Coil-Over selection??
Guys
I am looking to change out my VBP race suspension over to a coil-over system... I like the VBP as far as handling, it's bad A$$, just a bit rough for the road as an everyday driver... What's everybody's opinoin on the best coil-over system... I'd like the easy capacity of a soft but firm ride on a daily basis and then have the capability to lock her down for the track..... Anybody have any sugestions??

check out the PFADT, thats thats what I am planning on. can't tell you firsthand yet, but everyone I have talked to loves them because they are so adjustable. Ride height is independent of firmness. I need them to be just like your talking about to go from the winter torn utah roads to the ultra smooth millermotorpark.

It was definetly a good upgrade over the stock, I think I went just a little too much spring rate for a daily driver... when it's on a smooth curvy road it's awesome, it's unbelievable, it sticks and goes... but like I said I did a little too much spring rate so going down the majority of the bumpy roads in Texas is harsh.... I get bounced that's for sure... I would definetly keep it for a track car or for someone who live near a bunch of smooth roads... I45 in houston is not a friendly road. I am actually going to go to a road track, finally in about 3 weeks so I will really get to take it the edge, I can't wait....
