Explain the need for inverted c/o's on daily driven car's please? Just not necessary..
Steve, if it were up to me Tein SS-P would be my choice. I had the Tein SS coilovers on my car as Jay did as well and absolutely loved them. The SS-P gives you the pillowmount option which is an added plus. It's a little more costly than the BC's but I feel worth the extra.
There doesnt have to be a reason it was by choice that the person choose them... Ive drivin in the car with them all tuned in with a nice alignment the car handled and drove amazingly smooth... Its my :2cents: opinion nothing more.. In the end its ultimately his decision on which info he goes with or if he goes a whole seperate route altogether...:rolleyes:

umm.. right.. no one argued the fact of whether it was opinion or not.. I was asking what was the need of having inverted coilovers on a daily driven car.

but thanks anyway.
 
well i might be getting practically new bc inverted for 900 shipped..there is only 2k miles on them..if it doesnt fall through i'm just going to pick them up..haven't heard anything negative about this coilover..even though it may be overkill for what i'm using it for :dunno:
 
inverted coilovers arguably are useless on this car.the only purpose of the inverted is to handle the side loads on the strut in hard cornering.unless you seriously whip that car around you wont benefit because you wont notice the difference.the only person that i might actually believe if they told me the inverted made a difference is maybe howard because he takes his in the twisties.(no howard im not looking for an explanation)

i doubt one could really tell the difference, unless they were a full time racer (aka, lots of consistent SEAT TIME with test/tuning in between laps) .

lateral loads and the fact that unsprung weight/mass is towards the body of the car, rather than near the wheels.

(i couldn't give an explanation if i tried jay)... :emb:
 
I've had a couple different setups under my car...

1. Tien S-Tech w/ stock struts...A little on th harsh side, but not too bad if you are on relatively smooth roads

2. IPP non-adjustable...The ride was downright harsh, I would only recommend these if you really do not care about ride quality and just want to slam the car

3. K-Sport 36 way adjustable...they are stiff, but I was able to find the settings that I like. These allow you to lower your car a large amount. They have pillowball mounts front and rear, and camber plates in the front. I don't really like the way the locknut and spanner wrench setup though.

My $.02...
 
please expand, i would like to know what characteristics are a con.
thanks.
Megan Racing Coil-Over Dampers are the ultimate upgrade to your track or street car. Featuring 32 Levels of damper force adjustment, full-height adjustment, these damper kits are then perfectly matched with front and rear Pillow Ball upper mounts for camber correction in most applications.

The adjustment of the damper is as simple as can be with a built-in knob at the top of the damper mount for easy access. Simple adjustments can be made to tune to your style of driving and comfort level desired. Single-Adjustable dampers make suspension adjustments easy to tune whether you’re a professional mechanic or an automotive enthusiast with amateur mechanical skills.

The height adjustment is made easy with CNC-Machined locking perches for accuracy and smooth adjustment. You can raise your car up to factory height for OEM appearance with performance handling or you can drop your car all the way down for a formal racetrack and an aggressive stance lowering your center of gravity to gain full potential of your car’s handling capabilities.

On most applications, the Megan Racing Damper Kits come with fully adjustable Pillow-Ball upper mounts to easily tune and adjust your camber. Adjustable camber gives you an edge on most suspension setups, as you can easily tune your car for any ride height which improves handling, predictability and furthermore tire wear, which is a great benefit both on the racetrack and on the street.

ok. so you are able to cut and paste.
I have Megan racing c/o. They ride fine, have a lot of adjustment which could also be a con because it will be a tough harder to dial them in at the track. But best for the money IMO.
-no explanation yet as to why it's considered by this individual as a 'con'.
