Whats a good coilover?

supercharged89dude · 01-05-2007, 07:21 PM

Ok, i havent been on here in a long while. I just finished installing the suspension stuff i ordered. I have the car lower 1.3" and did F&R swaybars, front strut tower brace. I wanna do a really good set of coilovers all around. I plan on racing the car but it will be a daily driver. My T/A is set up for 1/4 mile track so i love the race feeling. Whats a good brand or if you can be exact what is the best for the money? I have 89 SC car.

I personally am probably gonna put in D2's (from the above link), but a very popular setup around here seems to be ground control coilovers and koni yellows.

From what I've seen pretty much everyone that races a Mk I uses the GC kit and koni yellows. Of course they like having the ability to change the spring rate if they want too.

For something that is going to be your daily driver I highly recommend Koni yellows/sport. Their valving is awesome, killer on both street and track.
