Debating on whether either one of these would be a good purchase.
Would be used occasionally to drag and drift, mainly street.

Let me know what you think of these coilovers.
Thanks

 

You are boosted.. spend a little more on better quality parts. I'm going to have to say neither...

KW Variants, HKS Hipermaxes, Zeals, Teins.. etc you get my vibe, are worth the extra money.

 

hmm okay.
if i was going to spend some bank would get JIC's i think...

 

If you're looking for budget coilovers, what about Tein, Stance, or BC's?

 

your opinion would surely change if you actually drove a set on the roads

they are absolutely obnoxious for street use

 

If the coilovers are going to be used mainly for street, the Megans are surprisingly pretty good for the price. They also allow for a lot of ride adjustment if you like dropping your car. I would recommend looking for a low mileage set that usually runs in the $500 range since a lot of people are afraid to buy the Megan name on this part. Anyways, good luck.

 

thanks

yeah i will look into megans.
ive heard good things about them on 240's

attack coilovers?
stance?

ill look into these.

 

How about SMA Coilovers ?
Of course, SMA is not the brand name anybody ever heard about it in US.
But their quality has been proved in S. Korea and we are bring them over here.
Theri quality is somewhat close or even better than TEIN MonoFlex but the price is amazingly low.
We are taking pre-orders now for mid May arrivals.

 

sorry when i dont know or here about a product hard to buy it.
$750 and id do it.

I'm on K-Sport control pros. They are only for street use, I don't track or anything crazy. They get the job done for me, which is to have an adjustable stiffness/height. I'm not too sure how they'd do for tracking/drifting, but I've had absolutely no problems with them yet and the price was definitely right.

 

are they noisy?
i would get the ksport drift coils.

 

I was given a set by the Manufactuer at their request for the purpose of generating a review.They are awfull, horribly underdamped, especially in the front. I extensively tested them on all the damper settings, at no point at any setting, could they be called ideal or acceptable. I refused to pawn them off on another owner until I purchased softer front springs and tested them. They now belong to another owner who is happy with the softer front spring setup.

 

Not to be cruel, but when you don't know because you haven't done the right research and or your trusting the opinion's of the wrong people, you end up asking about the wrong products. Like,........K-sport, Megan, Attack.


Define your goals
Budget?
What do you want out of your new suspension?
What do you plan on doing with the car that might be important to know suspension wise?
Ride height, how much drop do you want?
Do you have any brands you do not like?
Brands you do like?

 

Goals, some drag, little drifting, mainly street.
dont care about budget really would go up to 2k or less, the less the better obviously.
dont want noisy...
want about 1-1.5 inch drop

what are the best routes to go....?
i absoulutely know nothing about coils...
people liked megans on their 240...i had tein ss and they were good i thought...

 

Cusco Zero2

well under $2k (right @ $1600 shipped) and LIGHTYEARS better than anything mentioned so far

 

thanks ill look into them

 

Do not want to touch them with a 10000000000000000000000 yard stick.

I would rather keep it stock than run that junk.

A lot of nice options out there: KW Variants, Tanabe Pro 5s/7s if they have them, HKS Hipermax series coilovers for starters.

 

Let me clarify. At the price point that I suggested of $500, I personally don't think they are that bad for mainly street use. Paying full retail is a different story altogether though. That is a great suggestion to possibly find a softer spring for the fronts though. I never heard of anyone trying that out of the circle of drifters I know that have tried these.

 

How about the Greddy Type-S coilovers? I know Greddy is not known for their suspensions but it's not a bad setup. Since it's mostly for the street, these might work for you since they have softer spring rates. I have them on my car and they're very streetable and quiet so far. Not too expensive either. I think they'd be a bit soft for hardcore track junkies but should be okay for what you're doing.
