MDU for ~ $500 is one of the cheapest options out there. However there are a lot of coilovers that are better, just more expensive. If it were me I would save a little more and go with the BC or Function and Form for under $1000.

Remember you usually get what you pay for.

kinda hard to fix the front camber, if ur going to be dropped more than 2 inches.. might just better be getting your toe in spec.you can do rears, im dropped close to 2 inches in the rear and my camber really isnt bad.. they are wearing down pretty even.

^^ I don't believe he's dropped on OEM Z springs. If I recall correctly it's a mix of after market Z springs - front and rear.

I also just got a sedan and I'm looking for more low so Im looking forward to the responses. More low is more better. I swear everytime I look at my car it's a little higher.

correct, im on z struts, but im dropped on 350z eibach sportlines in the front (i think its a 2.6inch drop) and 350z tein springs in the rear (its like 2.xish inch drop) it still rides very good, i love it.

good information here:
official-coilover-quick-review-thread
I'm leaning towards Stance LX's, or BC.. Still researching though, trying to keep it around $1k and keep the wife and new baby happy as well (can't be too stiff/bouncy)

If you're looking at the Stance LX you might consider the Tanabe Pro 5 coils. They don't offer as much of a drop as the Stance set but have an infinitely more comfortable ride. I paid less than $1200 new for them through a vendor on here.

Apexi ExV is a quality coilover for a good price, put them on a lot of G's and everyone loves them, they last and have a long-standing company to back them up warranty wise too.
pm me if you're interested I've got a brand new set for sale for $1100 shipped.
