Decent track coilovers
Hi guys, I've searched around a bit and it seems that a set of decent quality track coilovers are quite rare for our car. I'm looking for something along the lines of the KW Clubsports, or HKS Hipermax III Sport or Super Sport. It's going to be for a dedicated track car, so road manners are not an issue. Cost isn't too much of an issue, probably up to around 3000 dollars would be ok. I know Koni has shocks, but I'm looking for a complete coilover.
Please don't flame me, I promise I have searched!

KW V3's are a good street/track coilover and the only true 2-way adjustable in its price range. They are very comfortable on the street while the valving and spring rates instill a lot of confidence on the track. Downside is they are heavier then Ohlins and if you want a full track coilover down the road you will need higher spring rates which involve a little extra work because the rear uses the stock top hat and a progressive spring.

Yeah, i do like the KW's but the V3 are still a little too soft for full track use. Thats why i was hoping they would make a clubsport version for the RX8 but they dont.
I'll see what i can find out about the fat cat and ohlins.

Yeah, i'm liking the ohlins, for there adjustability, more than the fat cats.
I find it a bit strange that the fat cats are non-adjustable, although they are very well priced for custom valved coilovers!
