I'm going to get some coilovers for my 04 coupe and I don't know which ones are good. I could get Function & Form coilovers for wholesale, but I just want to see what other coilovers are good. So can you guys list some?

 

I think the question to ask is what are you planning to do with the car?

Daily driver, some road course, track, TA, etc. What kind of adjustability would you need and the frequency of it?

There's a lot of factors to it and not one coilover is "BEST." Everything is relative and rather a personal decision such as cost and worth.

There's a ton of reviews out there for every brand of coilovers and what "good" is to you may not be for the other. Be specific and honest to what you are going to use your car for and then weigh the pros/cons of each recommendation.

I'm in the market myself as I just picked up and '06 6MT. Car is my daily driver while it will see seasonal track time as well. My decision will also be based on a well rounded setup for daily use that can also offer varying degrees of adjustability for track needs. HTH.

 

It's going to be kind of like my daily driver. What do you mean by the frequency?

 

Frequency in terms of adjustability. Some coilovers are designed to be easier to adjust while other are not.

For example, on the track with 100+ degrees and a hot car, you'll want a system that you can easily adjust with little effort. And best done with one set of hands instead of two.

Some systems require more time/effort either to raise/lower/adjust camber/dampening, etc.

Or if you are going for a certain look, make sure your system can go as low as you want. Look for systems with independent shock travel where you don't compromise ride quality for stance. And if things like warranty are important, be sure to go with a reputable brand that cost more up front but pays off in the long run.

 

Alright. Could you name some brands so i could search them up because I don't know of that many brands that make coilovers for g35's.

 

Bc racing coils aren't bad. they go pretty low.. the ride is decent for having them on full stiff and being low. Just depends what you're looking for..

Look here.. for brands/reviews

running with buddy club racing spec coils, love them

 

Dunno why you would take any of this guys review to heart; seems to be just a random guy, but he sure makes it sound fantastic!

I got these as well and lots of people here who have them will tell you they're wonderful

 

I don't have the TEAS (but am looking into it) and I run the Pro5s and am very happy with them.

 

Why not, he's just trying to help and offering his opinion like the rest of the members? Opinion seems logical and aren't we all just random guys....

Yup. I was just sayin' that his "review" isn't technically a professional one, from what I understand, so take it as an opinion. There's kind of a difference when you hear things from someone writing a review (typically professionals will have had a lot of experience with lots of different products so they can rate it based on what else is available?) compared to getting opinions from people like myself, who might just say "I love my Tanabe ProFIVEs so far!" Sorry if my last post came off sounding dumb.

 

So you didn't search, you haven't even looked into coils (because you know no brands) and you want us to tell you what to buy?

There's a thread for this
