you don't need true style they will be softer spring rates, something you don't want

once you go into true coilovers it means you know what you're doing and most of the people running them do not, if you wish to get those kind of custom settings like the stimulation you need to take about a few days to search the internet and then search again because i can almost guarantee you will screw it up so take it easy


those are the bc's

yes, tein basics are the worst coilovers known to man.. even cut springs have more prestige than basics

Here's a break down:

Cusco upper A arms: 300 used on the forum
Battle Version rear camber arm: 150 new from friend that won them at a raffle
Battle Version rear toe arm: 250 (at the time, now 175..guess Alex decided to lower his prices to be more competitive)
Coilovers: Stance GR+ used on forums 900
Stiffer springs for rear from Stance: 80
Modifiying upper A arm to get an additional degree of adjustment: Approx 50-100 (got hooked up and several things were done)

Total = Almost $1,800. Does not include installation of coilovers, all camber arms, toe arms, and alignment. That'll put it over 2k for sure. If new, you're looking at probably another 500 or so more.

If you're not going to run more than -4 camber in the rear, stick to OEM coilovers (spring separate). As Dre mentioned, the true type will have a softer spring rate in the rear and is only really needed if you need to run toe arms. With approx -4 camber you just need rear camber arms and toe bolts.

As for the K-sport coilovers....those, bc racing, stance, megan, and maybe a few others are very similar. Just different colors, spring rates, preloads, height adjustment and dampening.

like I said stance gr+ for the same price and stiffer spring rates
needs spacers all around. Not enough poke

Yes, removing the collars will help you gain some extra lowering space, bout half an inch I'm gonna guess.
