Looking at some new coilovers, which are better

Or any other sugestions

I can recommend HSDs as I have them and they seem very solid and well built. I am part way through fitting a set of BCs to a mates car and they seem OK for the money too.... although they don't seem as sturdy.

Trouble is you have missed out on the HSD group buy £560. If you contact them they might do you a "Sale" price but you won't get them for that sort of money till next year, usual price is £760.

bc are good for the money . lots have them and i have not heard of any complaints

i have the d2's but cant tell you how they ride as ive not driven on them yet they look nice thou

On a budget I'd go with a set of Tein Super Street or Bilstein dampers with lowered springs.

See THIS THREAD about the BC coilovers.

HSD, had these fitted & what a difference it makes at £560 it seemed crazy cheap for the quality. give driftworks a call while VAT is still 17.5% they may do a deal

What are you going to use the car for?

If it's mainly road use the Chris Wilson setup (trader on here) comes highly recommended and is used on many members cars, he can also do a track setup but I recall that being alot more

When I first had my hsd fitted I thaught they felt like rock compared to my uk shocks with lowering springs. But a couple of people have said how good the ride is with them so I guess it's more me not knowing any different

To be fair I think they would feel rock hard compared to UK suspension. I can't comment though as I went from TRD suspension to Megan racing coilovers and then onto HSDs. The TRD Suspension was rock hard anyway so I haven't noticed a negative difference in comfort. In fact I'm almost positive on their softest setting they are more comfortable lol.

i found that scott, my hsd are on the softest setting, what with every bush underneath in poly its just comfortable! i have'nt played yet but dr jekly went up the road with them in the middle setting...lol

+1

I loved my yellow Bilstein dampers with Tein springs.

+1 for the CW suspension. I have had a couple others and this is by far the best setup for a well rounded supra. Nice ride height (1 1/2" down IIRC) and not the rock hard ride you would expect for something that actually works quite well for a trackday or two and it is build on quality and comes with a full geo setup if you get Chris to install it

I jumped on the HSD group buy, definetly a bargain at £560, mind you I'm still waiting for them to turn up, out of stock until January at some point, but I hope they come in soon!!!!

I do notice Driftworks are doing them for £684 at the moment so getting on for £100 saving.

Tein Superstreets are a fair bit harder than stock UK suspension, even on the softest setting. Lowering the car much makes it pretty bad too on these. I had Aragosta suspension on my last car, which was utterly fantastic but is VERY expensive (well over £2k) My cuurent SZ-R has stock suspension that feels old, so i'll be trying the Chris Wilson road setup (When I eventually have some money )

I never liked the budget Tein as they aren't height and spring rate adjustable. If you change the height, the spring rate changes.

The HSDs can also be height adjusted in situe which makes a MASSIVE difference

I run german bilstein's with what im assuming are matched bilstein springs.

Ride height is just right, ride comfort is spot on and it handles beautifully.

Thats my 2 cents

I thick that the BC ones are very good for the money , I fitted mine about a year ago and I think that they are very good . the ride and ajustment easy .

I'm in the same boat mate. Looking at BC Racing and D2 coilovers. They seem very similar in set up and adjustability. I reckon it may come down to which is cheaper.

I fitted a set of BC Racing coilovers for a friend a few months back. Cracking buy on a budget but I don't think they are as sturdy as some others out there. In comparison to my HSDs I thought they were very small in areas.... good for a weight saving though
