First a couple questions. What are you looking to gain from the coilovers? Performance for autocross (stiffer setup)? Nice street ride with increased performance and adjustability? This answers will direct you to different coilover mfg's.

here are 27 pages of reviews from my customers...

Imho its the best performing setup under 1k...and if your in FL you get next day shipping.

bc racing coilovers - Page 27 - Car Part Reviews - NASIOC


we have users winning their classes in auto-x (more then 10 individuals) yes most people just drive them daily and through hard turns. and its great for that too. provides a nice balance of comfort + improved handling. compared to the cusco zero 2 r's that were in my sti before i installed them, not much of a performance difference...for a huge difference $ wise.

If you want nice street ride then don't get coilovers... they have a harsh ride because they are made to keep the car stiff in high cornering. Get some springs.


If you really do want to spent the money though I suggest BC as well

your biased LD with your 10/8 stiffer setup....you dont have as much "softness" left in them on the 8-6k setup you have the top 12-10 settings for a nice smooth ride.

could always get 7/5k...
