I want a coilover set up that can be rebuilt here in the US.

Now I'm thinking about

SPL

D2

Apexi N1

I was wondering what experiances you guys have had with these coilovers on the TRACK. Road racing is what I'll be doing mainly.

Any info would be helpful

I have not used any of those coilovers but everybody seems to like SPL.I personally use Tein HA's but I only go to the track about once a month and I drive my car on the street everyday.But all in all I think that any coilover from a reputable company that has an adjustable shock would suit your needs that way you can change the stiffness to your driving needs. just my 2 centsBut if your going for a track only car, I have heard only good things about the Apex-i N1's

damn man the apexi n1's run about $2k maybe if i can get them for $1.5k or i could go with kts plus energy suspension hyper flex kit... or should i just do the ES bushings and then buy my suspension componets like control arms and such... what do you guys think?

well when you buy most aftermarket suspension components like control arms and such they already replace the rubber bushing with a type of heim joint (sp?) so it may not be needed to buy the energy suspension kit becuase you would just be using maybe like 3 or 4 bushings (dont quote me on the number though, lol).Also remeber that most of those components are adjustable, which is the main benefit IMO, so you would have to take it to someone who knows what they are doing as far as alignments go to get the full benefit.
