Anyone used ST XA coilovers e86 3.0si?

Are your rear subtotals correct in the middle-right-hand table? Perhaps the rear top mounts have not been included in the calculation?

Yes, you are correct. Added those later and forgot (and as I already bought them no more real impact on the money yet to spend... ). Sharp eye!

Updated sheet added.

Updated my comparison Excel

• Added droplinks to the ST options as according to the website it looks they are not included.
• Added ST X and ST XA into the overview, and hopefully added/removed the correct generic parts needed to fit them.

Of course, you can get the generic hardware for better price on Autodoc etc, but these savings will transfer over most of the options, so the difference will remain the same.

Looking at this, my thoughts are:

• Either go with the Eibach/Bilstein B4 or ST X option as the more ‘affordable’ option, as price difference isn't that massive. The ST X might be a better quality solution, but maybe a bit too hard for daily use.
• Or go for the ST XTA with the adjustable top mounts, the ST XA after adding the the extra parts needed doesn’t seem that much of a saving.

And apologies for bothering you with all these contemplations, it helps me organise my thoughts. And maybe it helps some others!

nice sheet..

noticed for the ST setups you dont have plates, pads or bump stops. I get the top plates but dont you still need pads and bump stops or do they come with the kit?

I believe that the kits come with those parts included, and the STA also with (adjustable) top mounts.
