Default Need finding coilover under $1000

What up guys. Im looking to lower my Sc about 1.5 to 2.0. I've got 19"s and want the tire about half inch under the fender. Im looking for a good coilover with a desent ride for under $1000. I might go over $100 or 2, but would prefer to stay under a G. Any suggestions?

Best bet on finding some nice coilovers under 1k is to just browse the classfieds on here. People sell their used ones for cheap sometimes and you can get a pretty good deal.

If you want brand new, Tein makes Super Street Coilovers for I think around $950? I know KSports and Megan Racing coilovers both are under a grand.

Good Luck!

Do any of these come with the adjustable camber plate? Im putting 19x8.5 +35F and 19x10 +35R. Maybe something with a deeper offset in the rear.

Ive run megan coilovers on several cars for years now and know tons of other people that have too. They are almost literally the best bang for buck you can get, especially if you dont plan to go that low.

Save some of your money for another mod youve been wanting to do.

Can someone tell me anything about BC Racing BR Series coilovers. Are they any good. Or the Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers, is those are any good. And will I be able to lower my car atleast 1 1/2 - 2".

Why are people saying megan EZs cant go low? I literally had my car on the ground and could go even lower if the ground didnt stop me lol... They are definitly not super stiff so if you are slammed you will bottom out on certain bumps but then again they're only $600

Yea I dont mind my Megans at all. I dont want a rock hard ride and the height adjustability is as good as any. Some people dont want a slammed bone jarring ride. That doesnt make coilovers 'suck' especially not for $600.

I recommend PBM, stance, or BC's. In your case though, BC might be your best bet. considering you're not wanting to go that low.

I have ksports on mine but its way too soft for this car, they were great on my scion xb though.
Bc coils are very much more quality versus my ksport, installed a set on an FRS and there was a big difference. BC was very well built. its 995 shipped from a vendor called circuit motorsports here i believe.

and for anyone interested heres my car improperly maxed out in the rear, and the fronts as low as i can go with a 225/40/18. by improperly i mean that i pulled off all the collars, raised the lower mount all the way up, and sagged the spring all the way down, so i do not have any preload on the spring. will be sold soon for PBM's.
