Best options for racing coilovers? Options

[jmz]

So I run coil overs front/rear

Currently I have Bilsteins up front. …some archaic markings that I cannot discern (518 AK57352 1610 1600 is stamped)

Konis are on the rear.

Both have been on for quite some time. I’ve had car since 2016, word is car sat for 8 years before I purchased it but who knows.

Anyway, as part of a mild refresh, I think it’s time to replace.

This is only a race car.

Any thoughts on best option money not a huge object or best value for the money?

Replace what was there? Von Shocks from elephant? MCS? …Ohlins?

Thanks

JAY

Mark, we can chat. But right now what I’m looking for is some guidance on what works. I’m not prepared to custom order a set from MCS.

By the way, I have a friend with Penske on his 911 -the car is awesome and handles really well.

A budget friendly option can be to have your Bilsteins rebuilt/revalved. Not quite as good as MCS obviously, but a well set up car on properly valved Bilsteins can handle very well.

Sometimes I remind myself that setup and driving are waaaay more important than having the latest and greatest bit on your car. For the 1975 IMSA race at Lime Rock, Peter Gregg put a factory RSR on pole with a time of 54.9 seconds. On Bilsteins probably, or maybe Konis, and on tires that would be considered bricks by today's standards. The fastest club racers struggle to match that time even today, with their fancy shocks and much better tires.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I was looking for custom valving.

I may just go with new bilstein 220/100 in front and try Konis in rear like it’s been setup.
This would be both cheap and quick. But I am intrigued by something more modern.
Springs are 450 and 250 rear. No rear sway…
