coilovers in the $1200 under range
im looking to buy coilovers before i buy myself some wheels and i keep finding so many mixed reviews on the "cheaper" coilovers i am looking at. (ive searched but it seems everyone wants that soft dd feeling for their cars and i dont)
i am not going to track my sc400 nor am i going to be drifting it as its an automatic. but i do miss the stiffness of my old s13. im pretty unsure about what to buy because i know our cars weigh like 1k more than a s13 and spring rates would be effected esp by a thousand pounds.
so for the price i want something that is rather stiff over comfort, i like to bounce and hit my head on the headliner when i cross over streets or hit bumps on the highway haha. i just like the feeling of my car being stiff.
so whats the best for my price range of $1200? tein ss(i like the edfc & theres a rebuild center in GA now!), stance gr+, megan(which ones), ksport(hear bad stuff), orr powered by max.
thanks in advance to anyone who has any helpful reviews or info.
about a month or 2 after these coilovers im getting 18x9.5 all around with 15+offsets and im sure any coilover will make them look good!!! exciting!

i guess i will take back what i said. i want my car to handle very well but it doesnt bother me if the coilover is stiff.
its kinda like i answering my own question..... but i really dont want to waste 1200 on something im not happy with. i see a lot of people use stance maybe thats a good thing? does anyone have any track reviews of the suspension im asking about? even though i wont be tracking my car

My Meagan's are halfway to the stiffest setting and are pretty damn stiff but still allow some float for luxury. I don't have any issues with them what so ever and I know if I want to get crazy with it, all I need to do is turn the dial and I KNOW they'll be like a straight metal rod lol.

i came from megans to stance and its a whole of a lot better its a lot "smoother" i guess you would say.
I'm on max stiffness on the stance and its still pretty damn smooth. Plus they got good service something broke call them got a replacement for free and asked for some decals and ***** and he threw some in.
