Suspension

Coilovers are shock absorbers designed to be able to adjust ride height, and specifically to improve handling. Ride quality may suffer depending on the suspension options selected as lowering a car can mean a bumpy ride. The main purpose of these devices is to reduce body roll and increase corner speed.

Choose the right Suspension components that will reduce body roll, increase cornering abilities and let you shave off time in the twisties!
