anyone done this yet?? would love to hear comparisons etc!

 

I have H&R Coils on my vehicle. that's so much comfortable. but there isn't any hard/soft setup on it. just for lowering.

 

How much lowering, and how much were they installed? Are they equivalent to the JCW suspension for about $1300?

 

Pretty much anything on an R56 will fit on the R58. I have Fortune Auto Series 500 Custom Coilovers. Full lowering, dampening, camber adjustable. Check out this link for my review and photos.

Mine can go way lower, but I like where I am. They are set about mid way on dampening which is stiffer than stock but not jarring. I went with custom swift springs which also adds a lot to the comfort and handling.

I paid a special price for them as I was a sponsor/demo for fitment on the R58. Retail price is in between KW v1 and KW v2. You can find them different prices from different vendors, so shop around. The prices can come down a bit if you opt to pass on the Swift spring option and go with their own springs. It comes down even more if you pass on the roller bearings and the rear dampening adjustments extensions.

Install cost me $500 for the coilovers, rear sway, front end links, rear control arms, torque arm insert, and strut tower. The hardest part of that install was the rear sway. My installer admitted he would have charged more if he knew you had to drop the entire rear subframe to swap the rear sway out

You have plenty of option for the R58, most all of them are better options than the JCW kit.

While we're on the topic, does anyone know if the Megan Racing Coilovers require any wheel spacers to avoid rubbing? If so, what size spacers? Stock 17" Challenge wheels.

 

Not sure about Megans, but I needed some. Went with 12mm.

 

I have a roadster and am looking at coil overs right now. My first choice is KW Clubsports but I'm not sure if they fit a 3013 S with N18 motor. Part # KW ClubSport Coilovers (35220850). If they don't work out my next option is KW B-specs. The B-specs are about $500.00 cheaper with Vorshlag camber plates. Hope to order on Monday. In the end I ended up getting Ohlins road and track with Vorshlag camber plates. I'm happy with my decision, because I have Ohlins on my EVO and love them so went with what I knew. Plus the Ohlins ended up being $3.00 dollars cheaper since Ohlins have dropped there price by $600.00
