Ok so im on the market for the lowest coilovers out there. I have seen pictures Of BC but they dont seem to go that low in the rear. I want something that will tuck my tires. price isnt really a problem but i dont want Airbags. i like to track my car so adding the weight isnt going to help.

yea i want to pick them up after christmas. Even though the car has 10k liles i want to see if i can change out any of the bushings to. im sort of a handling freak. In my vw i set it up so that i can go around a traffic circile at 100. the highest my friends cars go to was 80 \-90

just seemed like a dumb question if he is concerned with his track performance

ok so i have the money to buy the coilovers just need to pick some out.
I saw pictures of K-sports and they seem to be nice plus they have camber on the top.
The K-sports seem to be ricey, i mean i never heard of them and they seem to be popular on ebay and i hate ebay. Its nice that they are 36-way adjustable but i dont know how the strut will hold up. $990 + shipping
i also looked at the kw v1 and they to seem to have a nice drop as well. i know that it is a great company and i had them on my VW. the down side is that they arent adjustable. i know that they will hold up where i live so the only thing holding me back is the damping. i can always go with v2 but there is a 400 dollar difference. 1090 + shipping
i would like to see some pictures of the H&R and that would make up my mind. i have always wanted H&Rs they have been one of my dream coilovers cause on VW they are amazing. it seems that they are new here and no one has them. Should i be the test dummy on them? i really dont mind but i just dont want to have a coilover for the track i want to ride low when im home. 1290 + shipping
