thanx alot for your input bro i like to be sure about things than taking a chance and getting info from you guys is gonna help me make a better choice in the end. I have another question i posted earlier for the megan coilovers whats the difference between track an street? also about the buddy clubs the N+ and racing spec? please thanx
Definitely wise to ask questions before making a big purchase!

Difference between megan track and street: I know that both the street and track versions use the same spring rates (10kg/mm). I think the track version has small damper adjustment increments than the street version. The track version may have a larger damper diameter... not sure, just speculating.

Not sure on the BC's, but I have heard that the N+ dampers have been found to leak.

You know, you might as well do things right the first time around...... you may consider checking out the KW Variant 3 coilover. E-Autosports has a great price on them FYI.

www.speedcraftac.com
we need 2 more people to get for this deal..for our cars...its about 800 dollars plus shipping...its really nice deal...but i am trying to get two more people in....anybody interesting?
my friend sells ksport, pm me if you want to buy now, its his decision but might consider matching your price as is.

coilovers:
-if you dont autox/ track, if your car is lo miles just replace the springs, coilovers go where you dont
-if you autox/track buy something hi performance, spend some $$$$.$$
-just hi milage... ksport or something rebuildable

Bilstiens pss9 (35mm or 45mm) aren't meant to be slammed. Each coilover has a lowering limit before you can cause damage. I hear the T1-R can go pretty low.

So you are saying that the max a set of Pss9 can lower you is 35mm to 45mm?

The PSS9s can take you down to a tight one finger gap all the way around (I'm running Azenis 225/45-17F/ 255/40/17R) at their lowest setting. You can lower the collars even more, but it then is outside of Bilstein's recommended specs...

My fenders are NOT rolled, and at full compression it WILL rub a little bit on the tabs.

I've elected to raise it up about 10mm from the lowest recommended perch settings. They now DO NOT rub under full compression. It's also now a tight TWO finger gap...
