Thats the flaw on the basics. They don't let you adjust the stiffness. For that, I feel they are over priced.
really??? I thought you could..


Hmm then in that case.. the BCs would be better..

also the MEgan Street Coil Overs are pretty good..

Yeah, if a coilover is going to run 900 it should include damping adjustability. But if you can find them for like 500 (which I've seen before) that is the way to go if you plan on adjusting your ride height in the future.

BC racing

Tein basic (even though they wont let you change the stiffness. It's preset)

Megan coils (relabeled bc racing coils, Status looks down upon these but I like the bc's and if megan are just relabeld, I don't see the harm)

stance (if you can shell out a little extra)

eibach (no adjustibility in dampening)

tanabe (i forgot which model but the cheapest one. you can't slam these. some spring might drop you lower than these)

Hey Noauh,
Get the NF210 the ride quality is similar to OEM, it will get rid of the gap, and will do its job for a daily driver no problem.

Megans are relabeled BC's. Megan hardly makes their own stuff.

A used set of tein basics and occasionally a set of bc's

The Tein Comfort SPorts are the VIP cars Coils..

they always take the springs out and Throw in AIR RIDE..

they run for $1600 - $2000 ( Just COils)

and its another $1500 for Air Ride..

but the ride quality is so much better than the regular Sports Coil Overs

i did mention powdercoating varies on color/#coats/and final clear. with that being said i said the same thing when i got the quote. you guys can get "glance" at the work when i get it done. no one was more skeptical about this price than me. but as he explained it made more sense.
