BC coilovers or T1R B-max

[bestjazz101]

guys just need your opinions.. currently im running on 17inch rimz low profile tires with king springs in the front and stock springs at the back.. ride comfort is average..

do you guys think that coilovers will make my ride comfort alot smoother and stable.. if so i have 2 options BC coilovers or T1R let me know which is better for comfort...mainly looking for comfort its for everyday driving

My suggestion is go for Tein because they are more comfortable than BC

u'll have to sacrifice ur ride comfort when u want to go coilovers, i would go BC cas i ahve BC and am a bit bias:P unless u go tein superstreet

i heard teins r wayy to soft, i might get some shocks made up for my king springs, or change the tire size back to 15inch, but most the non stock 15inch rims are wider in width and the tire wall is shorter so im thinking will it make a bigg diff to comfort?

off the topic..but if i replace my stock oil filter with a mugen oil filter does that make any sort of difference to performance or anything?

currently got 205/45/16 on bc (not buddy club) coilovers. I find this a great setup for daily driving and the ocassional spirited run. I run F15/32 R 10/32 which is about half the stiffness. A few people have said is a still setup however it is bearable enough for day to day over smooth roads. I hate the crappy side streets when on this setup, as i tend to get a fully body massage.

rolling on 175/65/14 with same suspension stiffness settings, it feels like different car. its so soft and sponguy you can't feel bumps. But being softer ride, its harder to push it when driving hard.

so bottom line, if you want coilovers to improve ride, maybe look at rim/tyre choice first.

correct me if im wrong, but last i heard mugen oil filters don't improve HP or power. Just improves flow of oil, meaning less backpressure within filter. I don't see how that creates more power for a daily car. Maybe for a track car, but otherwise no.

i run cusco zero 2's as my daily coilovers, feels awesome on the softest setting, and hard on the stiffest. My suggetion is get some coilovers that suit your needs, like K sport, Tein is ok, good quality and rebuildable. As for T1R, if you're meaning TOYO T1R, they're an awesome tyre, competing with potenza re001, they're fairly similar in performance.

EDIT: My bad just read the B Max part, get something that well known, reliable and of good build quality

Hey on ebay there are G4 ajustable coilovers for 800$ does anyone know if these are good?

if comfort is your main priority, i wont recommend going coilovers.

ksports can be quite harsh for daily, i'd imagine G4 being quite the same.
