I've been on the K-Sport Pro's for awhile now. I like them, can get the car pretty low and it's really stiff which is good for the type of driving and racing i do.

there is no coilover that you can adjust without taking the wheels off and suspension apart on these cars. and trust me, changing height gets real old, real fast. set it and forget it. i recommend stance gr+. ting ting has an almost brand new set for sale with less than 100 miles on them

Yeah I don't think there is a coilover system that you can adjust by not removing anything. You have to remove the wheels and lower them or raise them by hand, unless maybe you get an air ride system but I'm not to sure on that. You most likly want some good lowering springs.

If you don't want to remove wheels for adjustments in height coilovers aren't for you stay with springs. Hsd or stance in my opinion for the money and they are soso. Kw variant 2 are the best out right now but most expensive.

best coilovers for the money are stance or hsd period.....pedders are made by the same company who does bc. junk. pedders springs on the lnf or koni struts are the best out but they dont give the nice drop.

you want drop pony up buy ting tings stance coilovers and be happy. they suck ***** for track use(road coarse not drag) but provide a large variety of ride heights and are good on the street.


Quick Reply: im stuck on what coilover system to get.
