Coilover Feedback

FeckinSpaceman · 08-01-2014, 11:13 AM

So I have verified I don't have EDC on the car so have decided to go with coilover setup versus springs. I would like to keep the budget around $1k.....so within this budget I am looking at a few options.

BC Racing

K Sport

D2 Racing RS

Any experience, thoughts, or suggestions on these? Or recommendations for others in the price range?

Thanks

pretty much everything you listed is made from the same place in taiwan. With that said I would go for BC Racing, I had it on my isf and had no problems with it for 40k miles

I have been running my Meagan Coils for 7 months 5,000 miles or so. No complaints, ride great and easily adjustable.

Had Megans on my IS350, same experience. great coils for the money IMO.

Good thought, thanks for the feedback

Why doesn't Koni or H&R make coilovers for the F10?

Do you have Adaptive Drive, however?

EDC is part of the Adaptive Drive, so no AD without EDC.

That's interesting you said that. How is it then that KW has coilover kits specifically for F10's with EDC but no Adaptive Drive? I'm confused.

The KW coilover kit for cars with EDC would essentially prevent error codes from the EDC system from coming up.

I guess my answer was a bit confusing since I forgot to say that you can get EDC without AD, but not vice versa.

Can all the coilovers listed be set to stock height during winters here?
