Coilovers

There is so much information out here about all the different coilover systems that it can be overwhelming. What I am looking for is a coilover system that will lower the car (improve stance) while still improving handling at the track. I usually attend around 6-7 HPDE's per year (possibly more with better suspension). My local shop really like the MCS set up but I just can't bring myself to spend that much. This is my daily driver although I don't mind giving up some comfort for improved handling. What I don't want is noise. I also have adaptive suspension. For those that have taken the plunge, what are peoples recommendations? Thanks in advance.

- Lower car
- HPDE
- Daily Driver
- Willing to sacrifice a little comfort for performance
- No noise
- Retain Adaptive Suspension
- Cost less than MCS


Try the M-Performance Coilovers, KW HAS (new version), or the new KW DDC.

All of those will meet all the criteria you listed.

I recently took the plunge from adaptive suspension with H&R sport springs to Status Gruppe coilovers. Coded out the EDC. Very happy with them, actually a lot more comfortable, maybe not from stock but from the H&R's for sure. Great price and handles wonderfully. Lots of height adjustment and dampening levels. Everything is reversible but I plan on keeping my car.

Glad you like the SG coilovers. But honestly, anything, literally anything will be better than H&R springs.
