Hey all,
I am looking at purchasing some coilovers for my 05 track edition. I am an avid autocrosser and track goer, but i'm having a little trouble deciding which system is best for me. I love the EDFC that Tein has, but i think i am looking for a bit more of an agressive system than the Flex's would give me. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis

Im getting JIC's Friday....Ive heard nothing but good things about em!

 

^^ except that their life span is ****.

best bang for your buck IMO, Silk Road's, Stance's, HKS's, or TEIN's....

 

what do you mean "aggressive"?

Define your goals and your budget and your uses, or else all you're going to get is a giant list of available coilovers, with little specific info

By avid auto-x and track, what is the rest of your setup? R compounds? What type of track days are you doing and how often?

 

i go to every auto-x event in st. louis durring the summer, this summer i was visiting my g-ma for 2 months because she suffered a stroke, so my seat time was cut down. my plans for the car are:
built engine and twins (dont want to get into the list, but theres a lot more in there, thats just the main goal)

The car will be used as mainly a road course/autox car, but will occasionaly be brought out to the track to do a bit of drag. I will have a daily, so a rough ride is fine, its never bothered me anyway. I have recently been looking at the Tanabe Seven's.

 

a rough ride and superior handling are not mutually exclusive

I run the HKS RS on my own car ...cannot say enough good things about them

 

Ive had the JIC on my car, swapped them out for the Stance. JIC was good, Stance was better, and now I am selling the Stance and looking into something new.

I haven't heard many good things about the Tanabes from a few well known road racing friends.

 

By short life span were you saying the JIC's...?
