What Coilovers?..yeah yeah..I know..
Yeah...im looking to pick up some coilovers like now...I already did a search and read over 30 pages worth...so no roasting me...maybe I should have wrote down notes..everyone says"yes/no,you should,go with,"but,i think it's what people have said from word of mouth....not from experience...in the market for some decent to good coilovers....I have a tight budget of 600-900$...redoing my whole suspension sooo mind as well do the coilovers too....I just want to hear what people have seen and have experienced personally...I work a day shift and 3rd shift so im very very busy(loosing sleep lately too
...that I "do rely"on good personal advice on here...the days I do have off I read read read and do my R&D..so im not looking for JIC Magics, HKS etc...just some coilovers that people would tell me"im happy with them"or"don't buy them cause there fart filled"...something that rides soft/stiff and has built in pillow ball mounts...I was leaning torward Megans or K-Sports but,im hearing two sides here??...any help here with personal advice or good offers will be greatly rewarded with a fortune cookie
Ahhh snap!!

with a budget of 6-900, you don't really have much choice other than Megans...stay away from K-Sports though. For only 100-200 more, you can get yourself a nice set of Stance

You should also get daizen steering rack bushings or something similar.
I would definitely recommend Stance coilovers from personal experiance. I can get them for a little over $1000 shipped. It's something you won't regret. They are great on the street and the track.

seriously if you think your going to do all that and get a set of coilovers i seriously think your dreaming buddy. $250-$300 for ls400 calipers and rotors and brake pads if you just reuse those, $100 for ss brake lines, $150 for prothane front and rear, another $50 or so for alignment another $100 more for misc supplys you may break doing the bushings ETC.
yes you bring up a good point about not having to do an alignment twice but if you cheap out on your coilovers then they will blow even faster then a good set of coilvers will and chances are you will have to replace them anyways.
do it once do it right.
