ST coil overs
Anybody have any experience or knowledge about ST Coilovers?
http://www.gtbperformance.com/st-sus...4-e85-e86.html They are made by KW and have a 5 year warranty. Was going to go with H&R but have heard they are really stiff. This would be for a non-M coupe. |

They're pretty popular, basically KW v1's w/o the rust protection or that's what interwebz say. Unless you really need the height adjustability, I think you're better off going with a good spring/shock combo.

I'm just worried the spring/shock combo will leave it sagging in the rear. The coilovers allow complete control of ride height. At about $1000, they are pretty cheap. H&Rs are about $1400.

I've had a set on my car for just over a year. The ride is good. Well controlled and on the firm side, but not any more than the Sport suspension that was on my car OEM. No issues with sagging as of yet, and yes, they are adjustable ride height.

Thanks for the info. There are so many coilover options now (Megan racing, BC, Voigtland, etc.) all for basically the same price. And since these are made by KW I feel a bit better about their quality. The car is used for mostly street with only occasional auto-x/track use.
