GT4WD Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi all, I am looking to purchase a coilover which is both height and damping adjustable for street driving and perhaps occasional track. Also, it should be as quiet as the stock suspension without introducing any foreign or additional noises. Any good recommendations? I have sat in a Tein Flex equipped Legacy. The ride is pretty harsh and it's noisy, so that is out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4WD Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 [quote name='B4_Maniac'][url="http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4456"]http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4456[/url][/QUOTE] Thanks for your link on the HKS Hipermax LS+ coilover. I actually have a friend who have that too. After 3 months, he is experiencing some noises from the front although it is suppose to be better than those with pillowmount. He have sent it back to the workshop who dismantle the entire coilover to clean it. But it doesn't help. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Have asked some workshops and one particularly recommended Cusco Zero-2 as they have not received any feedback or complains so far compared to the TEIN and HKS coilovers they have sold. But I must say those were for the REXes and not Legacies. An EVO 8MR friend of mine has also installed the Cusco Zero-2 and is very happy with it so far. A check on Cusco website reveals that they only have it for the BP5 (Wagon) and not BL5 (Sedan). Is it alright to use the coilover since they are identical? Probably different spring rate since the wagon is longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipsubie06 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 anybody have any thoughts on CXracing coilovers or BC racing coilovers??? smooth or harsh ride?...reliable?...reviews??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_Good Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Have the RCE Tarmac 1 with the 500# springs and camber plates and the ride is really cushy. I previously had Megan Racing coilovers too and the ride in the RCEs are way better despite having higher spring rates. I will go as far as saying the ride quality is as good if not better than my Bilstein RevA on STI pinks I had back in 06/07. I'm confident that if you got these with some softer springs like say 350# or 400# springs, the ride quality would be about what your aiming for. Give the Myles and the RCE guys a call and they'll hook you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm using a set of Endura-Tech's and I LOVE them. By far the best coilover I've driven for the money, and I've driven a BUNCH of different coilovers.

Saul_Good Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think the MRs also have stiffer spring rates over the tein basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul_Good Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 This is a "it depends" answer. It depends if you're tracking the car alot/a little, are you more into comfort, etc. To me (just for my application) yes, it would be better than the tein basic. Also because it has adjustable camber which is another plus. The basics reuse the stock tophats. If you're going to be looking at MR and teins, at least compare the MRs with the Tein Flex setup instead. The tein basic should be compared with a strut/spring combo imo. Hope that helps. soooo...ummm is that better than the teins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipsubie06 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yeah that does help. thanks guys. I think I'm gonna go for the MRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 for the money??? dude these things are like one of the most expensive ones ive seen. haha The GB right now puts them at $1475. For something as high quality as these, they are worth every penny of their MSRP and are a MUCH better value than anything even CLOSE to them in price, especially the discounted price.
