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!

Part of me wants to be a smart-***, but if all you care about it stiffness, then just look at all of the choices you have under $1200 and pick the set with the highest spring rates. If you want good handling, then that's another story.

PBM or Stance. If you want stiff stiff as i hear go with PBM they are well under your budget, 1,000 pick up at SD

If you want a super stiff setup we can do a custom kit for you with a higher rate and matched valving.

Just shoot us a PM and we can get you taken care of

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.

PBM's get my vote; that's a g and and get thicker sway bars

ahhh! where is PBM website?

ok now my mind is between stance, megans, & pbm... are the pbm fully adjustable? who has a pic of them on their car?

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.

I have the Megan Racing Street LP Series for the Supra TT on my SC and I love them. I keep them on the middle setting and it's not too bouncy and not too stiff. I hear BCR's and Stance are really good as well.

i'm in the market for coils too. general consensus seems to lean toward stance or pbm. which of the two goes lower? is camber adjusted on the coilover or on the car to a point before needing a camber kit?
