$300 eBay Coilovers vs. $2500 Coilovers - Is it worth it?

Are $2500 coilovers worth the money or can a $300 set get the job done? The HiLow boys (James Pumphrey, Zach Jobe, Aaron Parker and Nolan Sykes) set out to answer the tough questions about upgrading suspension.
We bought two identical Nissan 350z's and have been modifying them to be FUN daily drivers that you can take to the track. James Pumphrey and Zach Jobe's 350z gets the expensive parts, while Nolan Sykes and Aaron Parker's gets the cheap ones. Then we test them to see which components are actually worth spending the money on.
Hi Team got a set of fully adjustable KW Suspension V3s and Low Team spent $300 on a set of eBay coilovers… well they don’t actually even have a name.
So is it worth it? And which ones would you buy?

[@TheJackster25]

@Zeksteve It's expected. People think stock suspension is garbage but in reality its much better than most coilover systems. You need hours and track testing and adjustment to actually match stock suspension. Moral of story? Upgrade the tires and wheel setup before even touching ur suspension bolts folks.

[@blue04mx53]

@@TheJackster25 I agree.I am novice to all this so, all I know is what I've seen on youtube and what people have told me trackside. So far everything I've seen about coilovers seems to emphasize the fact that they are adjustable for different tracks and track conditions. I hope someone can point me to a video about how to decide how to adjust them. What factors do you need to consider ? What do you look for on track that helps you decide how to adjust them. And is it easy to adjust coilovers during a track day? Another thing they didn't do or talk about was whether or not they needed to do an alignment after the coilovers were installed.

[@woah.montana]

LafcadioTheLion and engine too

[@superstubborn_]

Blue 04 MX 5 before adjusting the suspension set up, you first need to have proper tires, tire pressure, good ride height, alignment and corner balance. KW for instance, they provide you a recommended setting. It’s usually a good starting point. To test if the set up is right for the track you are driving, you need to pay attention to the car behaviour during corner entry, mid corner, corner exit. If you get entry understeer/oversteer, then you need to adjust from compression and rear rebound (1 at a time), if you get exit understeer/oversteer, you need to adjust front rebound and rear compression (1 at a time too). In mid corner, it is then related to spring stiffness & anti-roll bar.

[@superstubborn_]

Blue 04 MX 5 everything is related to vehicle dynamics basically. And there are bunch of stuff to learn. For example, lowering a car can lower your center of gravity, but your roll center also drops at the same time. And it drops more than COG. That actually increase the distance between COG and roll center, which results more roll. Body roll is not a bad thing and does not affect load transfer, but it is bad for your alignment and aero drag.

I love this series. Especially watching you living the dream of just bolting stuff onto cars and getting along with it. Here in Germany you‘d have a lot of problems with those eBay parts. For every modification you need to have the “TÜV” acknowledge and certify it with that very car. It’s expensive and without proper papers going with the parts you put in, which have to be specific to that very model of car, you won’t be able to get it certified and therefore couldn’t put it into your car (without losing insurance and basically be driving an “illegal” car). It’s so nice to see you guys just having that freedom of modification ✨

I put Öhlins on my Evo X, the difference was incredible, my favorite mod out of pretty much almost anything performance related you can imagine on a 600 HP Evo Can’t remember what paid for them, $2200 I think, totally worth it. When you consider a 100 HP gain on the Evo would cost you triple that for all the parts and tuning, I’d recommend getting the coilovers as one of your first big mods since the benefit to handling will make you much less likely to accidentally wreck your car Actually, I ramped a ditch trying to avoid a deer and they held up fine and I still had just enough ground clearance to avoid damaging anything. Although, to be fair, I set my ride height a little higher than most people due to the crappy roads where I live

[@mstrtrv]

Great video, I really enjoyed the level of effort given to keep the cars evenly matched. I feel though the testing might have been a bit flawed. The true value of great suspension is its ability to keep the tire planted on the ground for consistent traction while cornering or accelerating. While the slalom course was a great choice for the testing, a slalom course with much wider longer corners with areas of uneven road would really allow the value of adjustable rebound and compression to really shine. Imagine, during a long high speed corner you encounter a bump. The suspensions ability to react to and get the tire back on the ground quickly while not upsetting the balance of the car makes the difference between losing a few inches off your line and meeting the outside wall. Round 2 please.

Coilovers make negligible differences in terms of speed from A to B, but they are critical when shaving time off a track and safety when you have a project car that's capable of pushing big numbers around that chicane.

FYI, Anyone buying the cheap coilovers may consider upgrading the rear springs with a $200 12k rate option spring from BC or Megan (also Eibach makes a pair to order for reasonable money and allows you to keep the lower rate but have a longer spring). All options allow a normal ride, which is worth a lot of improvement to the ride and performance.

KW are awesome. Had a series 3 on my Audi A3 Quattro. The recomended setting was spot on perfect. Stainless steel is great for swedish winter. Great clip. High quality content. Thanks. Subbed.

[@boxoffisa]

Do you recommend kw on skoda?

[@chrisssinstockholm]

@@boxoffisa I have no personal experience but I have great confidence in KW. Good luck.

@@chrisssinstockholm thanks mate. Will try.

[@Djiehh]

You should've done the same slalom course with the stock cars to see if either set of new coilovers did anything to improve the cars as they were. Would've been a nice way of comparing the cars to each other as well.

This is an awesome show guys. I was just getting ready to replace the suspension on my AE86. Wanted to know if it was really worth going for the top of the line parts. I’ll save my money and go for something middle of the road but built with quality after watching this. I’ll use the money I save to get some decent seats. Thanks Donut!

[@elliotspirrett7752]

I think the point made above was really interesting about the idea that adding coilovers is automatically better: the OEM parts are designed, tested, redesigned, retested, etc. etc. for that car. Seems like if you're going to go down the suspension route, get something specific for you car and have it properly set up by someone who knows their shit inside out.

[@elliotspirrett7752]

Seems like basically tyres are the answer to improvements

I just ordered KW Coilovers on my 2012 Chrysler 300 base and their the best company I ever bought

[@PS_on_youtube]

I’d think a set of Eibach lowering springs with the stock suspension (dampers, etc...) would cost $300~ and be the BEST option of the two (price to performance).

[@kareemt4526]

Facts I got a pair of ebay lowering springs and eibach on two identical integras, I don't drive the one with the ebay lowering springs much

[@BillyJoe1305]

350s are more than a decade old. New stock coilovers is probably a night and day difference.

[@kareemt4526]

@@BillyJoe1305 I think I'd still prefer lowering springs over coilovers, I just purchased an audi with coilovers (ecs) my mechanic says they are high end not the cheap ones, they ride nice but it makes a clanking noise when you turn the wheel, I was told that's normal but I understand the reason especially with different rim choices

[@s19pajua13]

BillyJoe1305 exactly what I said. I bet the cheap eBay coilover ser does worse than a simple brand new oem set

[@oscardesignstudios]

No it isn't..

[@oscarsarto8401]

Very cool vids. FYI, a damper's main job is to keep the tires in contact with the road not comfort

Go buy Ohlins for that price.... I'm on that band wagon, but they're just that much nicer.

stop with ohlins. there is brand like Nitron wich are far better at the same price.

[@ArtdesTests]

That ad was great!!

[@ryanceplecha233]

You should get a third 350 and keep it stock. Then run lap times to see how these upgrades compare. That way there’s a control group in these tests. Kind of like what Top Gear did with the Renault Avantime.
