C32izm

I'm looking to get some coils for my c32. I've did some research and found out the the bilesteins and d2 coils are pretty good. I wanted to know what you guys think and your experiences if you had any with these coils, or whatever coils you guys go with. Just don't want no crappy set up.
I'm trying to go pretty low

I have Bilstein B14 coilovers on C55. Ride quality is about the same as C55 stock suspension, maybe even a little softer than stock. As you know C55 has ~30% stiffer suspension than C32 has.
I'm pretty happy with the bilsteins. Was thinking of buying H&R springs, but got these coilovers for a bargain price. Coilovers always better, because you can adjust height exactly as you want.



Also can go lower an inch or so

I was running the Tien setup on my 32. Besides being extremely stiff the car was on rails.

I have PSS9's on my C32 and I can feel every bump in the road. My wife doesn't like to ride in it for more that 30 minutes because she says it makes her "jiggle". But it also handles like a Spec Miata now, which I like. It looks better with the perfect drop as well.

PSS9's are full adjustable, so you're able to adjust them to more comfortable mode when you ride with your wife

We just take her W204 on road trips. I'm not going to be bothered tuning my suspension every time I pull the car out of my garage.

Sorry I haven't replied guys I've been caught up with work and school and stuff. I want something that's smooth and handles good. I'm not trying to pay an outrageous price.

Which tein setup were you running on

insame1

I was running the Basics. The main difference between that and the SS is the adjust-ability and the cost. You have much more control over the setup with the SS.

Cool I'll look into it. Appreciate it. I'm looking for a c32 front bumper and grille. Keep me in mind if you come across any. Thanks

insame1

I believe the c320 sport bumper is the same as the c32.

C32izm

Yea I think so too but there still hard to come across

Bilstein's are great coil overs. Another option could be H&R Street Performance Coil Overs. Each coil over shock is custom valved to work in conjunction with a precision-engineered progressive rate spring, creating a finely tuned suspension system. The fully threaded shock body allows for adjustable vehicle height. This feature helps balance vehicle weight, resulting in a lower center of gravity and improved performance and control. I also really enjoy KW suspension and am running that on my car (non MB). When it comes to sporty suspension systems for every use, KW Automotive GmbH is one of the leading providers world-wide today. They provide a good range from their V1's up to V3's (more of a track application coil). Can check out all that we offer as well here in our parts catalog. Good luck!

if you plan on Bilstein or H&R I suggest you trim down the bump stops since they don't give you much travel from the factory....here's a pic of mine
