Now i have heard little about form and function...does any1 have any experience with that??
if you want the lowest drop you won't have the most comfort because you will need to set your coils quite stiff in order not to rub, for lowest drop stance GR+ will get you there
if you want to track get some ohlins or some hks hypermax 3
plus you do realize that at one point being so low is actually not functional and so seeing how all coilovers have at LEAST a decent drop which is fully functional it wouldn't really matter which drops the lowest if you want performance
and like the guys said in here stop trying to cheap out, get quality parts camber kits: cusco, spc, spl

Stance's won't be bad for a track day, especially if your car isn't very modded and if you aren't doing serious tracking. But if you want track coils, that is a completely different list...

@konzeptionz- what dont you like about your megans?? (curious)
also guys what do you guys think of stance coils?? ive heard a lot of good about them...
My beef with the Megan coils is that they don't ride low enough for me. I should have bought the F&F II coils so I could be able to slam my car without popping a collar. Also, my Megan coils have recently started to squeak in the rear when my suspension adjusts while I drive. It is kind of annoying actually.

Other then that, I like the way my Megans ride and I like the fact it doesn't use the factory spring bucket.

But I would still go with another brand, such as BC, Stances, or F&F II any day.

Edit: I honestly wish I had done a bit more research before I bought my coils. I came from a Honda where you could just buy something and it would work, but that is not the case with this car. I didn't even know Stances and BC's existed until after I had bought my coils and they were sitting in my garage.

So if I were you, I would take the time to read the forum and heed everyone's advice. There are lots of people who have good set ups for what they want, whether it be slammed like Dre or for some performance like Fab and Jairen.

i have stances, they're not all what they're hyped up to be

yea they'll drop you to the ground.....but ride quality sucks

ride quality look at hks 3's ~ $1900, ohlins ~ $3200, kw, bilstein etc....

low/unfunctional - stance, f&f, bc

OP you can find the BC coils cheaper, especially from the vendors on the forum. I got packaged with a GTspec FSB all for 1k shipped (so really my BCs only cost me $800 brand new). I think RAVSPEC was the vendor. I daily drive on my BC coilovers and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mild performance coilover with good drop and good daily drivability.

no that's not it, what is it, is the fact that this SAME topic has been discussed PLENTY of times yet you fail at searching the plethora of threads on here


in the end it's like this, after having researching all of this you wouldn't NEED to ask what the limits are as you would see them first hand
the fact that you ask already tells me that you haven't done any research on it
