Suspension Advice(I've searched quite a bit)
Folks,
I'm kind of torn about which way to go for my suspension mods. I've done some autocross in the past, but frankly I'm not the best cone dodger in the world although I do plan to pick it back up once the car arrives. Basically I'd like to make the car stiffer and more neutral while still having a livable daily drive. I'm also in Ohio, so I'm a bit concerned about clearance in the winter. I know a coilover will let me adjust the height but I hear once the threads get gummed up they become hard to work with? I see two options: 1. Dinan Stage 2- I have a dealer that can install it and my understanding is I'm looking at about 1/2 an inch lower clearance but no adjustability. This setup probably won't be quite as good in the handling department but it's more set it and forget it. 2. KW V2- I can play with the suspension quite a bit to get it how I'd like it and it should be decent for autox and the occasional track day, but I'll need to find a shop to do the install and learn how to adjust the height or take it to a shop to have it done seasonally. Anybody else in my shoes? Am I missing anything I should be thinking about? Thanks for your input! |

kw v2 all the way
performs better than dinan and much more worth the price i would even go with kw v1 before dinan. this is already setup by kw, but at least you can adjust height as well |

Sounds like everybody loves the V1/V2 option. Do we have anybody using them in cold weather states? Are you guys raising/lowering seasonally or are you just setting it and forgetting it. I want the car to handle as good as possible, but I need it to be a daily driver too

harold from hp autowerks came to visit me yesterday. talked about what to do with the suspension and stuff, seems like more than just bolting on a coilover kit, recomended buying the m3 control arms and other things at the same time. should visit his site hpautowerks.com
