Coil Overs

[stolzie]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering how many of you guys are running coilovers and if so what sort are you running?

Any recommendations on brands? Also if you have some photo's please attach.

Thanks

i only have some eibach prokit.. some real good coilovers cost a bit too much for my taste (at least they do here :ß)

I'm using Ksport. They're a bit of a rough ride for normal driving but they're really good in the turns. I'm going to try and enter some auto crossing events this year which is where they should really shine. Some of the pics also show the adjustable endlinks.

Thanks for the information/pictures Aztec, how much did you pay for these animals? Did you buy them direct from K sport or through protege garage?

Cheers

I actually bought them used from a member on another forum. They cost me about $600 shipped in the states but they retail for almost $1300. Here's a link to a current Ksport sale. The shipping to Australia might be a bit much though. The sale ends today though.

there's a guy on www.themazdaforum.com (http://www.themazdaforum.com) (forcefed is his name) who can get them for $800USD. Shipping shouldn't be too terrible.

I wouldn't really recommend the k-sports honestly because of some drastically different strut valvings they have paired together in the past. Imagine if one strut was set on it's stiffest, and was softer than another strut set to it's softest. Yeah that can happen.

The AWR coilovers are AWESOME -- www.awrracing.com (http://www.awrracing.com) but are around $1800USD. Perhaps you can find a JIC importer where you live, they have two very nice coilover sets for the BJ.
