Default Coilover System: Which One? Need Opinions

Well im debating as to which coilover suspension system to purchase. I got a great deal on Megan Racing coilovers but I dont know how those would feel on the road. Does anyone on here have these or know of someone who has. I dont want to purchase Teins, I just dont like them. D2's are alot of money. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

Tein Basics for starters. If you want more adjustability, go with either Tein Flex, HKS, or Cusco

If he had said j/k at the end would that make a difference????? Just asking


BTW I have Tanabe PRO-SOC coilovers, they are firm but not stiff, and very responsive but moderately priced at around 1G.

Yea Tein are the best right now I did some comparison shopping and searching in the forums here. That's who I'm going with.

The thing about the Tein Basic is that they're a little bouncy. I kinda wannan eliminate that little bounce. The Tein Flex eliminates that little bounce but it also adds another $800.00 on top of the $1000.00.

the Tein are bouncy? With what tire? With what height? Really broad statement to make without more specifics - lots of things determine "bounce" and ride quality.

My recommendation - the Tokico D Spec shock/spring setup, or, if you want the height adjustability of a coilover, the KW Varient 1 - IMHO (and I've experienced nearly every coilover for this car first hand at this point), the best value out there for an entry level coilover

http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ng&prodid=2046

you would be FAR better off saving a bit more for a set of V1'

The Tanabe S0C as Adrian mentioned above, are also a nice choice for a budget coilover setup
