Coilover suggestions
 

Ok so I have read multiple threads trying to find the best coilover for me. Looking to purchase some in the next month or two. And to be honest, seems like different coilovers go better with different driving styles. So it would be great to hear some suggestions for my style! My 8 is my daily driver, really looking to make it the best car I can. I live on a mountain, and am always testing out the handling of my car and would love to stiffen it up some and get more performance while also lowering it a little. I will probably track is maybe 1 to 2 times a year. (hopefully) But really wanting the best possible suspension performance wise. My price range is 1,500. Right now i'm leaning towards stances. HELP! :wavey:

jic magic. there is a set for sale on the club.

Saw that, but the guy doesn't even know how many miles or on them on anything. Sounds kinda iffy if you ask men

they look really good/newer than older. :dunno:
jic's are rebuildable and reputable.

Haha I agree they DO look newer, but looks can be deceiving! I think the price the guy is wanting is great also. Ill wait to see what other people suggest on here before I buy them.

I have an old set I got for cheap and ran them until one broke (pothole in Detroit).
Just waiting to get them back. I love them. Adjustable and solid.

I'm sure you have already, but check out the Powertrix coilovers GB that will soon be opening.

It sounds like Stance coilovers may be up your alley, so the Powertrix would be a perfect fit for you all things considered.

As far as retail, many coilovers sit just above the price range. Were you looking to purchase new or used?

@ 1500 you will not be able to get best of the best. Far from it.

At that price point, Stance might not be a bad choice but they're a bit on the hard side so you might get more bouncy ride.

Chad, how much is it costing to fix yours? Or did you have to totally buy a new one? And NYC I KNOW I'm farrrrrr from purchasing the best coilovers. I want the best I have to offer within my price range. Do you think the jic magics this guy is selling is worth it? I know their normally 2k+ brand new. But I mean I think I'd rather purchase new then used. I would hope whatever I bought had somewhat of a warranty, and I know you most likely won't have that used.

150 to fix one. I sent all of mine away though to get "reset" so they all are truly running the same pressure.
JIC Magic coilovers are no joke, but if you don't want to buy used, well....

I'll be purchasing the powertrix coilovers if a group buy opens up. $1200 will get you their ultra-lite coilovers. You'll save some money and be on your way to a new set of wheels/tires.

You can get a new set of stance GR+ at thmotorsports.com for around $1350 I believe. That's the cheapest I've seen those.

I want coilovers too that will really slam my cars. If i have the money for it, i will be getting it anytime soon. Not sure what coilovers though...

Just pulled off my Cusco Sport Zero-1 coilovers , only used 1 month .... too stiff for my taste.

I haven't posted them for sale yet , I'll sell them for what I paid $950
I just bought these from Cam @ Pettit Racing

Just got a pair of jic magics in 2 days ago! Thanks man. Glws
