I had st coils on my fuze. They rode good but are stiffer than reg suspension. Adjustability is always a pro.
@Brian
You can adjust the height on coilovers. You can also adjust the softness and firmness on them. I’ve had them on a little over a year. My car was the test car for BC Racing coilovers on the 13′ and up Fusions
You can adjust! Lowering springs on stock struts and absorbers can wear down. Coilovers are built for the stressload. You can adjust how stiff or soft your damper is. They come with new struts, springs and absorbers. Both have cons due to ball joint wears and bushing wear cause the fact you’re putting more stress on other parts. Pro on springs – affordable con – you’ll stay at a set height , pro on coils – made for it, can adjust height and damper and camber, con – you have to insure monthly or a comfortable time to check if your perches are tight.
St suspension coilovers are the best in my opinion
Coils vs springs. I fucking love my coils end of that. Springs are nice too and more affordable
I got bc racing coils on my 13 fusion
KW V2 coils rides better then stock imo just a little more stiff but I like that.
Coils
Springs
My previous setup on Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and Bilstein B6 HD shocks
Now on Vogtland lowering springs and KONI yellow adjustable dampening shocks
I’m on Vogtland springs also. I really need to get new shocks since I’m bottoming them out.
@Tyler – you’ve got two choices only – KONI yellow adjustables or Bilstein B8 shocks. As you know I’m on KONIs. @Ben, who also is riding on Vogtlands, has the B8s on his Sport
Nice. Probably pretty spendy lol
Reason I have not replaced my shocks yet. My ride is horrible and I’m guessing it cause the shocks are bottomed out
Or they could be blown.
Ya. That to. I haven’t had any fluid come out yet
Yeah, they’re probably blown. Bilsteins are $550 from CD3. Konis are around $600 if I’m remembering correctly.
Nice. Thanks!! P
When I was on Eibachs, my driver side Bilstein B6 HD shock blew due to an incorrect install. Stupid mechanic and Bilstein wouldn’t warranty it.
If you bought from CD3 before, you can use your reward points towards the purchase and get $ off
Wow that sucks. Mine blew because I’m an idiot lol I cut my front springs because I hate how the front sits higher than the backs so I made the front sit lower. Now I regret it
I have not yet. But j have been looking at the site a lot. Trying to talk myself into that $300 tuner.
Yikes! Actually, the mod you should’ve done was grind off the tab on the shock housing.
That’s a much better Idea
Your front looks like it was as low as mine was on Vogtland 4cyl springs
Not knowing we installed 4cyl springs, mine my car rode like shit!!
Ya it does
I got the Mazda 6 springs
Vogtland was awesome to work with but I had to wait for replacement springs to come from Germany. My car sat for 6 weeks because it wasn’t drivable.
I bet it did
Jeez. To long. Mine sat for 3 months cause the motor blew up :/
Well love your cAr man, very clean!!
Thanks @Tyler! Much appreciated! May I ask – you cut your Vogtlands up front?
I think they may have been for the v6
So the front sat really high
If you can see the part # on one of the front springs, see if you can take a pic
I still have the box they came in. I’ll pull it out of my upstairs later today and get a pic of it
