Best buck for the bang coilovers?

SGJB135i · 06-23-2013, 12:20 AM

Hey guys, im looking to my new coilovers. Im not looking to spend more than 1200$. Ive heard good things about bc racing coilovers and megan coilovers. Im mainly looking to go reallllly low, and im not going to track the car either. Unless someone else can direct me to something that fits me. Please let me know any feedback, thank you!

If you are just looking for low the get whatever. I had BC on my Evo and they are really just for looks. The ride was terrible. But they are cheap. For just a bit more you could get some fortune auto coil overs that are pretty decent.

ST coils you won't be able to tire. Assuming the spring specs are the same as my v1s

I second these, except get the extreme low ones. Or whatever they are called. Shorter spring, shock body, and shockshaft.

KWs are the most popular coils for our cars. I picked up my V1s for less than $1200. Supposedly ST coils are the same just not as rust resistant. You can go way lower than I'd want to go with standard KWs.

ST are nice and they are exactly like the KW1 except being as rust resistant.
