Anyone in the TO area running coilovers....

Hey, just wondering if anyone is running coilovers in the greater toronto area, and what brand are you running. I really want to upgrade the suspension and would love coilovers, but im worried it could be overkill on our streets, and for an occasional track day.

Let me know.
thanks

If you do mostly street driving and light track days, you might want to consider a spring/strut compbo. That way you won't have to worry about dialing in setting on coilovers and you will save some cash while at the same time improving your handling.

Having said that, if you really have your heart set on coilovers, any of the typical manufacturers (Tien for instance) have sets that arn't sprung too hard for the street.

yeah i know what you mean about coilovers. I think im just going to go on the safe side and get the MS setup. Its great bang for the buck, and because its less money I can get a wicked set of tires that grip much better too.

^ JIC's are great especially for the track. We're running them on our 911 project car. What spring rate did you go with for the 8?
