Coilover Advice

I have been searching but haven't found any recent threads. I'm looking for a good everday coilover. I'm comparing tein basics, megan racing, stance gr+, f2f v2's. What is you experience with these? Pros and cons? Any other suggestions will be welcomed.

If you want a good daily coilover and want to keep a nice ride, look at the Stance LX+. I'm dropped 3" on them and they still ride smooth. Also had Tein Basics, they're only height adjustable but the ride isn't too harsh. The Megan and Basics are at the bottom end and the stance and f2f are in the middle (price wise) You have about a $500 range between the 2 sets so you'd have to determine your price before you pick the coils.

Good to know and great advice. Would you happen to have any pics of your ride on the stance lx+?

Thats a nice look. From what I have read it seems that stance is ahead of the others. How do the compare to ksport?

K-Sport is nothing but sub-par from what i've heard. Another option would be BC Racing coils, they're in your $700-$1200 price range.

i believe it's around $1200 shipped. The BC's are around $1000 shipped but you can get them a little cheaper used in the marketplace. I personally lean towards Stance, but i'm biased because i have them.

I have an aggressive wheel setup on my car now so they aren't stiff enough for me. That's the only con. If i take off my spacers, they're great.
