hawk sti coilovers
i guess this has been done to death but im still gonna ask.....
which are the best coilovers for a hawk sti fast road car below £1k, car is on 18" xxr with 225/40/18 bc tein meister r anything else? dont really wanna spend more than £1k to be honest as i would like to buy some whiteline gear aswell |
just from my experience ,, BC are good value but all my sets have corroded very quickly and don't seem to last the text of time very well ,, iv had better results with tein as they didnt corrode like the bc ones did and still looked like New Years after buying them

yeah thats the general feeling im getting towards bc, teins are only slightly more expensive so will consider them. do the teins offer the pillow-ball top mounts for camber adjustment?
|
|
one thing I forgot to say ,, the hawk has headlight adjusters so this can cause a problem when lowering , you need to work out a way of keeping the adjuster in the same place when lowered
|
and how would i do that?

Surely that when the car is lowered it's just like having 4 people in it so the headlights would auto adjust then? My car at the moment is very low and I have no problems or warning lights

so i think i will try the teins and see how i get on and if needed i can add the edfc in the future

The headlight adjusters never caused me a problem when I lowered my hawkeye. It generally gets lowered front & back so it sorts itself out. Didn't even need to adjust my headlights, was fine for every MOT after that too.

What sort of spring rate would be ideal for a fast road car? Running 225/40/18
|
for a road car i wouldnt bother with coilovers at all tbh
|
any ideas on spring rates for a fast road car?
|
ive got pedders on mine and they are 209.9F 213.6R, but its the ezifit setup
|
You can't compare spring rates between struts and coilovers, they are very different.
But if we're talking coilovers then BCs and MeisterR are both 6kg front & 5kg rear. Pedders coilovers are harder at 8kg on the front & 6kg on the rear. |

I could be wrong, but I think the HSD coilovers are also 8kg and 6kg as per the pedders units.
IMO, that's ok for a track car, but too much for a road car. But everyone likes their cars differently and I'm sure some will prefer this. |

am i missing something here?
the main ad says for gdb impreza with 5x114.3 but in the description it says 5x100............... https://www.hsdcoilovers.com/subaru-...4-3-57887.html |
wrx is 5x100
read the actual line of what your buying, looks like they just copied and pasted the description from the wrx version and forgot to edit it |
