Got coilovers? Brand? Ride quality?
#51
I have the KW Coilovers on my C32 and have been very happy with the setup.
They were a bit less in cost compared to the Carlsson's and Bilstein's at the time.
Bottom line its really going to depend how much you want to put out out from your wallet and what you want the car to do

So if I want a ride as close to stock as possible, and performance better or equal to stock, what is the best option? and what is the cheapest option I can get away with? I'm lowering mainly for looks, performance is an added bonus, but I wanna sacrifice the ride quality as little as possible.
Would I be getting a better ride quality from the Tein SS vs the Tein Basic?
P.S. Next mod after coilovers will be 18s or 19s.
Thanks!

Along with Renntech I would put #2 instead of #1, it looks better with 19".
My current setup is spring pad #3 with H&R c/o.

The only issue with that is that you are stuck with a set height. It seems that he wants the ability to dial in his own ride height and dampening settings so as to create a ride quality and driveability that is close to stock but with significantly increased performance. For that, I would recommend our Bilstein PSS9s which are fully adjustable ride height and dampening coilovers.

Sure. I know a few members who live around here in town with C32 too. And we can go to Bandimere again in the spring, hopefully we have a lot more ppl this time.
Btw what color is yours.
