Default what coilovers is everyone running?

i've been thinking of upgrading to coilovers for a while now.
i just rode in a friends car with ohlins road and track, and it actually didn't feel that bad going over most of the bumps around my area.
this got me curious as to what everyone is running down here on our crappy hawaii roads,
and what their opinion of them is.
also for those of you who autoX what are you guys running?


thanks,
vance

Tein flex. Spring rates are 10kg and 12kg. Ride is allright. Nice and stiff. But a little stiffer than I wanted. Can always adjust the dampening. Mine is at almost full soft. Had it almost full hard. And the ride was crazy stiff.

Ohlins are pretty stiff..!

My recommendation is zeal coilovers. Ride is almost like stock on the softest setting

I would get them over any other coilover

i had the BC's. loved the rates and damping rates. they were solid and quiet with the stock tophats/rubber

still have tein basics on the ap1. they're comfy and quiet.
also have flex's on the ap2. rates are ok, but they make noise. i hate that

KWv3. Have 2 auto-x events on them so far and I like them a lot. To me, the ride is similar to stock. My friend who rode in a s2000 with PSS9s said the KWs felt more comfortable. The spring rates on my KWs are about 10k front and rear.
