If you had a reasonably flexible budget, what coilovers would you buy for out and out performance on track? There's plenty of options, it's just difficult to decide what to buy Smile

Cheers!

KW Coilovers are rated pretty highly for track use.. but also carry a fairly hefty price tag

I had the AP ones on my AX years ago and they were brilliant, and good value. Don't know about the 306 ones though.

As far as i've experienced with vaughans setup; TA's with lower brace, accompany that with an upper brace i genuinely think you'll be set for track without spending £££'s on branded coilies.
