Help with Coilovers.. tein SS, D2 RS, others??
looking at getting a set of coilovers.. I have been contemplating getting the Tein SS's for a while now, but recently i have been introduced to D2 RS's (or Ksports).. I did a search, but i could only find posts about the D2's from last year... From what i read, they are a Taiwanese brand that is comparable to the Tein flex... basically im just looking for some members to ring in with more current first hand experience with them... Im in the ~1000 range, also is there anything else in that market thats good??? Thanks in advance...

yah im pretty set on the SS's... but from what i read and hear.. that megan coils are also a very viable option.. anyone for Megan's... And i know there is a lot of hearsay about them concerning lower quality internals... But can ppl ring in about first hand experiences.. thanks

When I was looking at suspension, these were the coilovers that I was intending to purchase. If you are looking for something ultra-sporty, the H&R is not suggested. The spring rates are hardly driftable. But, if you are looking for something daily driver friendly, I would suggest them.

thanks guys... yah, im still on the fence, it seems that everyone seems to like there own coils very much... i dont know about the H&R though bliz, i think i might eventually do some drifting.. So many options, but i still have the SS's in the lead by a lil... but the D2's and Meg's are still in running...

I used to have a set of Kei-Office coilovers... on a daily driver you might as well have solid bars welded onto the chassis and control arms.
I'm currently looking at a few coilovers as well since I want to drop my ride height ever so slightly. Looking at the JIC FLT-FAS (supposedly nice ride, even with the stiff spring rates - F:18kg, R:10kg... and cheapest), Tein Comfort Sport (supposed to be nice too - F:10kg, R: 6kg... kinda sounds a little soft?)
I've ridden in a car with Ksports in them, and while they're not bad, they're quite stiff. Tein SS seems a lot smoother (near OEM) unless you have it slammed on it's guts (the ride is rough as guts at that height).
