Racing Coilovers

Lowering the ride height and stiffening the suspension are common ways of achieving better handling on the track. Dropping the car lowers the center of gravity, which translates into even weight distribution on the wheels and reduced weight transfer, so the tires stay in contact with the road surface during cornering, acceleration, and braking. Stiffer springs better control body roll and maintain wheel geometry, but what’s also important in racing, they resist great downforce which can cause bottoming out. There are ways to stiffen and lower the suspension, like installing racing shocks and lowering springs. Coilovers are a more popular way to do that as they also provide adjustability which is so valuable in a racing suspension setup.

Coilovers combine two suspension components in one. These include the spring that supports the weight of a vehicle and the shock absorber which dampens its oscillations. An assembly of components perfectly matched together by qualified engineers takes the guesswork out of matching the shock and spring individually. The installation of coilovers alone can bring dramatic handling improvements without the need to fiddle with other suspension parts, which is one of the reasons why most weekend racers go with this setup. What’s more important, coilovers allow for easy height adjustment at each wheel.

Another side of coilover adjustability is damping control. While some designs come with non-adjustable shocks, many racing coilovers include shock absorbers that allow racers to fine-tune the stiffness and thus handling. There are options that provide the adjustment of bump and rebound together and separately. You can take your upgrade a step up with shock-adjustable coilovers which come with a camber kit for you to fine-tune camber settings. We offer an assortment of racing coilovers for any need and budget, sourcing them from reputable aftermarket makers with a wealth of experience and knowledge gained from participation in motorsports.
