i am looking at getting some coilovers and i am just wondering wht would be best..

I plan on running 18x9 -8 front rims and 18x10 -25, with wide guards of course.

The car is a weekender and will see track time.

Any help would be great thanks,
Matt

Your price point will determine your choices.

I recently had some Pedders Xtreme coilovers fitted to my S15. These are good on the street and the back roads, haven't tried them on the track yet but I reckon they will go well. $2100 fitted and with a 4 wheel alignment from Pedders Mascot. I am running 18 x 8.5 and 9.5 with no clearance issues.

My car is a similar build for mainly street and a little track.
I got myself a set of Tein Superstreet and they are amazing coilovers for what you get.
But yet again, do you want to spend that much for a streeter?

I picked up a second hand set for $800.
They retail I believe for $3000.
I installed them myself as there is little effort involved.
But I know Louie at Drift Garage would fit coilovers for about $200.

I personally would look at HSD HR coilovers.
Otomoto sells them for $1599.
They aren't a bad set of coilovers IMO.

Note: Softest setting is still quite hard....
