Default What is the best street friendly comfortable coilover

I use to have twin flex coil overs for many years in my s2000. I ended up puting the stock suspension back on and have been on the stock suspension for many years. The tein flex were to hard to daily. I also had faster autocross time on the stock suspension compared to the tein flex.

I'm looking for a good coilover system that will ride like stock. I don't really want to lower my car more tha 1/2 an inch. I autocross for fun every few months. I may do a track day once a year. The most important thing is the coilover system must be very comfortable on the street.

What is the best coilover for me?

Bilstein PSS9. I believe H&R uses same Bilstein dampers also.

If you went with a GC/Koni Yellow setup you can select your spring rates, then adjust the car to the exact ride height you want.

I would say any decent coilover with Swift Springs to get the most comfortable ride. They are the softest springs at their respective spring rate.

Basically a Standard Coilover spring from, I.E: BC Racing/Fortune Auto/HKS/Bilstein/etc. will all ride more harsh than upgrading to Swift Springs at the same spring rate.

Let me know if you have any more questions I can help you out.
