MIGO RACING COILOVERS
Coilover vsp-II

The Coilover vsp-II is also a full body coil-over. It is assumed to be more aggressive in ability than the vsp-I. It has style, strength, comfort, as well as endurance for occasional days at the track. This suspension allows you to decide whether you feel like hitting the track today or just drive the daily streets.

The shocks are given OEM durability by using steel material for the lower mounts. The spring rates can handle the occasional track experience as well as daily street driving. For a durable and smooth ride, we have added twin tube shocks. This suspension has the ability to withhold the aggressive track drives as well as undergo the wears and tears of daily driving.

The Coilover vsp-II adjusts to your driving needs.
Coilover vsp-II features:
· 32 levels of dampening adjustments Dampening adjustments made with a knob that "clicks" at each level
· Steel construction of lower mounts for maximum strength
· Adjustable camber plates
· Adjustable pillow ball mounts
· Adjustable ride height from the bottom mount
· Withstand conditions from -40 degrees Celsius to 200 degrees Celsius due to special oil lubrication
· Dual tube shock design for maximum ride comfort
· McPherson strut piston size 50mm
· Double wishbone piston size 43mm
· One year warranty


Both coilover vsp-I and vsp-II have matched spring rates and shock valves, which is designed by MIGO Racing. They give you supreme handling ability, as well as maintaining comfort and quality while driving

There are 2 series:
The tuner series: meets the needs and demands of the daily driver as well as it gives you the high performance requirement of the weekend.

The competition series: meets the needs of high performance driving and racing at the road coarse. It has the ability to adjust the riding height and corner weights to maximize the cars suspension set up.




Can you guys tell me what one would be the better one to go with? Thanks!

From what I see, go with Migo. Even though I haven't heard of them, they have more desirable features.

Nobody runs those around here? Are you coming from the honda world or something? You also didn't mention budget or price.

I kid, but If I were to do it again I'd buy new so I at least had the warranty.

ST is KW's lower priced setup.

Would much rather them, than the previous two you mentioned.

my votes for st or bc, st will probably feel better as a street setup comfortwise, BC has more adjustability. Both go real low.
