Default Coilovers: Please tell us who has what

Maybe all you chaps who have fitted coilovers could list here who has what: I am curious to know how many of each type are in use:

I have Verus inverted coilovers bought through Whiteline UK

They are a bit of a pig to set up as there are so many ways to adjust the height, camber and so on but they are great on the road once set up, even on the bumpy back roads we have here on the island, unfortunately crashed the car before doing a track day on them but will do one as soon as the car is rebuilt

You dont need to have coilovers IMHO to have good suspension.
STD WRX springs & KYB AGX 2 clicks front and 4 clicks rear for me. I also have 22mm front A/R bar and 25mm rear and prodrive settings.
Fantasically complient and perfect for A/B roads.

No bouncing all over the road for me...................................

AST's here.

7/10 to be honest. I've not really played with the settings though.

Depends on the price and the spring rates.

Tein Super Race. Very adjustable. Seperate compression, rebound, preload, height, Camber and Castor. Massive overkill for the road, but great on the track. My springs are slightly softer than the ones that come as standard to make it drivable on the road, but you have to swerve around any sunken grids etc.

10\10 though as they really are the dogs.

Hi Martin

I need to sort out my geometry as I've trashed the outside edges of my Toyo's....... something is badly wrong with the geometry / tracking and I'm not sure about the Revolution / tarox 12 pots as they are pissing brake fluid onto the drive!!

I bought the eibach kit brand new from Revolution and It's never left the boxes.... how about we meet sometime at Revolution and they could fit the Eibach coilovers to your car and have a look at mine at the same time

Shaun
