Default Best Coilovers

Looking to get some coilovers, definitely want a flush look
had the tein street basis and basic dampers on my mind
until i read their max.. Might as well stick with springs

I can get megan streets for 850 installed but everybody thinks theyre trash
also trying to stay within a 1300 limit

Trying to get a coilover system that can max out to really low ride heights
maybe d2?

Ebay special! fully independent height adjustable unlike those over priced and unnecessarily shiny KW/PSS/DFV/etc. None of those fancy coilovers will get you what you want. Plus, you can use whats left in your budget for camber kits and alignment.

Ebay special for life!

If you're only requirement is to be a hellaflush fanboy then get the cheapest you can afford that will drop you the lowest

Now you've made this thread even MORE useless. I fully expect a "what wheels" thread, a "is this a good offset" thread, and lasty, a "do you think these tires will work" thread.

Hahaha that was a good one
Its chill that you think lowly of me even though I was looking for facts
As I can see youve had no notable notes to help a brotha out
But one fact I did notice,
Youre a *****

Why not just cut your factory springs with a hacksaw? It's not like your car is ever gonna handle good anyway with your crappy suspension plans.

Just remove the springs and sit on the bumpstops, that will be the most low
