    Everyone always talking about coilovers and lowering their car and drifting, and here I am more concerned with trying to get a good balance between maximum ground clearance and minimizing body roll because I am far more into rallying. Stiff enough to corner like a dream, but soft enough to handle bumps and jumps like butter, but most importantly, durable enough to not bend or break going sideways at speed. Since everyone is always talking about that stance life, I feel lost out here on my own.

I want to adjust the coil over to be soft when going to a mountain trail and when I am coming back to a highway I'd like to make hard-er suspension. Also, I'd like to be lower in the summer (Clearance 7-8 inches), and for the winter I like to be higher (clearance 8.5 - 10) Any suggestions?

    I have experience with high quality coilovers and Ebay specials. I have a set of Megan Racing Street performance with adjustable dampening, height adjustment and preload adjust, with front camber plates. A buddy got Ebay specials and the spring was loose and they only worked ok if you slammed the car so the spring wasn't loose. $1000 compared to $200. Spend the money right. You, and your car, will thoroughly enjoy it.

    I put coilovers on my last two cars because they had basic blah suspension plus they were old units. Mad a huge difference. I just left the stock suspension in my brz because it’s already low and has great performance better than some of the aftermarket coilovers I bought. Just needs tire upgrade from those Primacy to get the most out of its cornering and maneuvering ability.

I honestly know nothing about properly dialing it in, and so many UA-cam videos are people just going max low and calling it good. I do know that theres a lot more to it than just that.

    Something to always know about coilovers... Depending on the setup. It's not a set it and forget it type of affair. You will be adjusting and fine tuning both your look and your ride up to a year later... And possibly even at the beginning of every season because the average temperature changes. Sometimes a lot depending on where you live.

    Great stuff. A lot of people I know and helped adjusted suspension for sometimes believe that the recommended manufacturers settings are set in stone, when its really.. just a recommendation.
    Also 16-64 clicks just means more stops. The damping changes on a 64 clicker is a bit too much I end up adjusting them 5-10 clicks at one go to get appreciable difference.
    Here's to everyone starting to tune suspension right and finally realise the oem suspension is an exercise in cheaping out manufacture

    If you just want some cheap coilovers to lower your ride and maybe stiffen things up a little bit but have no real aspirations of auto crossing or tracking the car just go for some racelands. I know its controversial to say but they are backed with a lifetime warranty and if they only last you a year before they blow out on you they'll send you a new set free of cost for the life of the car so really it's worth it. Lowers the ride while still being a step above OEM suspension. But if you plan on doing any real performance driving then you're probably gonna have to cough up the extra 500-1000 smackers for ones that let you fine tune the ride and is genuinely built for that kind of activity.

    I got installed a Meagen Racing coilover kit for Dodge Dart and they clank all the time. When I hit small bumps, turning out of a parking spot then goes away and comes back. My mechanic has lifted it and everything looks and feels tight. I dont know what the noise is and it drives me crazy.
