00

 

I was leaning towards these three companies. The Tein Flex with EDFC, KW Variant 3 or Bilstein PSS9. Anymore to look at or are one of these golden? I plan to track, autox and daily drive but I can tolerate harsh rides!

KW V3

 

I like the specs on KW V3, but the EDFC + Tein Flex is that a convenience factor that is silly or is it pretty nice. Also are the Teins aggressive or not as track oriented?

The KW V3 is a 2 way adjustable Coilover

 

Get the V3s. Their damping is FAR better than tein, and they perform better than even tein's double adjustable damper.

EDFC is way over-rated, and it's definately not worth the sacrifice in quality of the damper's valving.

Get the V3.

KW actually employs people with degrees called "engineers" who use "physics equations" to match "damper frequencies" harmonically to the "natural frequencies" of the particular car the dampers are designed for.


Plus I'm pretty sure Tein uses soda pop in lieu of oil in their dampers based on how they feel.

 

KW also has a 7-post (aka: shaker) rig.... !!!

 

Tein has a pogo stick with the spring removed
