Shock works coilovers are the best coilover on the market and extremely cheap IMO.
Great company to deal with and excellent customer service and post fitment support.
Car - AE86
Engine - 16v
use - street, drift, grip...no dirt
currently have: Chopped lowered springs front, dead shocks
lowered Rear springs, Red short stroke tokico?? shocks to suit
both unknown spring rates
Rear suspension on the car feels good for what it is, fronts are shit, fronts don't match the rear
Needs new suspension
Willing to spend $2000-$3000 for complete setup
have considered BC coilovers, Mugan for cheaper bang for buck option but after a hard long thought last night, and flipping the pages of my N2 AE86 book trying to decode japans language to find out what N2 AE86 cars are running, i got no where
all i know is most of them run all CUSTOM springs and shock combination to have the perfect setup for their cars
So me being very so lightly knowledgeable of the suspension world, im taking the easy way out
What company still makes top notch coilovers for AE86? ive googled and not many results came up for AE86 coilovers
only ones ive come across are Greedy Type S coilovers that are worth taking further interest into but im looking for something better then this option if possible for the budget
needs to be streetable but bloody UP THERE when taken to the track..like as if i'll be competing in world time attack because race car
i know many other things will effect how the car rides but im only talking about coilover options here
D2 - dont want
BC - dont want
Mugan - dont want
APEXI - dont want
coilovers found on ebay - dont want
Greedy - considered
MCNSPORT - i haven't taken interest but they seem like the others to me, BC, D2 etc..
SHOCKWORKS - THE WINNER! 5x better than the BC's i previously had

You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
Yeah get onto shift_rook (that's his username).
His dad owns shock works , they make amazing coilovers for the ae86 for around 2k.
Similar to what you'd expect to find in a race car
Shockworks have a massive piston and great ride comfort.
Very amazing setup.
Big up's for the North East Massiv'
NSATB - New Skids Around The Block
DG-5 also make them for AE86's. Unsure on how good they are though, but hey its Tsuchiya's company lol
Driftworks? never tried them myself. I know you do not want BC's but there are a few people running them.
