i'm riding on a set of K sport Kontrol coilovers on my car in the summer, and siezed/****ed up tein HA's in the winter.

the K sports are the best bang for buck IMO. fully adjustable, and great confort, and cheap too. replacement parts are cheap and easy to come by as well if you ever need anyway

I to0, have K Sports; they hold up well, they were cheap and ride a bit harsher than stock (depends on your height). Now, if you will be using your car on the track, I would recommend Stance coilovers. If you will use your car here and there at the track, K Sports are the best bang for the buck.

teins are ****, i'll NEVER buy another product of thiers again.

the Ksports i have, Brandon, go fairly low, no idea on your tire size/profiles, but i'm about 2.5" away from laying frame rail on the ground in the summer and i'm not down all the way, but my overall tire height is smaller than stock, so that might play a bit of an affect.


best bang for buck would be Ksport or HSD, heard LOTS of good stuff about them

i have Jic's i just picked up. The wife has slight back issues but they ride nice since she isn't complaining. Ksport was our next choice but these came up cheap first.

I've been riding on BC Racing coilovers for over 2 years now and absolutely love them. The ride is very comfortable and can be lowered down to the ground. Plus their customer service is second to none! I had a problem with 1 of my coilovers after the warranty period and they sent me replacement parts from overseas at no cost.
