General Question - coilovers

What are your goals for coilovers?

#

Used or new, my experience with BCs is…. In a few years your chiropractor will appreciate your business

So what you probably want to do is look up the spring rate for all the coilovers available for your car, and the ones you want are the ones with the lowest rate. Most coil overs are way too stiffly sprung. That said, even for nearly 50% savings, used coilovers are a bit of a risk. But if they aren’t showing any signs of leakage, you’re probably ok.

I did a little research and i guess for daily driving these are “one of the most recommended”

I’d like to add to this, in terms of ride quality with springs you can get a super comfy ride if you pair it with the right struts. While it can also be expensive, for example I’m 2k deep into sprints instead some brand new $1200 bc coils. I do see that you want to be able to raise it back up for winter so I’d advise really digging through the specs to see if the minimum height is high enough for your use case
