Hey guys, new to the forum world just wondering what everyone has for coilovers. Looking to get a set I do go to the track 4-5 times a year and street drive.

any opinions?

BC racing
QA1
Vikings

I went with the BC Racing BR series Coilovers. I think they’re a good entry level option at only $1200.00. They’ve got height and damping adjustments. I’ve never had it on the track but have been really happy with their performance on the two lane twisties.

Go with the ViKings for sure! I have a set of their double adjustable shocks I use with leaf springs still, but their coil over options are good too. Cant beat them for the price really. The ***** are easy to reach and I can make adjustments without jacking the car up or removing a wheel. No special tools needed like some coil over options.

I appreciate you starting this thread as it would be useful to compile peoples experiences with these suspensions. I'm looking for coil overs myself but for a budget track (no street) build so I'm looking at decent suspension without breaking the bank (so no remote reservoirs).

I've used BC Racing BR on my previous track/street car and was happy.

I'm also considering Fortune Auto 510s.

OH and theres LG Motorsports G2 Bilstein Coilover kit.

I should add that I'm not an engineer and not a suspension tech either. So lots of adjustability just has me thinking there's more to screw up. QA1's have all that adjustability as do the Vikings, but I don't know if that a positive necessarily.

Has anyone had good success racing with a certain brand?

What sway bars and end links are those?

I have Silvers with upgraded swift springs on my car for about 2 years now. Best thing I've done to the car. Hotchkis sway bars where added at the same time.

Menscer double adjustable coilovers for my street / strip manual transmission C5. The drivetrain is much happier now.

Second for Silver's here as well. Preload isn't affected by ride height adjustments and you can also adjust front/rear damping with car on the ground. Given the options you listed along with Silvers, they're all pretty much a budget oriented setup except Vikings.

Viking Triple adjustable tailored for your car and application, my experience with them was impressively positive...
I am just off a check in corner weights and alignment, ride heigh in the mm, and two angles off by 0.01, and corner weight in the 5kg corner weight difference.
Next will be the same brand.
