Default Under $2000 coiloversfor drift,which would u recommend?

Right now im looking at the D2 drift spec coilovers and spend the rest on other suspension parts,camber, sways etc

What coilovers do you drifters rock these days? If your experience with them is excellent, please let me know!

coilovers are the most important part of your suspension and isn't where you should cheap out with d2's. go with stance or part shop max.

^those are good too

my best opinion is get some that is true coilover's (strut and spring are not seperated on rear), so you can drop it low and fix that nasty toe

cant go wrong with some stance gr's

/shrug. I run H&R; I'm far from professional and my car is geared more towards AutoX, but I can't complain about them. I also run SPL fronts and stillen rear arms.

^ powered by max is the name of their website

They just came out with coils for the 350z but have had coils for the 240 for a little bit and the 240 guys like them.

I have stance true coils with spc camber arms and like them but I think guys will bs going with powered by max products in the near future.

I think you should be fine with BC, Stance, fortune auto, or part shop max there all very affordable and leauges better than D2. The max are a little more expensive at about 1500 I believe and more geared towards track use with stiffer springrates but could still be used daily no problem its just preference.I'd recommend true style and getting toe and rear camber arms with the rest of the money.

Paid 1100 for my Stance Gr+ three years ago and they're still running strong, car still handles great.

I think I'll go with PSM coilovers for my next set just to try something different.

but they do come with swift springs, which are worth $400 alone. they should make daily diving just fine.

This ^^^^^^ !!!
I got my Stance GR+ True Coils for 1100 shipped.
You might need front camber arms.
Don't forget the rear camber arms.
That'll be about ~550 shipped. I've seen deals with vendors.

Then get toe arms to get rid of that ugly spring bucket.
Said and done homie.

Got the same set up. Love it.
I haven't drifted / autox / or tracked yet.
