COILS!!!

So I'm kinda thinking that springs isn't going to get me as low as I want to go. I just want to get rid of the tire gap. But I don't want to loose any handling. My car is p31. What coils you guys think I should get. I'm just waiting to make the purchase.

Thanks gents!

Arsha,

Before DDC V3 is released, you gave me an estimate. Do you have a firm quote now shipped to 91748? Please pm me.

If I can't find a good deal on kw's, I'm going to go with BC Coilovers. They worked great on my ISF

H&Rs are good, but it seems like most people prefer KWs. Depends on price I guess.

Scottie I just got MSC 1 coilovers for mine will install them this weekend. They did a drastic change on the GT3 so I'm hoping it will turn out to be good on the C63. They are by fortune auto.

If you just want a simple drop with a good ride as a daily drive = H&R springs. Only downside, more -ve camber on the rears, which means the wear on the inside rears increases. If that isn't a problem for you as a daily drive like me, i'd go for it. Else you can opt for the coilovers from H&R or KW. Personal preference really.

The only thing I'm concerned about is not getting a low enough drop from the springs or else I would do it

H&R springs is pretty low in the rear, but the front could drop abit more.

The KW V3 seem to be rather popular in the forum however as other members have mentioned, it is a wee bit expensive as it would be the best optimised for our cars.. next down the line would be the H&R's however in terms of durability there seem to be some faults with some sets as some members have experienced "clunky" sounds/noise when driving at very low speed. Do a quick search in the forum. Hope this helps..

Scottie good meeting you last week. If I were you I would go with the KW's and Mikes straight power pipe. The hr springs are great but the coils will really give you options for track use.

Great meeting you too man! We should have another meet. Really liked your car too btw! I'm probably going to end up doing the coils. I'm just not sure about to power pipe. Since this is the only car I drive I don't want it to be too loud. But I'm still giving it thought. I'm just trying to see where I can get a good price now for the kw v3's.
