Default Best coilovers for stance? (around $900 or under)

So i just bought a ‘91 LS400, eventually wanna have a nice stance car, not scraping on flat ground type stance, but about as low as you can go before that. What coilovers would you guys recommend? And like said in title max i could pay is around $900

any full sleeved coilovers will get to what you described: megan, BC racing, maxpeedingrod, etc...quality varies along with price. you can go full slam or even a mild drop with full adjustable coilovers.

i was able to get brand new BC racing coilvers for around $700 but that was years ago. not sure where the market are today for these types coilovers.

Does megan have UCF10 coils? Or are the UCF20’s interchangable? i can’t find any on there

I have a 99 LS400, I installed BC BR type coilovers in July, 2021. Having driven on them about 3000 miles I can say they are the best bang for your buck. They are set to about 1.5 inches lower than stock and a 24/32 on the dampening adjustment. Very nice ride and can take corners significantly faster/more stable than the stock couch suspension. Any lower than 1.5 inches you will start to run into tire rub on cornering, hitting undercarriage components over speed bumps, etc. Those cars you see where the fender is tucked under the wheel either have air suspension or are scraping going over flat ground. Don't be one of those guys. Heres a picture. Just imagine the dented fender isn't there.

I don't like lowered cars but yours seems close enough to stock where it aint bad. Even the dented fender isn't too bad. But, I'm trying to imagine that rust spot isn't there. Those little rust spots are what kills cars, they keep getting bigger and worse. Mine is covered right now. (it's gotta go)

i believe megan marketed their coils as 90-00 LS400. my BC coils were meant for 90-94 LS400 but it fit my 97 just fine.
