Default Best Sc300 Coil Overs???

Got a raise! Supra TT wheels are on my shopping list to replace my '04 Acura TL wheels . I also do not feel low enough with my 1'' ibach springs. Do you fellas have any coil over suggestions? I have heard "megan" coil overs ($900) will do the trick being able to adjustably lower up to 4''! I hear TEIN is another option. What do you guys think? Any info helps!

Thanks!

ZEAL is probably the BEST coilovers for the SC300. SILKROAD are also very good

I have a set of Silkraods on my 240sx and love them but I also have a set of Stances on order for my other 240sx. I purchased my Silkroads from MA-Motorsports, I had to order though phone. Silkroad coils are hard to get replacement parts for and have to be sent outside of the US to get fixed. I'm going with Stance because replacement parts are instock and available in the US, also warranty work is done here in the US.

ZEAL is distributed by ENDLESS, and www.vividracing.com is a cerified ENDLESS distributor. You can also contact ENDLESS directly at www.endlessusa.com
ZEAL offers two different coilovers for the JZZ30, the Funtion-X and the Function-Xs, they're both pretty pricey, but definately worth every penny.

I'll have to check and see who distributes SILKROAD, and I'll have to get you more info on the SILKROADs as well.

Now as far as fitment, remember that any coilover that fits a JZA80 SUPRA will also fit the JZZ30 SOARER or the JZZ31 SC300 and the SC400. They will ALL bolt up without any modifications

Them Zeal Function-XS coilovers look promosing, if a little on the expensive side and the spring rates seem a little firm for rough streets. There are other coilovers out there too (HKS, Cusco etc.)... it all depends on what your needs are and what your budget is.

How do you rate the Cusco's? They seem a little bit more expensive than the majority of coilovers available (going by the avg price of HKS Hipermax and the like).

cusco is good stuff, pricey, but u get wut u pay for.

Usually when it comes to coilovers, u get wut u pay for. Therefor, megan, lower end tein, and all the other cheap stuff, u can expect it to stank.
