Coilovers?

[david_todd85]

Hey Guys,

Was thinkin about putting some coilovers in my euro, wanting to lower it but keep the stock rims. Was wondering what the ride is like? Better or worse than stock in terms of comfort? And what brands would you recommend?

Cheers.

What model you got? CL9 or CU2?

[david_todd85]

Its a CL9 06 model.

With careful selection, you can have your comfort and well as a bit more sportiness.
I was going to buy Tanabe sustec pro S-OC's when I had my CL9. They are meant to be great on the streets.

I'd probably go Eibach pro kit (springs) and Bilsteins (dampers) now though. A few people here have this set up too!

From reading the forums and such, most people recommend BuddyClub N+ and Tein SS. Tsxclub also has alot of info on these topics.

Heard buddyclubs > TEIN SS in terms of comfort. There's one from ebay at the moment but wiht 350$ shipping. But since AUD is owning the USD, you can get a great deal right now for about 1250-1300$ I think the seller was kumura motoring.

no matter what, coilovers will be more stiff that stock...period.. N+ is fine tho for daily even on the stiffest setting.
