    .
    Penske - Yum ...Low/high speed damping etc...

    The other I'd go for is Ohlins...The Ohlins I had on my bike were like 3K+ for one side alone..

    What makes the Fightex the best?

    (not having a go at you, just wondering what makes a set of coilovers the best..haha)

    Would the Fightex coilovers offer all the charactistics of coilvers with the added bonus of a comfortable ride (as good as stock)?

    If not, are there such a coilover that is?

    Just curious.

    I'd have to say though, my IDEAL set of coilovers would allow me to lower my car, improve handling over standard suspension, AND offer stock comfort (or as close to if possible), i.e. having the car drive over bumps and absorbing it all (like stick) round a corner and not skipping across the road (but then i guess that also depends on the spring rates)

    No coil over is going to give you a comfortable ride similar to stock. Coil overs are not designed to absorb bumps you find on normal roads they are designed to absorb load during cornering on surfaces that are smooth.

    The scale would work sorta like this

    Comfort_______________________X___________Handling Performance


    basically depending on your selection of spring rates and valving is where the coil over would appear on this scale.
    That being said bad coil overs will be bad coil overs.

    If you are looking for comfort I've heard that Tein SS are the ones to go for but people always complain that they are too soft for racing.

    I have found the buddy clubs to be quite stiff..

    they have a low amount of stroke too.. so that could influence people into a 'racy feel'

    As ctr coupe was saying that Tein SS are too soft for racing, however it will give u a good stiffness for everyday road holding. You dont sound like the type that is going on track anyways.
    Having said that, on Softest settings it kinda feels close to stock suspension anyway, just lowered!

    Just trying to find a way to lower the car slightly without compromising comfort and handling too much.

    but a 1 or 2 cm lower then it is atm shouldn't make that much of a difference should it?
    im running 14" and the wheel arches are just sitting 1 cm ontop

    i have a dc5r and am running the buddyclub racing spec dampeners , they are great , Very stiff, i would reccomend them to you if you are doin track work, not the best for everyday driving...
