Default New Megan swift series or stance gr+?

I'm looking into getting coils for my 05 350z, what do u guys think of Megan swift series or the stance gr+.
I track my car maybe once in a month, my 350 is a daily driven car also. I'm not trying to slam my car a lot but I want a good amount of drop but mostly I want better handling. Thanks.

If you want better handing , you really need to look into different brands.

Stance

At $1495 the GR+PRO w/SSD have served me well.

Handling doesn't come from Just coilovers!

Don't buy Megan anything. eBay crap that has somehow made a name for itself amongst those who don't know any better.

Stance are made for hella flush, not good handling.

In that price range, here's what we carry that I'd recommend if you want to improve handling:


Eibach Pro Street
H&R Street
Ksport Version RR
KW V1
Stance GR+ Pro
Tanabe Sustec Pro Five
Tein Flex

I'd look into either the KW or Tein Flex, as well as the Tanabe Pro Five if you're looking to hit the track. If you want to save some cash, Ksport Version RR is a good idea as well.

people might not like stance or bc but i have to say looking into suspensions setups(since drivetrain i have everything i just need to put it all on lol) they seem to be two of only a couple companys who offer double adjustable true coilover setups.

i have had megan tracks for over two years now. i beat the crap out of them all the time and they still work just as well as the day i got them which was amazing.

they are stiff and most people would say two stiff for street but thats what i wanted and i really enjoy them. very predictable and i like the dampning setting they have to offer.

i have had no issues with any megan products on my car and i dont treat them very nice.

Since when did they start having independent rebound/bump adjustments? Any coil-over that combines them into a single adjustment is nothing I want.

So if i may be so bold to ask. Which coilovers are not poop? Seems like everyone has something bad to say about any brand.

You can buy used moton, ast, and penskes in that price range, jerry. Also, KW clubsports are in that range new (V3's being even less).
