Rate your suspension setup

[Deadleave]

There are so many options, and so many opinions. Its hard to measure subjective feel, without actually riding in a particular set up.

 

So lets use stock setup as control, and base your rating on that.

 

Stock:

Handling: 3 Comfort: 8 NVH: 9

 

 

ISC Coils

Handling: 7 Comfort: 2 NVH: 4

 

I am looking for a setup in the range of

Handling: 6+ Comfort: 7+ NVH: 6+

 

List your setup, and your rating....

I had a set of Enduratech's on my car.

 

Handling: 8

Comfort: 8

NVH: 7

 

They were super comfortable, handled great. The springs were a little harsh for my wife though. NVH was low, only because you can hear the struts "wooshing". I actually kind of miss it, now that they are gone.

Bc coils

 

based on your control values, I would say

 

handling: 6.5

comfort: 6

nvh: 6

 

I think a KW or RCE set up with softer spring will give you what you are looking: an improvement in handling with little to no decrease in ride.

OEM inverted strut Bilsteins:

Thanks guys, even though its a bit subjective, it gives me a ball park of where certain setup relate to others. Maybe if we get enough data points, it might be helpful for others in the long term.

stock Bilsteins with Rallitek springs and perrin rear 22mm sway, running 225/40/18 eagle gt tires on stock wheels:

 

handling: 8

comfort: 7

nvh: 8

[wpmarky]

Bilsteins w/ oem springs: 4, 9, 9

Bilsteins w/ rallitek springs: 6, 7, 7

Bilsteins w/ RSR springs: 6, 6, 7

Bilsteins w/ pink springs: 7, 7, 7

BC BR Coilovers: 8, 6, 6

 

I've gone through a number of different sway bars, tires, and bushings, but these numbers are just compared to each other. Taking into consideration all the other parts, the numbers would be more spread out.
