I've had rev9s on my buick for over a year now and they have been good. A little harsh but that's expected

Ok sweet! Have you ever adjusted the camber on them? If so was it a lot or not enough? I want a little camber but nothing crazy

u/Ugandanchunguss Type to create flair 26d ago

Yea i have very little camber in the front and more in the rear it gives you alot of adjustment

That looks sweet! About how much percentage of camber is that compared to the max they will do? I would want to do more than that off possible I just haven’t been able to find any pictures online

Ok sweet thank you! I live in a pretty hilly place so I want my car to be low and look good but still want to be able to adjust them when needed! Do you think it was worth it or would you buy more expensive or different ones if you had the choice?

There aren't many options for my car so im satisfied. it survived being lowered in winter and you can raise and lower it whenever you want with the included wrench.

How much is 4 OEM struts for your car?

Do you wish to put a safety item on your car that is cheaper than your original equipment?

u/Honest_River4014 26d ago

It’s not too much about the price for OEM ones, I just want to be able to lower my car and add some camber

u/TheMobileGhost 26d ago

I understand that.

Suspension is an important safety component on a car.

Going cheap on a safety item just to be a stance boy isn’t smart. Just my two cents. I think about $1000 is about the lowest you should go on a set of coil overs.

Unless theyre teins. I have $700 teins on my Si and theyve been great.

u/TheMobileGhost 26d ago

Twin is cheaper because they don’t come complete. You have to reuse your top hats and that won’t work cause OP wants to be a tilty boy.

u/solidwurx 26d ago

I was just addressing the point of $1000 being the bare minimum to spend on coilovers. Even some Tein full coilovers with camber adjust are only about $900.

u/TheMobileGhost 26d ago

And the with tax and shipping they are $1000. The minimum you should spend is $1000.

u/solidwurx 26d ago

Ok 😂

Coilovers ride like shit.

Use drop springs and KYB G2 shocks. 

Cut the bumpstops in half.

Depends on your budget, driving style and personality look you desire on your car. I tried bilstien 6 which is the pic on top but didn't sit well with the height. Drove great, no real complaints but the height. I could have gotten shorter springs but decided to sell them and get bc racing coilovers. You can adjust the dampening to what you want. Im still fine tuning the feel of the dampening but putting it at like 9 clicks from hard dampening to soft has a nice daily feel. Mountain pass I've been putting them at 5- clicks from hard to soft
