    I love the fact you all included the fact you can rebuild the aftermarket shocks, so many people rush out and buy new things when this is a great option to get things back to like new. Another great video from Fitment Industries.

      Agree!
      Bought some old-school Tein Type-HA coilovers for my 4th gen Prelude that were revalved by someone who formerly occasionally tracked theirs. Since they were rebuild for both the street and track and as a Twin-Tube shock design, I'd say it's was the best of the both worlds for the most part. Will eventually move on to Monotube shocks though once I get more seat-time.

    A little tip, adding electronic adjustment would let you make full use of your damper adjustment and it doesn't have to be expensive, especially on cars where accessing the rear dampers to adjustment them means having to be under your car it can be a great investment, but not all coilovers fit electronic adjustment kits, so check if you could retrofit electronic damper adjustment if you think you might ever want that

Not the fastest but that 205 hp is a ton of fun and when set up properly, that crossfire is actually pretty reliable. Now I just need to lower it a little to get the fitment just right

    I used to be a springs only guy. But I recently started tracking and bought a set of BC Coilovers and actually started playing with dampening. So it is worth it. Pretty streetable too. I was on HR lowering springs and Bilstein shocks, good. But I needed to raise it a bit. MK7 GTI autobahn 6MT.

    Yes it helped. I Own a 2005 Goat. I would like a semi all purpose set up. But with the intention of moderate high horse power. I might have an idea now that I watched this video on which brands to go for. Not looking to slam it. But more or a aggressive stance and able to do everything from drift to street drag and looks all in one.

    I have bc racing golds in my miata, 8kg springs in the front and 6kg in the rear. And they ride really nice. Still only have about 1,000km on them though. It's a turbo street car that gets driven like a track car on the street. Its lowered enough to look aggressive but not drag on the ground everywhere.

Maybe if you found a really nice one it could work out. Obvious the Dodge Stealth isn't nearly as cool and doesn't look quite as good, but they are a lot more attainable.

    I don't want to lower my car, i just want to stiffen it up a bit, it is a 2001 Volvo S60 by the way.
    And yes i know there are cheaper alternatives (like "J-Spec"), but i want it to be a quality set, I'm going for OEM Plus.
    The Bilstine are Tüv approved which is nice, I live in Sweden so don't need them to meet Tüv standards, but i see it as a seal of qualitty.
    The BC Racing Coilovers aren't Tüv approved, but feature adjustable dampng, allong with other ways of adjusting them and potentially dailing in the car in the future, but I'm kind of worried that they won't let me keep my stock ride hight.

Exhaust, maybe some performance upgrades and a tune. Upgraded sway bars, links, bushings etc cause improving the feeling a little makes the car so much better. Racing seats with harnesses, quick detach steering wheel, maybe a roll cage..... Maybe some underglow. Short throw shifter, nice comfortable, piston shaped knob. If there's any overly bright colored interior just darken it up a bit. Maybe one of those starlight roof upholstery deals those kinda seem cool. Dress up kit for the engine bay. Coat the underbelly cause rust is bad. Possibly upgrade the speakers. Do one of those hose replacement kits for the engine bay..... I'm definitely forgetting something
