Coilovers vs. Springs Recommendations

[masaidStinger]

I just picked up a 2022 GT1 (no ECS), I'm deciding between lowering springs and coilovers.

-So far I've read at least a few members have preferred the springs/sway bars/mando over coilovers on their stingers with ECS. However would love some input on coilovers vs. springs on a non-ECS stringer.

-Also, any camber issues with the H&R springs, don't want to be running through tires super quick.

-Would also like to put spacers, anyone have any inputs on combo setup with coilover/springs and spacers that people are running without having any rubbing issues.

Thanks !


I previously had a Bmw 335, with the KW K1 coilovers and loved it. Had an S4 with H&R springs did not like it at all, (think shocks went bad pretty quick).

Hey masaidStinger,

Congrats on your new 2022 GT1! Looking back on your experiences with suspension modifications I would suggest that you go with coilovers rather than springs. I too had KW Coilovers on a BMW as well as BC Coilovers on my last 335 and Megan Racing Coilovers on my car before that. As you may know, coilovers will give you much more flexibility and customization opportunities. KW Coilovers are a night and day difference over any spring that is offered. If coilovers are in your budget, I would suggest that you take that route. If you are interested in seeing what we offer, you can check out our suspension products by clicking HERE. Feel free to reach out in a message if you have any other questions or if you need a discount on your order.

Here are some KW coilovers for sale. I just bought his HRE wheels, and he's excellent to work with:

If the tips are still available, did you have the shape the openings to fit? 3.5 sounds a bit too big compared to the oem
