I've got the WORKS/Ohlins Stage III coilover with WORKS tunk cage, WORKS rear sway and Croxx plate. It's absolutly amazing. A bit rough at low speeds, like in bumpy parking lots, but at speed it's better than some BMWs i've driven. Haven't been able to get it on the track yet, but it's noticably better with just the little bit of spirited driving I've been able to do with it so far.

I highly, highly recommend the WORKS.

I have the WORKS/Ohlins Stage 3. had it on my 8 and now on the 9. I do a lot of autocross and track work.

Here is my setup:
WORKS Ohlins stage 3 DFV
WORKS rear sway bar
WORKS CROXX plate
WORKS fornt and rear strut braces


Road Use:

I feel the are more firm, yet more supple to low speed bumps. you don't get that jolt on a square edge bump. On undulations you do not get bottoming or and harse end travel characteristics. I feel this setup actually is better than the OEM setup.


Track Use:

On the track there is a slight amount more body roll compared to the dedicated track setups out there. (I am running the recommended (Std) springs). but in saying that i still feel that the amount of roll is not counter to the handling performance. it does not nose dive in a corner and get tail happy either.

I feel if you want a high performance coilover for the street and track, this is the best setup as you get a car that is quick on the track, yet supple on the road that wont have you looking for a kidney belt!

I use Muellized JICs (with a track set up) on my daily driver. They work extremely well both on the street and on the track. Yes the ride is more firm than stock, but has the same character as stock. The faster you go the better it gets.

With the Muellerized set-up, I didn't need to buy all the weird bracing. This left me with less weight and more money to spend on tires and track days :-)

Remember to think seriously about you goals and budget.
