Bought car from friend - $300
Replaced Guibo & center release bearing at shop - $300
Bought 17X8 3 series wheels - $120
Total budget: $720
Subtracting from $2,019, I have $1,299 left.
Please help me choose coilovers as that's the next step. Ranked in order until I hear otherwise are my most to least likely to purchase.
1. Godspeed Monomax 12K F 10K R springs (keep rear sway bar) $800
1.5 Godspeed Monomox 8K F 10K R springs (remove rear sway bar) $800
2. BC Racing BR 10K F 12K R springs (remove rear sway bar) $995
3. TA Technix [ebay] 9K F 10K R (hopefully not met with slow painful death) $349
4. Bilstein or Koni shocks $0 (wear item). Concern for camber
Any others I should consider? FEAL would put me out of range, sadly.
I'm largely considering the cheapo ones since I can try to sell something off the car and get to $1,000 for the added challenge.
Or, I can buy 17X9s and fit a 245/40 tire w/o pinching. Otherwise I will pinch a 235/40 Federal RS-RR/RS-pro on the 8s
Input? Is adding a front sway bar really needed?
I like my cars to understeer slightly at the limit. I drive a STX R56 Mini S and STR NB Miata most frequently at autocross and track days.
My largest problem is I saw at the wheel making driving a STR ND Miata a drifty but usually still quick excursion. I cannot relearn to drive in under 2 months.
