Thread: Coilover real-world recommendations

Would like to hear some real world driving (no tracking) experiences/recommendations for a set of coilovers for a 95 200SX SER. Just looking for a good street setup with a slight bias towards comfort vs performance. Would like to keep under $1200. Thanks.

i had bc 8/6's, and changed to the fortune 500 6/4's. alot better dampening and rebound. daily driving on very bad roads.

That's what I'd currently buy based on your post.

Fortune Auto FTW!

I had Tein adjustables on one of my 97 SE-Rs.... very streetable and quality at the same time

I have a set of D2's. The comfort and performance is based on how you set them. Tire choice also plays a big role in the comfort.

My car currently has all of the springs set to stock pre-load. The height is set to 1cm of wheel gap in the front, 1.5cm of wheel gap in the rear. I keep the dampening 5 settings from the softest up front and 1 setting from the most stiff in the rear.

The ride is very nice and my performance is great, but my car is not very low. I have 225/50/16 on the car so it is almost stock height.

One very important thing to know about d2/ksport coilovers for the b14 is that the rears will blow once your start messing with the preload on the spring or when you start slamming the car.
