Coilovers and Budget shouldn't be in the same sentence or even paragraph! If you can't afford the good stuff like HKS then you'll only be wasting your $$ and acquiring a very poor quality ride. You'll also need camber adjusters front and rear along with a 4 wheel alignment so include that in your budget too!

I just got Megan coilovers last week and they seem alright so far. But then again it's my first set and have nothing to compare to. Ride is decent and price isnt too bad.

Stance GR+ can be had for around 1k and will do you just fine. GaryC loves his bilsteins and they are fantastic but you'll drop an easy 1600ish for a set.

ok kool now mdu sounds good but on ebay should i order from the guy in china or order from the us because there is a price diff. the one i see from china is 520 shipped and he's new on ebay only lil over 300 sells but rate is at 100% and the one from us is around 800 without ship for that price i can order better coilovers right! from what i see is ill prob. order from china bc they take paypal so if anything ill get my money back hopefully thanks for the complement again guys

I ordered mine from the chinese seller "racingfirst" for $520 shipped..and most of the mdu guys have..but for $200 more you can buy them from topspeed in texas and they have 6 more dampening adjustments than the china one and it'll be easier to get warranty help than trying to get it from a chinese vendor..
