hi all

whats a good brand of coilover suspension for my impreza

How much do you want to spend ? BC are popular and have three different versions to suit peoples budgets

BC and MEISTER R's are firm uk favourites however if your pockets are deep enough and you like a bone rattling ride ( which I do :P ) look at these, TEINS, HKS, CUSCO

James

ive got about 500-700 to spend

I was just looking to day at a tien coil over street pack an it was at £565 and drops it 25mm. Or scoobyworld do a stage 3 handling pack for £1500 which is coil overs, anti roll bars and bushes

£1500 for all that's is a damn bargain ! Is that fitted ?

You would probably want more than a 25mm drop and do those teins come with adjustable top mounts ? Extra cost of not :)

James

Yeah that's fitted but I have had a few things off them an buy the time comes to pay for it it goes up a bit for delivery an vat I but if your having it fitted u can cancel the delivery. I might go for it myself yet but if you bought it separately u might get it cheaper if you look hard enuff. And to the drop of it I think it was 25mm at bk and 35 at the front.

i found 4 sets but its now choosing the rite one for my car

I'm fussy seeing nice wheels an then crap springs an discs does my. Nut

Go for the Scoobyworld BC ones they are the best all round coilovers and you get the added bonus of top mount adjustment!

I agree with what robs saying but that's ok on a budget build but if you can wait and do it properly get the better bits over time :)

James

To be honest, have you just looked at standard shocks with a lowering spring on ?

All the people I know who have coil overs fitted don't even bother altering them once they have been set up

Yeah no whAt your saying had adjustable ones on my tomcat and never changed the height.

I'm buying HSD Monopro later this month, supposedly alot better than BC.

there's so many different brands out now its just finding the rite one

I had a set of KSPORT coilovers on my ignis sport and they were fanstastic! Got them for a bargain of a price with 8000km on from a guy in Austria :D

It's all down to the cost 90% of the time :D

James

I was just going to do the springs but I think I might just get a handling pack I've heard people say you can feel the diffrence straight away.

Are you planning on tracking the car ?

If not I'd just do the rear anti roll bar, droplinks all round and shocks, upping both bars can make it a bit unpleasant on the road

24mm rear bar on the road is too much in my opinion

Nah I'm not tracking it. Mate just want the lower stance look and a bit better handling. Still like to play up on dual carriageway s lol

I'd go 22mm rear bar, ally droplinks, then either lowering springs or coil overs the anti lift kit is worthwhile too.

Alot of folks vary on this and 99% of it is opinion, personally i think BC is cheap tat, i remember when they first came out and there was nothing but issues with em. No idea if they are better now but still see people complaining bout them nocking from time to time.

 

Tein super streets are pretty good for road use, dad had racelogic on his which were hard as nails and tbh ****, UK distributor went bust and dad had both rears **** all their fluid out and left hanging dry with no warranty cover when they went. Ended up having Teins fitted and he loves them, alot less harsh and crashy than the the racelogics and got a decent dealer network as well.

 

All things considered alot is down to spring rates on what ever you buy

I had a look at the tiens I think that's what I'm heading for. I'll get the coil overs too otherwise the wheels I just gna get destroyed on the inside.

i only was going for bc as a bloke had the set up i like the look off he had rote grid drift 18" 9.5j all round et think 38

I just like the look of lowerd cars look a lot better. I think it will do my car wonders coz I'm going for the stealth look

yeah same here low car big wheels :)

but thinks im going to buy bc's

Should be a good buy not heard many bad reviews about them.
