DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR!!! Call Pete at Intense Motorsports!! Tell him I sent you.....I just bought Stance LX coilovers for just a hair over the price of K Sport. Im sure theres a thread for it on here as well. But regardless, Intensepower.com. I paid 920 cash for the things. HUGE. The price may vary a bit as Ive done a bit of work there recently and I paid cash and picked em up, but still.... hit them up. Stance is good stuff.

Stance, TEIN, KW, Bilstein...I'm sure they all vary in price but these are most of the brands that people are running, at least on this forum

D2, Ksport, BC.. for me they were all waste of time and $$. probably good for someone who's more into playing with car height than actual cornering performance.

plus they dont last long, D2 and Ksport are well known for its short life, BC (also known as is Megan Racing in US) a bit better in that sense but still was waste of time for me. damping was way too soft, pillow ball bearing worn out and started making unbearable noise after a few weeks. Those cheap weak damper - stiff spring coilovers will give you the illusion of better cornering because of its spring stiffness, but in reality they hurt more than help, I liked my stock suspension's performance better than BC (magan) racing one, even though stock had more body roll.

this is my personal preference so do not flame me because you've got one of those i mentioned above and are happy with them.

Im running tein mono flex now and its doing me a good job, trouble free and far better damping.

I also wanted to save some $$ on coilovers years back but I should've gone with tein in the first place, in fact i wasted $$ than saving because I ended up buying/selling cheap sets...
