Which coilover system for under $1100 ?
Ok guys I'm still trying to decide between springs and coilovers. So far some people have told me to stay away from tein, but then again a lot of people have them and they love them.
So I'm wondering what do you think is the best coilover system for under $1100 ???
Please don't pick one just because you have it, If you pick it it's because you honestly, truly think it's the best by what you have heard/read, specs, experience, etc.
When voting, ask yourself this question:
If someone told me that I could get ANY OF THOSE for free, which one would
I pick based on the specs/reputation/quality/handling ?
I can't add options to the poll but I also found these for under $1100
1. D2 Racing Sports RS Coilover System
2.Megan Racing Coil-Over Dampers

The Basics are the cheapest out of all of those coils and IMO the best. Not just because i have them. If you dont need dampening adjustment then i'd say get the Basics and use the extra money for another mod. They arent too hard and arent too soft, right in the middle, they're perfect.

It doesn't really seem like you have a strong grasp on suspension and handling based on the number of questions asked, so the tein basics would be your best bet. No adjustments needed for the dampening, just height, and they are cheap enough that you can purchase camber kits for the front and rear, becasue you WILL need them.

What is the cheapest price you have heard on the Tein Basics ? I got a price of $760 shipped, does that sound GREAT, or could I get a better price you guys think?

it doesn't matter that much if you're not gonna push your suspension on the track. look for something that suits your riding comfort or sportiness. I'd say the Dspecs and a good spring will do you just fine. And if you decide to go lower than 1" with the springs you have plenty left over for camber kits.

So the reason why I want coilovers is because I don't want to get some springs and them have them lower too much and I rub. (i have 20x9 fron and 20x10 rear)

My budget is $1100 on just coil-overs, I have extra for camber kits if needed

I would still recommend basics, I don't think you'll know how to properly adjust the dampening, so why have that function. They'll do the job and are good for 80% of the people on this board looking for coilovers. You said yourself that you just don't want to drop too low so you won't rub.

Is there anyway to adjust a coilover electronically?
