KW V2s or Stance?

I'm looking for a nice 1/4 mile track coilover which would you choose? Idc about pricing or how low they get (they're coilovers.. they go low) I just wanna know which is better or which has been tested more on a 1/4 mile track.

Well, 1/4 mile is more of science on setup of the car (power band), tractionb and the driver. The KW V2 are nice coils and work VERY well, but would shine on the track too. They are stiffer than stock, which helps reduce wheel hop and keep traction up.

I wouldn't waste money on bc coilovers...... you need a good set of drag bags for the back for quarter mile and a nice stiff strut to reduce the weight transfer to the rear. If you road coarse this car at all spend the money and get kw variant 2....if not get stances and when you go to the strip swap out the springs and collars for drag bags and make them nice and stiff

Until you spend huge money for ohlins anze. Or koni racing stuff the variant 2 is the best for the money.....there's no such thing as good coilovers under 1500
