i have a 2008 isf with stock suspension with almost 100k miles on it that i am looking to upgrade its suspension, i daily drive my car all year long including during winter times so keeping at stock heigh its a most.

my main goals are to get a set of coilovers that would make the ride quality better (more comfortable) but still be able to keep the sportiness of the isf, i will not be tracking the car anytime soon. with so many options out there is hard to make a decision so i hope to get some input from you guys.

i am looking at 3 options which are as follow kw v3, figs ohlins and rr racing penske, so far i have been only to find a great review from iredsf on the figs ohlin's but not on penske's or kw v3's

 

If your goal isn't to track the car much and you want stock height, Penske, Ohlins would be way overkill. I suggest looking into Bilstein B6 (HD). You'd reuse your stock springs, top hat, and maintain the same ride height. The benefit is that you get a quality strut that is atleast equal to if not better than OEM quality (which you can rebuild and revalve in the future too). You also don't have to mess with adjusting and etc. if you're not seriously into tracking. I think a full set is less than $700. depending on the vendor.

 

thanks for the input, i think i am either gonna go that route with the bilstein or spend a little more and get bc racing coilovers

 

Check out HKS Hipermax IV GT's too. I think they ride great.

 

I've been thinking about those ones as well but i don't know lol
