Hey folks.
Im looking for a set of coilovers and wonder what is the best thing to buy for under $1500, not ready for a bilstein that goes over 2k.
What do you guys recomend?
Regards // Norbert

Springs = H&R. They're not expensive and they work all the time.
Match them to a set of Bilstein Sport shocks and you may find that you don't need coilovers.

just go with PSS9s, it's not that much more if you really think about it. $500-700? c'mon fellas. wtf are you doign driving a 911 if you gotta pinch that hard?
height adjustable. key thing. proven with the 911 crowd. key thing. you can say you got PSS9s and be in the cool club (j/k).

PSS9's are decent for the street but they are not ideal for real track use.
JRZ-Moton-Penske are much better and the coilovers that most die-hard racers use.

I'm not even going to get into "real" track use. "Real" track use to me means you're spending enough of your time and talent to put bread crumbs on the table from posting up faster lap times than the other cars on the road course with you.

Else, it's just another hobby.
