    ^yep, the road and tracks.

    You could try out a set of springs first since it's your DD and all. Why blow the money on coilovers if you get what you want from a set of springs, you know?

    I always say megans street or track version. They are a great budget coil... especially when they are set up properly.

    What is the difference between them? Might be time for me to upgrade from these springs

    It is all a budget question honestly. There is a bunch of coilovers out for the car in all forms of awesome, crap, cool, and not now a days so it really comes down to how much you plan to spend vs what you plan to do with the car. A proper setup coilover is ten times better than one that is out of the box and on the car so cheap isnt always bad.

    You can contact us at 9514025386 and I can happily walk you through some options

    Definitely talk to Gilbert...would be difficult to find someone that knows more than he does with suspension...you would be in good hands, like Allstate...

    Ohlins probably have the best valving among all the sub 3K coilovers.

    Back when I still had my WRX, I had pretty good luck with the Tein SuperStreet coils.

    anyone heard of Fabtech? I got a person who wanted to sponsor my car with that suspension kit, just wondering if i should go with it?

    Whatever you do, just ask Gilbert at Massimo Power. He set up my Ohlins and they are even smoother than stock.

    Try Fortune Auto 500. They seem to have great reviews, and great if you're on a budget.

    lol Ohlins for daily?? Definitely bawlin! lol

    I think springs would be the better option if you're just gonna daily it. But if you're planning on doing any track events, good set of coils would be good.

    ^^^ The road and tracks are really buttery for the street and Muellerized just lowered their prices on them + you can have them set up to how you use your car. It is a baller option but they really are the best.

    IX RS
    I have had Muellerized Ohlins on my daily driven IX RS for 3 years. John and crew set it up great...and the feel has been phenomenal.

    Would I do it again for my usage? No. It's quite a bit of money, and over the past year they have made noises that we cannot diagnose.

    Good luck!
