The Best coilovers on the market !!!

[DivineStrike]

Ok i've been considering getting these when I get the $, and I read what you said on normal street driving. But seeing as I haven't been on stock yet. I was wondering what the quality is like as opposed to driving on K-sports.

I think I'd want to go with 8 or 9 up front and 7 or 8 in the rear (once BSH gets their 27mm rsb up and going I'll be getting that). K-sports are somewhat tolerable, too soft in the rear though for autox...its a little bumpy, I think height is to blame there.

Also, you said you didn't like the weight. How much does the set weigh?

There anything else that might be a better option for me that has the camber adjustment for less $?

Unfortunately the wheels I want will cost more than these, I wish more stuff came in bronze and are lightweight in 17x8.5 (255's would be sick if they can fit :eyebulge

Any one interested in a set of those coilovers?

I am but i blew my last big check on new camera gear and a flat screen for my bedroom

ok I did a little bit of reading on offset and stuff... the wheels i was looking at are the Volk re30's 17x8.5 but it looks like they only come in 35mm offset, how bad is that going to stick out? should I just go with the 17x8's with a 40mm offset? I want to at least put 245's on them, 255's definitely with the 8.5. never really thought about 265's though

They're gonna cost $$$$ but i haven't been able to find a better alternative in that size(8.5), lightweight and Bronze. Sorry bout going off topic

 

[Dan GSR]

doesn't volk offer custom ?

35 is bad, 45mm is the sweet spot

i just put in an order for 18x8 with 45mm offset and 265/35-18... i'm not really sure what to expect so before I put down 2500+ on wheels and tires I just got one wheel/tire combo in that size of the cheapest I could find to test fit them

I hope I'm wrong, but 8" is going to be too narrow for 265 tires. Hell, I think 8.5" is pushing the limits.

 

[Dan GSR]

no your right
dunlop reccomends 9-10.5" wide rim for their 265/35 r18
i'll be putting it on a 8.5" i don't mind a little luv handle

 

[g60_corrado_91]

So what happens when you use it on a 8.5" wheel? Just more flex than there would be with a 9+" wheel, or the threat of popping the bead?

 

[Dan GSR]

ive seen BIG tires put on narrower rims without issue
your far more likely to break the bead by stretching

the only disadvantage is you won't have as much contact patch as you would with a wider rim

 

[g60_corrado_91]

Oh okay. You're getting the VB3's right?

 

[Dan GSR]

getting? i have the rims sitting right next to me

 

[g60_corrado_91]

Haha, very nice. I can't wait to see pics of them mounted.

 

[fisher22]

where can you find wider wheels (8.5+) and would you still use a 45 offset? I'm a little new to searching for wheels past tire rack and they don't have anything wider than 8"

u sell your coilovers? or you keeping em?
