Default question about the best coilover for the buck.

Im looking to lower my z on 19 inch work vs-xxs. I dont really wanna spend over 1200. I have been lookin at the k-sport,D2, and Buddy Club coilovers. Does anyone have a opinion on the coilovers? also i seen that the camber is adjustable from the top of these coilvers, so would this eliminate me havin to buy a camber kit? I wanna go lower than 2 inches.

are you daily driving? im guessing so, some track??

1. ksports - decent coilover for entry level i would say, adjustability in rebound damping is weak, mroe like a high, mid and low setting, no indexing, but for street driving you can dial them in just fine....

2. NO, its not a 240sx, the Z has front SLA style suspension, to adjust camber up front, you need upper control arms.......depending on how low your drop you many not need them.....but you said "lower than" 2 inches, which means you will be out of spec for sure - you will be out of range in camber....and need upper control arms..

honestly for a daily driven Z any inexpensive upper control arm will get you into spec, so no need to get all pricey or going with anything expensive like spl or anything...

just stick with any UCA you research and decide to buy - tubular style UCA. say like megan, cusco, etc....

BC Racing coilovers will be the best bang for the buck Coilovers.
