New Coilover Time, Suggestions and Reasons?
Ok so im looking into new coilovers now as im refreshing all of my setup. Right now i have K-Sport Kontrol Pro's should i rebuild them for $100 a coil, or get new ones?

The decisions so far are:

BC BR-Type

Fortune Auto 500 Series

Or PBM's

what are your opinions on these since my budget is around $1000

IF you state an opinion please state the PROS and CONS of the coilovers you are recommending, and please only recommend if youve owned them and driven on em for a while. Thanks!

FA 500's. Custom spring rates, revalves cost the same as your ksports, their customer service is super good, and they do all their work in VA and ship quick.

Youve owned before? What spring rate would you reccomend. I was thinking 10/8. Its a rb25 s13. Track use only.

Really? He brought up BC Racing and you're gonna bring up Ohlins? This guy cant even comprehend what Ohlins are, might as well afford them.
