any of u guys have experience with these coilovers?
ill be running non staggered 17x9 set up with re-o1R street radial
im planning to track the car quite a bit,and ill be doing a lot of driving on winding road (touge)
since ill be driving my car quite a bit on the street and 95% of the times on street tires, i dont want something too stiff,but i want some good dampers,IF in the future im running s-tires
i can upgrade to stiffer spring
what u guy recommend
thanks

the dilemma

-Zeal function-x (1st choice)
-Ohlins dfc (3rd choice)
-Spoon full spec damper kit

save a bit more and go with the
-Amuse hi-tech damper( radial setting) 7kg/8kg (2nd choice)

 

Check out last month's issue of sport compact car. They compared a lot of suspension.

... although they were tested on different cars with differing mods, its still some good information in there.

 

i read it !
zeal and amuse are not in the line up...

 

I would vote Ohlins.

In my experience, there is a significant "feel" difference between Japanese and Euro suspension.

I have run Tein in the past and am current on Bilstiens and things have never felt petter.

 

If you don't want to spend as much money and still get a good suspension, look at Ground Control adjustable coil overs with Koni Yellow adjustable shocks. They work just fine on the street, at the autoX, and on the track.

Ask yourself this: are you really going to be driving the car at the 10/10th limit (be honest) and are you really trying to shave .05 of of your lap times at Laguna Seca? If not, why spend the extra money unless you want to say you have this and that product on your car.

That's my opinion.

 

AMUSE FTW

dont forget the kwv3

 

why amuse ?
im kinda looking for facts and experience with the coilovers in questions.
like stroke lenght,piston rod diameter,weight !!
since amuse are using bilstein shock,what u guy think think about the pss9 with stiffer swift spring?? kinda cheaper than all my other choice!!

any info on aragosta, or anyone have heard about biot,im thinking about these !!

You say you are planning to track the car quite a bit. Sounds like the future tense to me.

Have you taken it to the track yet to see what it can currently do? I think you'll find the answer is "a hell of a lot" even in stock form.

Why not run it a few times, see what (if anything) is limiting you and then address that specific issue rather than just assuming that xxxx brand coilovers will result in better times? Once you get out on the track and figure out what specifically you want to change I think you'll be able to ask a more specific question and get better answers. Your driving style and skill level are going to factor into that conversation as well.

I know I personally am wiser to spend money on track time and driver training than parts at the moment.
