Coilovers Suggestions

[ScaR]

So I'm currently looking on what I can look for to make my car feel like a rally car. I'm looking right now at coilovers but don't know where to go or what to look for to make my car feel like a rally car. Also is there any other recommended parts I can get to make my car feel like a rally car?

What aspect(s) of the rally car experience do you want to reproduce? Do you want to get extra clearance or something else? AFAIK most off the shelf coil-over products are engineered to achieve the opposite.

There was a thread about this on here recently, this should have some good information for you.

Be sure to follow the link in DialCaliper’s response (a mechanical engineer with a deep interest in optimizing suspensions) in that thread to the custom “rally” style springs he built. It has a complete parts list with direct links to vendors and a complete set of instructions and tips for assembling them. (Meant to be clear for anyone to follow and easily assemble). You can use them with your stock struts and shocks or upgrade to B6 Bilsteins. He was very satisfied with the results he got with relatively inexpensive parts (about $350 to build the springs plus the cost of the struts and shocks if you decide to upgrade). A few members have started to do just that, including me; hope to have the last of my parts next week and start the project.
