Ok, so I'm in the market for coilovers (preferably with adjustable dampers) for my GS400 and I can't figure out what to go with. I would like something that is going to still have a smooth ride to it, but I don't want the spungy/smooshie feeling.. What kind of spring rates should I be looking for.. ?

And at the moment money isn't a big issue, but I'd like to stay under $1100..
If it matters, I'm going to be running on 19x9 19x10 +24

 

My opinion....BC Racing coilovers.

They are just under $1k, they have the best ride quality and overall performance IMO of the $1k range coilovers. they are easy to maintain and rebuild and have good support. They also drop really low if you want that.

We can do a custom kit for you on them as well depending on your wants/needs. Just shoot us a PM and we can help

 

I am not the seller, but it would be good to keep the goods in the GS community.......
These are normally almost 2k brand new.....if I had 1k I would buy them.

Don't be scared about used.....

 

Buy HSD or Stance. BEST bang for buck coilover, that provide a good ride and are quality built. Not made in China junk like BC or Megan.

 

Yeah a friend of mine told me the same about the Stance coilovers.. For the Super Sport's (which are the only ones they offer for the GS) they have a spring rate of 14k/10k, is that gonna be a little on the stiff side?

I've never heard of the HSD's though.. New company? And are they based out of Europe?

 

yep, same dampers as stance, they're both made in the same factory in Korea

 

I was reading about the HSD's and I read that they are made in Europe..

 

company is based out of europe, they also have TUV certification (same as K&W) but their dampers are made in Korea.

 

They're actually 1300 new..

1k is a good price for the PBM's though. I'd go for it personally.

 

I'm a big fan of Tein coils. I'm running the advanced on my daily, its currently about three and a half inches lower than stock (slightly tucks tire on all four corners), the ride is very nice almost stock like minus all the floating.

 

HKS Hipermax LS+, if you still can find one.

 

megan ez's or lp's.
