AdjustableCoilover Systems
Coilovers replace your factory strut assembly and springs with a fully adjustable unit — giving you independent control over ride height, damping force, and in some cases, camber. We install BC Racing, KW Variant 1/2/3, Fortune Auto 500, and ST Suspension coilovers with proper spring rate selection and damping configuration for your vehicle and driving style.
Coilover Tiers
We match coilover quality to your actual use case. A daily driver doesn't need KW V3 Clubsport, and a track car shouldn't run eBay coilovers.
Street / Daily
BC Racing BR Series or ST Suspension coilovers — 30-click damping, adjustable height, steel monotube construction. The best balance of comfort, adjustability, and value for daily-driven cars on Dallas-Fort Worth streets.
Street Performance
KW Variant 1/2 or BC Racing DS/ER — aluminum monotube construction, independent compression and rebound adjustment, pillow ball upper mounts for camber control. For enthusiasts who attend car meets and spirited drives.
Track / Competition
KW V3 Clubsport, Fortune Auto 500, or MCS (Motion Control Suspension) — fully dual-adjustable, remote reservoirs, race-grade valving. For dedicated track cars or street cars that see regular HPDE events at MSR Houston or Eagles Canyon Raceway.
The Metroplex Advantage
Why Choose
Metroplex?
We don't just install coilovers at whatever height looks good — we set ride height for proper suspension geometry, configure damping for your driving style, and align to corrected specifications. An improperly setup coilover is worse than stock suspension.
Proper Height Setting
We set coilover height for optimal suspension geometry — not just 'slammed.' Too low collapses suspension travel and bottoms out on every bump. We find the sweet spot between stance and functionality.
Damping Configuration
We dial initial damping settings based on your daily driving vs. spirited driving ratio. We also teach you what the clicks mean so you can dial it in for different conditions — comfort for I-35 commuting, firm for canyon runs.
Corner Balancing Available
For track-oriented builds, we corner-balance using scales to equalize weight distribution across all four corners. This eliminates the handling bias that comes from asymmetric weight distribution.
Coilover damping clicks aren't arbitrary — they control the speed at which the piston moves through oil inside the shock body. Softer settings (more clicks) let the piston move faster, absorbing bumps quickly but allowing more body movement. Firmer settings restrict piston speed, controlling body roll but transmitting more road imperfections. We set daily drivers at 8–12 clicks from full firm (out of 30) — enough control for spirited driving without the kidney-jarring stiffness of full-firm track settings.
The Process
Platform Assessment
We inspect your current suspension, discuss your daily vs. performance usage split, and recommend the right coilover tier for your platform.
Installation
Full strut-and-spring assembly replacement with coilovers. Upper mounts, dust boots, and bump stops replaced or adapted. All hardware torqued to OE spec.
Height & Damping Setup
Ride height set for optimal geometry and clearance. Damping clicks configured for your driving split. Equal left-right height for even handling.
Alignment & Coaching
Hunter HawkEye alignment with camber correction. We walk you through damping adjustment so you can fine-tune for different driving conditions.
Avoid These Pitfalls
Common Mistakes We Fix
Coilovers are a serious suspension component — these are the installation mistakes we correct most often.
Setting Too Low for Daily Use
Slamming coilovers to minimum height collapses suspension travel. The car bottoms out on speed bumps, expansion joints, and Dallas-Fort Worth potholes. We set height for proper geometry — not just Instagram stance.
Unequal Left-Right Height
Coilovers adjusted to different heights left vs. right create handling bias — the car pulls to one side under braking. We measure and set equal left-right heights with a ride height gauge for balanced handling.
eBay Coilovers That Leak in Months
Budget coilovers use inferior rod seals and body coatings that corrode and leak within 10,000 miles — especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth salt and brine environment during winter ice events. BC Racing, KW, and Fortune Auto use proper corrosion-resistant construction.
Running Full-Firm Damping on Street
Full-firm damping transfers every road imperfection directly to the chassis. On Dallas-Fort Worth streets with expansion joints, patches, and construction cuts, this creates a miserable and potentially unsafe ride. We dial damping for real-world conditions.
