Default Looking At Coilovers But ??? (Poll)

So I am in the market for a coilover setup. But I have heard mixed things about the setups in my price range. No sure which ones will be the best bang for my buck and the LEAST bouncy.

BC BR Series
Stance GR's
Megan LP's
K-Sport Kontrol Pro

Anything else is just to expensive right now so I am just looking for input from ppl running setups listed

out of your list i would go with BC racing coilovers with the high spring rates and custom valving, next would be stance. i wouldn't use the others.

i am on PBM's now and i love the raw feel they give being so stiff they are by far the least 'bouncy'

bouncy is subjective as the above mentioned units have separate spring load adjustment so you can actually just about dial it out the mix .. i have megan lp for last 4 yrs and have no bounce whatsoever ..

Really ? I read a few post that the megans can get a bit boucy, they are the more afordable ones for me. But I just want a smooth low ride. Had the Espiler springs before and do not want that kinda ride again

BC-R

megans are on the softer side.

bc is adjustable spring rates so you can get as stiff as u want.

I'd go with Stance or PBM. I'm on Megan EZ Streets, and they aren't bouncy at all, but a little to soft for me.

I'd say BC. Great price, great ride, can go low, and you can get custom spring rates. I'm ordering myself a set with 18k/12k spring rates

My recommendation - BC Racing kit with Swift springs.

Best bang for the buck for that price segment.
