BAD ASS
Rides better than the stock R and I'm sitting right above the tire. Only thing
Be careful if you have an aftermarket header. I've already hit mine and I raised the car up. Just don't go too low!
Question: What is the real thing? What makes one spring set more real than another? or one shock more real than another?
H&R threaded body coilover kit = threaded body Bilsteins and H&R Springs last I checked (this was ~3 years ago, may have changed) so how is that more "real" than a set of bilsteins and threaded sleeves with eibach race springs?
Tein.. there is a Tein model I wouldn't mind, but it's overkill for a street car. Lower end Tein parts are something I'd take out for the stock ITR suspension if I used it on circuit courses.
Just my opinions and experience of course. I am a bilstein whore I admit. But then, they work fine on our race cars so they are certainly good enough for a street car IMO. Let's not forgot the thread creators intention. This *IS* a street car. It does NOT need adj. stroke, remote res., et cetera.
Adjustable height is nice though, and that's why I suggest GC with Koni's or Bilsteins. You can't go wrong with the setup on a street car/HPDE car in my opinion. You can even get JDM front heavy rates if you want, GC will provide whatever rates you want without hassle and without delay (unless it's a rare occasion that they are out of stock of something).
