Default Endura-Tech Coilovers

Not a whole lot of info about these. Some stuff on nabisco, but not much here. I have ridden in a car with these, and I thought they were sick. It was just coil overs, stock sways. Car felt awesome in the turns. They are affordable from a vendor on here, and over 2k directly from Endura-Tech. Any opinions on them? From everything I've gathered, they are the perfect blend of street/daily driving and track capable coilovers.

again, depends what you want. Are you just a daily driver? Auto-x? Track?

If its just a DD, I'd stay away from coilovers, especially unknown ones.

Yea I think I will eventually. I'm trying to do power first, and then after it's all said and done my focus will switch to suspension.

^ To each their own. But alomost any coilover will make you're car "feel" like it handels amazing. Due to the increased spring rate, weather it really does or not. Is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't wanna do suspension first, then bolt on my Dominator III and then be all sideways . I mean, I do, but I don't wanna have that happen after I spend time and money getting the car to handle right. Once my power is set, I can play with the suspension for the power level that I am at.

Dialing in a car to handle well, takes much more time than just slapping on a bigger turbo and going fast, most people go for the instant pleasure of going fast. Getting your car to handle right at a stg2 or less first will make getting it to handle right again at 400whp a lot easier.

I don't autoX or road race. This is a street driven car, and the turbo is more fun of an upgrade for me right now. That's why I will wait. I kind of see your point, but still think that power levels changing drastically like that after dialing in suspension will drastically change how the car feels. Why tinker with it twice and re-spend more money when I can wait and do it all at once?

isn't it in the eye of the beholder of the stop watch?
