Default Which coilover setup are you running?

I've been running the Tien Flex w/edfc for a bit now and although I love them on smooth roads, I use the car daily and later on would like change when they wear out.

Please rate your setup on street and track with some commentary.



Tien Flex:

Street: 6/10
Track: 7/10

They are a bit bouncy on the street, spring rates are really high, less body roll than stock for sure and is really good on the stiff setting with smooth roads.

Bilstein PSS9:

Street: 10/10
Track: 7/10

Excellent range of adjustment, all 9 steps are usable. Street handling and ride are noticeably better than ('03) stock, less jiggly over small bumps, slightly firmer overall but very comfortable. Very sophisticated and well-tuned feeling.

Track performance is pretty good on the stiffest setting (1), much better than stock. But, of course, you'd be better off with a dedicated ultra-stiff and expensive track set-up if you are spending lots of time on the track.

You forgot Ground Control. I use GC with Eibach springs and the stock strut--works great and I'm told that a switch to the Koni struts is an awesome setup.
