Hello people, this is my 180:
It came from Japan with, amazingly, a fairly sensible ride height that I'm going to retain, but unfortunately, it is fitted with some cheap, unbranded, presumably Chinese coilovers. They're already almost 6 years old as they have 2013 stamped on them. The car corners nice and flat but the ride is utterly terrible, boneshaking over potholes, and bouncing me into the air whenever the road surface undulates suddenly. My original plan was to replace them with a set of more decent quality coilovers, like some HSDs or similar. However, I'm not so sure now. Above all I'd like to give this car back some ride quality, as it's really letting it down, whilst maintaining its current ride height.
So my question is, can you get coilovers that can be set up to give decent ride quality, or am I barking up the wrong tree there and should revert to factory style struts? I was thinking Koni Sport dampers with H&R lowering springs if I went the strut route.
