coilover kits Options

[eboz74]

im shopping around and trying to find a good one piece kit but trying to spend a max of 750 would it be easier to just just buy coilovers and god struts or just save more and get a good one piece kit? I know there are some good coilovers out here but which would be better

Megans if you want to take the cheap way out.

Teins if you want a decent coilover kit.


Springs and struts - depends on how low you want to go. Tein S-tech on GR2 shocks looks awesome. Tanabe springs will get you lower.

based on many discussions throughout the forums, and many pluses for the megans. Megans have more adjustability, cheaper, better spring rates, and last longer. Teins do not even come with pillowball mounts basically an incomplete coilover kit that reuses stock top mounts unless you pay again extra on top of it. I've also compared these features vs my friends teins, and mine is better by feel mostly and everything else. I remember asking him, why is your suspension so soft, and he mentioned, dude that is the hardest setting. By opinion Megan>Tein (specifically Basics model). I do not know what defines higher end coilovers with just the fact of price, all other considered high end specs Megans offer. But really all coilovers are not created equally just like any other product. Even the same model one might last 1 day another might last 2 years, who knows? So not to be bias, fundamentally pick the one that suits your needs and gain product experience from them.

Still, there is a saying that there are things that are "bang for your buck"
