Okay I'm thinking of going over to coilovers on my wrx, I have a few track days i Want to do, but as I use my car a daily I want to know of any advice on makes to go for, as mostly it will be for fast road use, so needs to take the brunt of crappy roads etc.
I dont want to spend loads but I want a decent set and not cheap rubbish that will break..

Thats what im looking at doing found some AP coilovers for £500 or tein basic coilovers for £650 maybe we can get a group buy going so we can get a better deal

Tidgy

do you need coilovers?

decent set of adjustable's adn lowering springs will be great

scoobyandscrappy

No i dont need coilovers just thought that would be best

Tidgy

not realy, you will end up setting them in to one setting and never changing them. best bet is adjustable kyb and eibach springs. that was my choice anyway, great setup, no need to realing them each time you change the setting on it so dead easy

What year is your WRX?

BC's everyday, had them on my 2003sti since the KYB rubbish failed for the 3rd time.
After 2 years I'm still a happy bunny
Call Apex and they will arrive next day.

If you're old and feel the bumps, go for the BC's which have soft spring rates for the british roads. People always moan about jap stuff, but it depends on how hardcore you are.

Tein Flex, simple to adjust, couple of clicks extra for track use and there is a major difference, not cheap but i saw a set on here for sale recently. The roads around me are some of the worse i have ever come accross but the tein handle it no problem

Hey Arnie, you're back Could have done with you around a month or so ago

If your intended use is mainly fast road, then fixed perch damper & struts would be hard to beat

Tidgy

standard ones are ****, uprated ones rock. KYB AGX are the ones to go for

I went for a set of BC coil overs when there was a group buy on here, good quality for the money....been very impressed with them!

also worth looking at meisterR's .... specs and price similar to the BC's but damping range and spring rates are great for uk roads and track time. And in my opinion theyre of much better build quality.

Around £1000-£2000 if you find them new,but usually you can try luck on eBay where can be picked up for good money,if its worth not sure..

MeisterR's are manufactured in same factory like BC,Apexi,K-Sport or others..

Rather i would go with BC,they're more proven here...

In USA are mostly used Tokico with Swift springs which seems are good for money or contact Turn In Concept
