I agree on the quality products. but if you are looking to get some ride height back you might have a solution. The Japanese company MoonFace has an 8mm spacer you install between the pillow ball mount and the mounting surface to give you some extra height.

Are they really that bad compared to BC, Tein, and HKS? I had always heard good things about them from everyone that has a set
.I might end up getting a set of Tein Flex coilovers since I found a guy selling some for $800.
Any recommendations? I'm not to familiar with the European brands.
That is very true. I learned my lesson the hard way back when I was really into car audio. I'm probably going to get Teins.
Thank you
! That is exactly what I need
, they are just really expensive
. A set of two cost almost as much as my suspension...
They are on the pricey side
.
I thought spacers were usually cheaper, but I guess a cheap spacer wouldn't be that safe.

If you're gonna spend 800 bucks, don't get Teins, they're not that great either. For around 950 you can build yourself a gixxer drew setup and you can choose your own spring rates. The problem with coilovers like the megans and most teins is the valving of the dampers. They put pretty stiff springs on a damper with crappy valving, so you get a harsh ride.
The bilsteins are valved well enough that you can put up to around an 800lb spring on it without revalving it.

I'll look into it since I've been hearing about the gixxer drew setup for a while. How do you like the ride quality compared to stock.

My stock dampers were ALL blown so it rides a hell of a lot better. The handling is outstanding which is really what I was really looking for. It will be guaranteed to ride better than tein flex since the rates are only 10.6k front and 5.81k rear compared to 14k front and 8k rear for the sc400 flex, and the bilstein dampers are superior.
