best daily driver coilovers

**neon_ert3** · 01-29-2010, 10:45 AM

I want to lower my db8. i want coilovers so i can raise and lower them as i please but i dont know which ones would be comfortable enough for daily use and riding my baby around. the car is never gonna see the track. what coils do i get???

If it's a DD why even modify it?

**5spdfrk** · 01-29-2010, 11:39 AM

Also, everytime you raise or lower the car you are affecting your alignment. Set it and forget it!

**neon_ert3** · 01-29-2010, 05:47 PM

my mind is set, i want coils. if u cant help with the coilovers then please dont add ur input.

they ride really good! a tad bit stiff but not anything to crazy. i love them. best bang for buck. got them on my sol and trying to save up and put them on my ek! kteller usually has them for a good deal jhpusa kinda overpriced theirs. 600- 650 is where you wanna get them at.

i have GCs with tokico illuminas on my db8 and the ride is pretty good (to me at least). I ride around pretty low and have been doing so with my son since he was a baby. when you order the GCs you can get them matched to a few of the popular struts out there (I got my spring rates matched to the illuminas).

**i4_garage** · 02-01-2010, 10:06 AM

GC koni yellow is what i got. Very smooth even when im dumped

**neon_ert3** · 02-01-2010, 10:13 AM

whats the spring rates on the GCs u guys have?

**Papa_Smurf** · 02-02-2010, 07:40 AM

I had GC's standard spring rate on tokico blues on my old EF and it was a very comfortable ride.

How much did you spend??

**neon_ert3** · 02-02-2010, 11:57 AM

559shipped. they were having a sell that was supposed to end in january but xtended it thru feb because of all the attention there getting. the coilovers are already a lil over 1in shorter then stock shocks so with them all the way up ur still lowered and get full suspension travel n all that good stuff. the spring rates i got were 350front n 250rear.

**HatchHero** · 02-02-2010, 01:00 PM

hmm i might try those. thats a good price. can you only get them on honda tech for that price?

heres the link to the progress coilovers. they have a special code u have to enter in on the website to get the "special HT" price with free shipping. when u go to check out theres gonna be a 15dollar shipping fee but there gonna take it off before they charge your card or bank account. they have 3 different options to choose from regarding spring rates n what u need the coils for or you can have custom spring rates.

ps yeah that price is only on HT, on there website there 580 i think + shipping
