I am on the fence, considering suspension upgrade options. I mostly drive the car on the street, but it's not a daily driver. I occasionally take it to the track (Sebring, which is rough) and would like a good suspension option  that provide adjustable dampening for dual use and ideally height adjustment to be able to bring it down to the right stance. I currently have the Eibach lowering springs on the stock shocks. I really enjoy the progressive rate Eibach springs, they work great for street use, so a coilover option with progressive rate springs is a good option. The Eibach springs are good but, I wish I could lower the front end about another half to three quarter inch; therefore the coilover options would be a good fit. 


I am considering: Adjustable konis to go with my existing Eibachs, KW variant 3, Bilstein PSS10, H&R Street performance.  

 

I'm also planning to upgrade the sway bars and end links at the same time to the Eibach sways front and rear. as well as a full set of POWERFLEX bushings all around. 

 

What are your thoughts on my project?  and are there any other considerations out there? 

 

All my best,


Larry

My experience was just as you, formally Eibach springs and stock Bilstein Hds. The research I did on coilover systems indicated that most have higher rate springs that just the thing for the track but not so good for every day driving. Some time ago however, another member wrote very positively of his experience with the KW Variant 3 both on street and track. His review sounded like just what I was after and now that I have them installed, I can second all the good things he said. They are beautifully made, very adjustable in both rebound and dampening and with spring rates that are not overly harsh on poorly paved roads.
