So, as some of you have seen my build, Im building a car for light track use(hpde, adams motorsports park, etc), autox, and to hit the local canyons.
The car spends the majority of its time in the canyons and at adam's(for those of you who dont know, think go kart track).
The time has come where I need new suspension, the car has some non-oem branded oem type shocks with lowering springs and its killing me, and my passengers.
I need a suspension that will handle decently well, while not washing out in the rough road.
My options:
Koni + GC 450f/300r + FCM mounting setup = $1200 (I hear the excessive rebound of konis may cause washout over rough road?)
Koni + GC 375f/250r + FCM mounting setup = $1200 (Lower rates that the konis can handle better?)
949racing Tein street advance setup (NB top hats, 9k/6k springs) = $1150 (I hear good and bad about tein, Halp?)
Rspeed Fortune Auto coilover setup = $1100 (Im only mildly considering this, Ive heard good and bad, and I havnt seen enough about them to really trust fortune auto)
Megan Street coilovers 10k/8k springs = $850 (Greenteee halp? Ive seen the dyno plots, people say they dont look great...but I dont know how to read dyno plots so I have no clue?)
Or should I not even be considering this price point? Should I save up for 6 months just to buy some xida's or FCM's? Im on a college student budget here.
The koni setup seems nice because it has a lifetime warranty on everything, while everything else has a 1 year warranty... But on the flip side konis are hell to revalve, while teins are rebuild/revalveable here in cali.
I've ridden in koni cars, but never with linear spring rates. I've never been in a car with fortune autos. I've seen tein flex setups perform well, and my buddy is supposed to let me drive his car with megan EZ's on it pretty soon.
