Hey Guys

My friend wanted me to ask you guys for your recommendations on a set of coilovers for his 94 GT, we figured this would be the right place to ask as you guys have them on your cars so know what you are talking about, all that seems to be available here in the shops in Ireland are tein super streets or k sport coilovers. Every shop he goes to try to sell him the tein ss, they dont seem to know anthing about suspension.

I have read all the posts in the suspension forum but could only find mention about megan coilovers

We have read bad things about the tein ones being more for track use. The roads here in Ireland where we live are terrible and the stock suspension is a bit cruel on your back as it is. So he is looking for a comfortable set of coilovers that wont break your back over bumps, preferably with at least a 40-60 mil drop.

I've read about the Tein Comfort series ones but the overall opinion is that they are overpriced and you are only paying for the name. He tried lowering it with just springs before but the rubbing was unbearable as the roads everywhere are uneven so he went back to stock so naturally now he wants to do the drop properly on a set of coilovers

He was quoted 1000 euro for a set of the super streets/k sports so his budget would be around that figure not including fitting if that helps!

Thanks in advance for any replies

megan has really good adjustability, height, damper, camber. I've tried softest to hardest setting and it feels softer than stock all the way to very stiff for track use.
