if you have money, jic.
if you're on a low budget, function forms.

you must be new to this so let me explain it to you, shane is riding at about 1 inch or so off the ground, i am willing to bet that you dont have the ***** to do that. I'd say be careful with your statements unless you have previous experience. If so I would like to see that

This thread won't get you anywhere. Try doing a little bit of research and analyzing which one is best for you.

IMO, for me, the "best bang for buck" coilovers happened to be one that almost costs 2k. But that doesn't mean someone else will find those the best for the money.

i was just judging on how the car looked on shanes garage it just didnt seem that low. . I was riding about almost 1.5" off the ground on my JIC FLT's on my kouki 240. . I was just wondering on whats a good set of coilover for a G since i havent had my G for more than 2 months. i loved my JIC's but that was on my 240 i was just seeing if other people has some better suggestions.

If you go lower than Shane's current setup you might as well not have a suspension and have it literally slammed to the floor

take the advice that has been given, search around more but since you can't here you go


there is BC racing coilovers which I have, the front you can put on the floor and the rear you can take off both rings but not as low
there is Function and Forms which go pretty damn low, shane has them like you said and he can go even lower if he wants and trust me shane IS that low
JIC's are of course worth it as well as you probably know but they tend to cost more

i believe for slamming purposes those are the main coilovers that I know of, there are others like D2 or something but I don't know much about those

but please search more im sure you know that coming from a 240 forum

yea i know. . i was searching around i couldnt find anybody that wrote up about which coilovers they like the most. i did find a sticky on all kinds of coilovers and what the spring rate and etc. but that doesnt justify if they good or not or if he road on or not. but thanks for the info EURODRE.

i have bc's the bad thing about them is that you cant really slam the rears, but you can prettty much put your bumper on the ground upfront.

Well BC racing, function and forms and most teins are made in taiwan. JICs are made in Japan so if that has some value to it then there you. As to what people like it all depends on your budget. I would go with function and forms, they go pretty damn low and are relatively cheap, throw on some camber kits and you're good
