Coilovers

Alright, so I'm after the lowdown (huehuehue) on coilovers for the FTO.
I'm definitely set on getting some and I'd like to hear everyone's experiences in regards to the best brands and types etc.
I want something that's adjustable both front AND rear, and I'd also like any information regarding any camber kits that are available for FTO...
Judge as you wish, but I'm working on something at the moment and it's on hold until I get the coilovers and camber kit...
Cheers!

Inb4 BC coilovers are the best option.

The BCs in the white car are fairly good from my initial impressions. Might need the dampening turned down a bit to make them a little more comfortable, or you could go a lower spring rate like Ben once suggested.

Had a set of Cuscos in the Smurf. Excellent set.. 9/10 would recommend.

Have used Tein HA's in Bobby .. Awesome
Cusco in Smurf ... Awesome...
G4's in Bobby were too harsh ... Did not like as much as others...
Bennoz seems to be happy with his BC's ...

You certainly can't go wrong with the price @ $1200 for a full set. Come with camber tops too.

Don't I need camber arms and/or a camber kit (?) to have fully adjustable camber on front and rear? Know where these can be sourced if they exist?

Only the front coilovers have camber adjustment. To do the rears you'll need the Megan arms. Available via the search button

If you'd like to boost my car, be my guest.
