Default New suspension setup?

Right now I am running the H&R Coilover's w/ a TRD Rear Sway and a Tanabe front strut bar. However, I'm looking for a different set up.I don't autox my car but I do like the car to handle well and I'm not looking for the slammed look. Just low enough to scrape hahaha. I was thinking of going with the H&R's again, but this is the 2nd time I've had a shock blow on me so I'm beginning to think they aren't that great (and I avoid every bump possible). I was looking at the Function and Form V2's but I don't think I need dampening, however it would be nice. My tC is my daily driver, but I don't mind a stiff ride. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm still skeptical on those racelands.

If you don't beat on it and won't be autoxing... I say go for the Racelands... why not? They're $300.

What? I totally would... worst case they work for a year and then die... then toss them. Like disposable coilovers.

Only reason I don't get them is autox... otherwise I probably would have gotten them this year just to try them out.

I was thinking Function&Form V1's, because they're decently priced and I know they are a quality coilover from what I have read. I was thinking the V2's but I don't need the dampening. I'd rather not go from H&R to Raceland. Hmm

I am going to try out BC racing coils as well, and from the pictures I have seen, they can go pretty low too if that is what your looking for. Look for me to have them in a month or so .

^^I can give you some,

-$1000
-Come with pillowball mounts
-camber adjustments up front
-30 dampening adjustments
-spring rates are 8k F/10k R or you can get the optional 6k/8k
-Also you dont lose shock travel because the whole lower body adjusts so you dont mess with the spring preload and stuff
-they go pretty low
-they are extremely popular with subaru people from what i have seen


plus they look pretty sweet, lol




here is a pic of how you adjust them,

Hmm, the BCs match my car. Might have to pick those up if they are good and if my racelands have had enough.

I like my racelands right now. Sure it's not going to be great for autoXing, but they are more meant for DD. Install them correctly and you shouldn't have a problem, and if you do Raceland is on top of it to replace parts.
