Default Coil Over Recommendations

Hey folks, hope you're all doing well.

I'm now considering coil overs, my RSR springs have settled real good now and I'm having issues with dips and bumps on the roads.

So, I have browsed many threads and can't really conclude what the general recommended setup is. Would love to know what the consensus is please.

My budget is between 1k and 2k.

Would love to get your experience share on which setup I should go for.

Thank You in advance.

That budget isn't going to get you much. Good suspension costs real money. Given where you live and the speeds you are able to drive, you'd be way ahead to get the Ohlins street setup from FIGS. That's my plan for the wife's car for sure.

Does anybody know if coilovers for the RC-F and GS-F are interchangeable ? Do they make BC coilovers specifically spec'd for the GSF?

FIGS has BCs for the GS F.

Id go with KW V3s - Ive had those on ALL my previous cars and they never let me down , smooth ride , good build quality . Ive tried BC and Tein and what not on my other cars and always ended back up with KWs . Not to many here have gone that route my guess is due to KW caters to the European car market , but you wont be disappointed in those , may be a little above your budget , they make then for the RCF but they will fit the GSF as well.

If you're still looking, you can check out RR Racing Road and Track V2 coilovers. These fall right in your budget and we put them on GSF's all the time. We also do a spring consultation with you to ensure the best possible rate for you and what you're doing.

I would go with RR racing given they were specifically developed for these car and drives these cars everyday.. Suspension development takes time and just because it fits it does not mean it's dialed in for the car. Olins IMO is one of the best if not the best brands out there, I went with Olins for my bike but I am not sure how much development they did for these cars besides making sure it fits. Suspension development and dial in takes a lot of time. Go with the folks who put the time in.

Once I need to redo my suspension RR seems to be a good option. Also they develop for our platform.
Hope Justin and his crew keep making them when I need them.
