Default Coilover Kits

I know this has been beaten to death. I'm just looking get reviews from people who are running these kits or can recommend them.

Stasis Street-Sports

Vogtland GT's

There was one other I was looking for that was in the same price range too but it slips my mind right now. I'll post it once I find it.

Any Ideas on those two for now would be great. I'm looking to make the buy within the next week. Thanks!

Why have you not considered H&R? That's my input.

I've heard pretty good things about the Vogtlands.

What type of use are they getting?

If you aren't going to track it, then get the cheapest kit.

I'd recommend a camber kit also to save your tires.
Adjustable UCAs or KMAC Eccentric bushings.

I know nothing about coil overs. I have heard of brands like Ohlins, KW Variants, Tein, Bilstein PSS9s', etc. Are these any good becasuse most people have h&r and others? I am also in the market for coil-overs and have no clue what to get.

Öhlings and Bilstein are the ultimate Coils, but also the most expensive, IMO H&R or KW is the best bang for buck, but I think the H&R have a better performance. I don´t know about Tein or Vogtlands. I would go with the H&R.

Ohlins are IMO probably the best design. They have tons of R&D into suspensions.

Tein are just another cheap Asian product.

Vogtland was founded in Germany 100 years ago and have only had a HQ in the states since 2001.
So I would imagine they know a thing or two about German cars.

I had a homebrew coilover kit on my previous rig, and I loved it, super tight on the corners and it didn't make you knock your teeth out when you're cruising on the highway. IMO, it was great for a daily driver.

I had Eibach springs on top of Bilstein Sports. ECS sells a kit that contains the sleeves, spring mounts, and the adjuster nuts (haha that is designed to slide over Bilstein shocks -- it fit perfectly. IMO, it's the way to go, Bilstein's warranty is awesome and they make it super easy to make a claim (at least they were really helpful in my experience). You basically get a Bilstein-ish coilover kit for less than $1000. As I recall, you should be able to pick up each shock for $100-$120, $300 for the coilover kit from ECS and $200-$250 for a set of Eibach springs.
