Never heard of them. What are you trying to get out of the coil and what price you wanting to spend? I've only really considered Stance and BC maybe PBM too, never heard of Starke though.

Oh and just noticed..it's Are Starke coilovers any good? not is lol sorry grammar ****. And I would say stick to the big names that have been tried and tested on the forums...Megan, Stance, BC, K Sport, Tien, HKS..etc..not being brand myopic but just so you know what your getting based on other users experiences, and don't run into any unwanted surprises.

If Starke is made in china or Taiwan, I would stay out.. Too many unknown brands of coilover comes from there. The only one I would buy is Megans. Heck, who knows they probably are made from the same factory and just relabel them.

PBM has harsh ride, probably due to spring rates. Good for drifters and tracks, but not for DD.

General rule is if you or nobody else have ever heard of them then...you're better off elsewhere.

We usually recommend the BC Racing or Megan setups. Feel free to PM us if you'd like some help.

Is there a specific reason you choose those types of coilovers? Just in my experience those are the worst for daily, but best for budget.

Plenty of SC have BC and Megans that are daily. Most of it are good news.

I know Megan has stepped it up a bit but I would still be weary of anything other then stance, tein, bc or if you really have money Moton
