Copy/paste/edit lets get this list bigger then debate whats the best bang for the buck at each level.

Definitely the racelands:giggle:

Where is Moton and Robispec?

off the chart

Öhlins?

advance design?

wrong thread.

I'm going to get rid of the Flex next year and get something with comp and decomp adjustability. I'm no pro by any means, but I see the short comings of the flex damping and would like more comp in the front, less comp in the rear, but more decomp in the rear. I also want more droop in the front, and I have the front's so stiff that apparently they're jacking, but i don't know what that feels like.

I imagine that by the time I get those set up, I'll wish I had low/high adjustability too.

I'll take your teins :)

H&R coilovers, I think they list new for $1100 but I've seen more than one set being sold as-new for $700ish.

Damn you. I'll actually be in the market for used Flex late Feb.

I've seen three sets go for $700-900 recently...and I'm not passing up another.

What is the list for? Street + track? Street + autoX + track? track only? Etc. Without knowing the purpose it's tough to give this list a ranking.

Lets just grow the list first, this list is in response to this thread...

Ohlins DFV added...though Goodwin used to sell a custom version for $200 more)

thanks, anybody else?

Seems like this thread had some good infos:

Couple of things that I would add to the list are used Flex for $800 and the FM2 kit with their springs and Illuminas. Sounds like a decent package for $800 total from those that have it.
