Leaning towards coilovers for my '08 IS250 RWD. All my previous cars were modded with springs/shocks,so I've got a few questions. Hoping you guys can help.
Prefer Megan Street LP coilovers, but see that D2 Racing & K Sport are all about the same price. Is any one better than the other.
Best price I've seen for all is about $900 shipped. Anyone know where I can find any better pricing?
Want to go w/18X8 ET40 wheels all around. Thats the widest the wheel is made
Will run 225x40x18 in front. What size do I run in rear so it doesnt look stupid ?
Appreciate any help you guys can give. I'm new to the japanese market, so I'm still learning. Thanks again-----LJ

I would definitely go with a different coilover than what's mentioned here if you want a bit more quality and a better ride.

BC Racing coilovers are a step above whats mentioned here for just a bit more. Compared to Megans or D2's they have better valving, better internals, bigger shock bodies, locking lower rings and a higher construction quality. For the price BC Racing coilovers can't be beat.

If you have even more to spend you could go with KW's , which have a really smooth ride and good bump control.

Or you go go in the middle and get the HKS's, which are going to be firmer than the KW's , and the CS model is more tuned for comfrot than the Hipermax III's.

Fell free to PM us with any questions on these or for prices.

why not Tein coilovers??? I gues it depends. some people just want the max drop. I was after the ride quality

Teins tend to be harsher than most other coilovers.

I have TEIN CS ride quality is alright. But if u looking for a good drop rate TEIN CS isnt the one. But if u look for ride quality then TEIN CS would be a good one to consider. I regret getting TEIN CS tho i wish i can go lower!! Unless someone want to take TEIN CS off my hand so i can get something lower~!!!

Thanks for all the help guys. Main concern is the ride. Not looking to slam the car. Just looking to get a nice stance about 1-2" lower. was considering just doing Eibachs. Had them on my last car & was very satified
Thanks again for all your help-----LJ

Eibachs are a good way to go for maximum comfort as well.

Other than Eibachs, KW's would be the next up for comfort.

It really depends on what you are looking for in a suspension and how much you have to spend.
