give me your best opinions (ithink thats how you spell it not very good at spelling lol)
 
Bear in mind that if you want the best, you're gonna have to pay the price. IIRC, the ohlins units used in rallying etc can go upto 20k per corner!! So the question you've asked is a little too general to give a realistic answer. Do you have a budget?
 
I sell a few sets of BC Br Racing coilovers to EK9 owners. Had plenty of good reviews about them. They are on an EK9 special. £560.25 delivered.
 
There is a group buy on GAB coilovers on CivicLife. £440, which is an awesome price for brand new japanese coilovers.....
 
What are you looking to use a coilover for?

If you just run your car on the streets i advise springrates of 8k front and 6k rear. Also you can use topmounts with the center of the topmounts made out of rubber.

If you would like to use your car on the track aswell i sugest springrates of 10k or 12k front and 8k or 10k rear. I would also use a set with pillowball mounts for the extra response. We have made a set like this for our testcar and it definately made a big difference to the set of OMNIpower the car had before.

Thats just basic advice, rebound, preload etc is another thing

These were our prototypes, they are going in production as we speak.

no such a thing :angry: sometimes i wish ii was living in us....
 
im looking for stiff? reliability? and in general a good coilover!

ive heard that the bc are just a copy of the gab ?

because i was looking for some hks hypermax 2's again, but they are like gold dust i wanna know about coilovers with the same spec and quailty as them?
 
Ohlins, Intrax, Tein, they all have hi-spec suspension. But not sure if you can afford it :D

Well the kit is sold by GroundControl in the USA so if you went to a koni dealer i can understand why they said that. Just buy the parts separately :nice: Make sure to get the koni specific GC sleeves though ;)

i always thought bilstein are quite average?!

ive heard ohlins and zeal ?

im looking at buddyclub p1+ are these good ?
 
Tein is probally the most reputable and been around for a long time. They have lots of range to suit your application.

Even the famous drifting STI car that Ken Block drives uses TEIN.
 
no i didnt mean it like that i mean it like "if he owned them, give a review"
