There are a number of choices that are referenced here, this is by no means the list of good or bad but more from my memories:

1. bilstein PSS-10
2. Ohlins R/T
3. KW-V3
4. JRZ
5. .........

There are other variants but the ones above have had loyal followings from several of us here on this forum.
Search coil over and there is a ton of reading materials
You will have supporting parts to consider like drop links and other parts...

( just sneaking this in, but it IS OT ( for once )..

what does everyone think of my installing a near mint set of gt3 coil overs and i've got a new set of stubbed axles so i'll be able to keep my stockers intact.. and once and for ALL bail on the dumb** diff that i still have hanging by a thread having only removed my cardan shaft and already long since had installed a wavetrac tbd lsd for true rwd happiness and sideways activity

i'm putting together my parts list can anyone ( steve? ) chime in with what besides gt2/3 uprights/toe linkscamber plates and the stubbed axles i might need.

you guys'd puke if you knew how friggin cheap i have these scored at. i just need to ascertain the mileage make sure they dont need any revalving bs. i have some tech friends thats for sure. oh and 250 labor to install ALL

i'm also gonna hit up pwdr for his freely offered and greatly appreciated advice. i've waited TOO long to finish properly my rwd conversion, but have felt NO downside to my MO30 w h&r springs setup!?! but, it's "time" as someone else will grab these in a ny minute, if i don't.

so..any thoughts re gt3 coil setup?? maybe this'll help the op, and not divert the thread. sorry if it does/did.

for primarily street? look into these or higher end hr rss? setup. these two setups are under full track duty setups and have been well proven to be a workable compromise:

Street Performance Coil Overs
Street Performance Coil Overs
Height adjustable to 1.0 - 2.5” on average
Fine tune lowering to what you want
H&R Street Performance Coil Overs are the perfect suspension solution for discerning drivers—from daily drivers to serious tuners—who can appreciate the awesome handling and superb ride comfort. Each coil over shock is custom valved to work in conjunction with a precision-engineered progressive rate spring, creating a finely tuned suspension system. The fully threaded shock body allows for adjustable vehicle height. This feature helps balance vehicle weight, resulting in a lower center of gravity and improved performance and control.

Note: Ultra Performance are Street Performance Coil Overs with higher performance springs and shocks that are tuned for the more sporty driver. Their performance level is a step between our Street Performance and RSS Coil Overs.


Street Performance SS Coil Overs
Street Performance SS Coil Overs
Height adjustable to 1.0 - 2.7” on average
Adjustable shock damping
H&R Street Performance SS Coil Overs are now available with polished stainless steel shock tubes. These new Coil Overs are shock damping adjustable—allowing personalized tuning of the shock setting to suit driving needs for high performance or comfort. Height adjustability is made possible by fully threaded shock bodies and easy to adjust spring seats / locking rings. H&R ride development engineers have precisely plotted the perfect shock damping curves of each application for optimized handling and superb ride comfort. To ensure the best quality available H&R has partnered with world-renowned shock absorber specialist KONI to manufacture the shocks.
