Well the car will most likely see one HPDE per year in Indiana. Maybe some auto cross. Mainly the car will be a street car. I blew the stock motor and currently building it and will have a single turbo on it. Currently suspension mods are BMR upper and lowers, relocation brackets, Panhard bar, and front and rear sway bars. Thanks for all the advise.
Hmm....OK. What year is your car? I don't see mention of that.
How experienced an HPDE driver are you? One event per year isn't really enough to gain a lot of experience (and, thus, speed on the track). If you're relatively new at it (or a rank beginner, for that matter) then your brakes will probably do fine as long as you use the right pads and fluid. But once you get faster, your brakes won't hold up. And if you're already experienced, then your brakes
definitely won't hold up.
Moreover, since you're putting a turbo on the car, your car will probably have cooling issues on the track unless you take engine cooling
very seriously. The stock Coyote motor already runs rather warm oil temps even with the Boss oil cooler (yes, yes, some might joke that it's an oil "heater", but
20K BTUs worth of oil cooling at idle is nothing to sneeze at).
So, based on the above, I'd have to recommend putting the money into springs and dampers. Since it's mainly going to be a daily driver, the next logical question is: how much do you want to lower it relative to stock? If it's by more than about an inch, then you'll want to stay away from the Koni dampers, which would make either Bilsteins or coilovers your only real options in that case.
If you're lowering an inch or less, then which dampers are on the table depends on the spring rates you choose. The STR.T dampers, inexpensive as they may be, are almost certainly going to be a poor choice if your spring rates are at the higher end of the range (250 lb/in or so up front, I'd guess), while the Koni Yellows can be adjusted to account for the spring rate. The Bilsteins that Vorshlag sells are already intended for midrange rates, so despite the fact that they're not adjustable, they'll work well.
For daily driving, I simply can't say whether the Konis will prove more comfortable than the Bilsteins or vice versa. The Bilsteins add a substantial amount of spring rate on their own because of the high-pressure nitrogen charge, while the Konis don't, but the damping in the Bilsteins might be better for comfort (discussions on various forums don't result in a clear picture on that front). Both brands have their supporters. The Konis
are adjustable in rebound, so they may well prove more comfortable when dialed back than the Bilsteins. I have the Koni Yellows myself, and can tell you that their damping is worlds better than that of the stock dampers, so they will certainly not be a bad choice at all as long as you don't lower the car more than about an inch.
Until/unless you get very serious about competing, I honestly don't expect there will be much of a difference between the various damper choices presented above, as long as you stay within the limitations of the damper (for the STR.T, that means relatively low spring rates, something like 250 lb/in or less up front is my guess,
and an inch or less of lowering. For the Koni Yellows, it'll damp anything less than about 425 lb/in up front, and again the amount you lower has to be about an inch or less. The Bilsteins will properly damp any of the springs you can select on Vorshlag's site for the product, and there's no real limit on lowering, but they'll eat your entire budget. Then again, Vorshlag's Bilstein kit gets you everything: dampers, springs, and camber plates. And their service is excellent.
So in the end, I think it's going to depend on how much you want to lower the car. An inch or less, and I'd go with the Koni Yellows if I were thinking I might ever conceivably do some serious autocrossing and/or HPDE (because of the flexibility that being able to adjust the rebound affords), or the STR.Ts if I weren't (and use the money saved for something else). More than an inch, and it would be the Vorshlag Bilstein kit for sure.
