Flatout Suspension Coilovers

Flatout Suspension coilovers are for drivers who care about how the car settles into a corner, not just where it sits in the driveway. These are height-adjustable, rebuildable coilover kits built around monotube or inverted dampers, with hardware that’s meant to survive real miles and real weather. Set them up right and you get cleaner body control, more consistent grip, and a ride that doesn’t feel like the suspension is “giving up” mid-corner.

If you’re coming from tired factory struts, the biggest difference is control. Less float on the highway. Less extra motion after bumps. More confidence when you turn in and commit, especially on uneven pavement or rougher surfaces.

Find the Right Flatout Coilovers

Flatout’s strength is balance. You can run them as a daily-friendly setup with sensible height, good travel, and damping that keeps the car composed over broken roads. Or you can bias the setup toward rough-surface speed, where travel and durability matter more than a low ride height.

What you’ll feel behind the wheel depends on where you land with ride height and damping:

  • Ride height changes geometry and travel. Go too low and you lose bump travel, which makes the car hit the stops sooner and feel harsh. Keep some travel and the car stays settled over real-world pavement.
  • Damping adjustment (when included) helps control how quickly the suspension moves. More rebound can tighten body motion and response, but too much can make the car skate over sharp bumps instead of sticking.
  • Hardware and corrosion resistance matter long term. If you drive in wet or salty conditions, the difference between “still adjustable next year” and “seized collars forever” is real.

Types of Flatout Suspension Coilovers

Flatout kits generally fall into a few use-case buckets. The right one depends on how you actually drive, not what looks good on paper.

  • Street-focused coilovers - Best for daily driving and spirited back-road runs. You get improved control and a more tied-down feel without turning the car into a noisy, crashy commuter. Height adjustment lets you set stance and balance while keeping enough travel for real roads.
  • Rally and gravel style setups - Built for rough pavement, gravel, and surfaces where travel and impact resistance matter. These setups are typically aimed at maintaining composure over repeated hits and keeping the tires working when the road is not smooth.
  • Off-road oriented coilovers - For lifted setups and mixed terrain. The priorities shift toward travel, clearance, and durability so the suspension can cycle without binding or overheating. Good choice when your “roads” include ruts, washboard, or uneven trails.
  • Rebuildable adjustable systems - Rebuildable dampers are a practical benefit if you keep the car long term or drive hard regularly. Instead of tossing worn shocks, you service them. If the kit includes rebound adjustment, you get more room to tune ride quality and response to match tires, wheel weight, and driving style.

How to Choose Flatout Coilovers

  1. Be honest about your use.
    Daily with occasional spirited driving wants comfort and control. Track use or rough-surface driving wants stability under heat and repeated hits. Off-road wants travel and clearance.
  2. Don’t chase the lowest ride height.
    Most “bad coilover rides” come from running too low and killing travel. Aim for a height that preserves bump travel and keeps your alignment in a workable range.
  3. Think about alignment and tire wear.
    Any time you change ride height, your alignment changes. Plan for an alignment after install, and make sure your target height won’t force you into extreme camber or toe just to get it back in spec.
  4. If you want adjustability, use it correctly.
    Rebound adjustment is useful, but it’s not a magic knob. Small changes go a long way. If you’re not planning to tune, a simpler street-oriented setup may make more sense.

FAQ

Does ride quality improve with Flatout coilovers?

It can, depending on the series and how you set them up. With the right ride height and damping, the car usually feels more controlled over bumps and less floaty at speed. If you slam the car and crank damping, it’ll ride worse. Travel and sensible adjustment matter.

How do I install Flatout Suspension coilovers?

Most kits install like a standard strut replacement: remove the factory assemblies, bolt the coilovers into the factory mounting points, then set ride height and torque everything to spec. Plan on an alignment afterward, and re-check hardware after a short break-in period.

How long do aftermarket coilovers last?

It depends on mileage, climate, and how hard they’re used. For a normal street-driven car, it’s common to see years of service before dampers feel tired. The rebuildable design is the key benefit here: when performance drops, you service them instead of replacing the whole kit.

Is it better to have stiffer or softer suspension?

Neither is “better” by default. Softer can improve grip on rough surfaces because the tire stays in contact, but it can feel slower to respond. Stiffer can feel sharper, but if it’s too stiff for the road you drive, the car will skip and lose grip. The goal is control without beating up the tire contact patch.
