    99% of people who lower their car do it 1x and never mess with it again. Just get a quality spring/shock combo and be done with it. Personally, I went Fortune Auto 510 w/swift spring upgrade since I could (but don’t) daily the car and road race it. Fortune Auto customer service is the absolute best as well, which is as important as the product itself.

    Underrated coilovers that I run on super low with comfortably is Ksport Version RR coilovers. Similar to BC Racing DS series.
  • @user-ph3in7sw5y
    Thanks for the rundown. Looking to put wider wheels (Konig Heliogram 18x8.5 +42 from Fitment Industries of course) on my 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo hatch with an eye toward coilovers in the near future. How do I go about researching/determining fitment and clearance issues. It looks like with the new wheels I'll have maybe about half inch clearance on stock shock strut. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
  • @jurebievlad
    I have st x by kw on my a5 b8.5 and I would 100% recommend it.
  • @willbermudez2386
    Im glad you guys continue on the business 🔥 i have a question and i hope you guys can answer. What do you think of companies such as rev9 or truhart? Both are in the $500-$600 for my civic and both have damping and camber adjustability. Thank you!
  • @Gaming.Labs_GL
    Eibach Pro-kit with TEIN Endura Pro Plus. Pretty damn solid for me,
  • Have an idea of what you want before installing them I went from lowering springs to USED cheap Godspeed coilovers To BC racing DR coilovers I wanted the out of the box experience with the BCs thinking they knew what they were doing The BCs are WAY too low and WAY too stiff. Made the ride unbearable and the rear feels like it's on a stiff pogo stick I've narrowed it down to they just put way too much preload on out the box. The more weight I can pack in my trunk, the more comfortable the ride gets And yes, the Godspeed were actually good I loved them (the Godspeeds and BCs are on 2 different (but the same) mini coopers) I had adjusted the Godspeeds myself before install bc they were all out of wack. I literally had them on 0 preload (finger tight) and 3/16 damping
  • @prospect2664
    What would your suggestion be for coilovers: 2013 86, will also drive when it snows, roads can be quite bumpy in my town, planning on tracking it during the summer (like maybe once a month or so) and then do some winter drifting. It will mostly be used for either short trips (15km per day) or for 450+km trips every month and like 1k+km every month total. Will most likely set 1 ride height, that suits both summer and winter and idk if it matters, but planning on keeping it as a project car, soo... like 300-400hp+ in the future (few years into the future tho)
  • @patrickbaker93
    What would you recomend between kw v3 and ohlin road track. Car is a fun daily driver 750 whp g80 m3
  • @iwanta69rs
    i only run ohlins on my cars and bikes used to be all kw but cant beat ohlins
  • @nrdslayer6942
    Got me rev9 hyper street 2 and I mean yeah cheap but not much are sold for a 11 Corolla
  • @xrmerkur
    Most durable and affordable has my vote.
  • @CarbonLexus
    No mention of Godspeed or Megan’s or Feals
  • Can you do video modding beater cars? I have a 03 corolla and it looks like crap, can I make it look decent without making it ricey?
  • I’ve been stuck trying to decide between Silvera NeoMax vs BC DS for my 92 civic hatchback with a B series swap. The car is gutted and has 100% suspension upgrades as far as adjustability and has a 4 point roll cage. It has the entry level Tein street basis now but I want to upgrade it. The car will be tracked but honestly be more street driven. Any advice would be great.
  • I got a 97 bmw 7 series, don’t want to lower it or anything like that, just for a smooth drive, would you recommend bc racing Coilovers? Or are they more focused on track stuff?
  • @karstgeo7290
    Folks miss the value and performance of a cup kit...good set of sport dampers (Bilstein, Koni) and springs can handle it all including track. Folks are stuck that you need all this adjustability that most folks don't understand or need. The money saved can be used for more track time that will greatly improve your lap times vs. thinking suspension mods will do a thing. Coilovers are cool but aren't necessary at all to hit the track and be fast (road course). Most folks buy coilovers for no other reason to get rid of "all that finger gap bro".
  • @pradosalvador5
    I have a Toyota Highlander 2019, and I want to be able to lower it by an inch and lift it by an inch in winter. I'm trying to get tier 2; I'm not trying to go too low. I want to be able to drive as smoothly as possible. Which one would be best for me?
  • @Statimtek
    I’m guessing a Sunday Funday car that is enjoyed out on the twisties would sort of fall in the daily driver category,as it’s not for show or race, but it is more aggressive than driving to work or the grocery store. What would work best for a car that falls between daily and race/ show?
