Which coilovers are right for me??

So I am in the process of trying to decided which coilovers I should purchase.

Cant decided whether to get :

--Stance GR+
--Ksport Kontrol Pro
--BC Racing BR
--B&G RS2

I have been wanting Stance GR+ for a while now but am second guessing myself.


I will mostly be using my car on the Autobahn, Drag Racing, and taking it to Nurburgring next spring. When Im in the states it will be used alot for Autocross and at the Drag strip.

So whats right for me?

pretty much everything in here is good advice! sounds like you are in it for the performance side more than anything. And KW and Pedders are some of the best performing!

I think I might end up spending the extra $300 for the KW2s. I was quoted $1300 for the Stance GR+'s but if the KW2s are alot better for only $300 more, I might as well go with them

hop on ottp they have the varient 2's for alot cheaper, and mind you, bc coilovers are fully rebuildable, thats what i went with, figure if i have a problem, spend a hundred bucks, and good as new! (and lets be realistic, is there a huge difference? I dont see anything that sets one appart from the other) and bc has the option to pick your spring rate
