Coilovers (PIC)

I currently have Tanabe GF210 springs on the car and the ride is great, had em for about 2 years now, my only complaint is that the rear is a little higher than the front, and that drives me nuts! After researching a bit I've decided that the only way to get the look that I want is to get coilovers. I want a bit of a tucked look with an even drop, front and back.

What are some good coilovers for everyday use and not too expensive?

Here is what the the car looks like.

^ ok sounds good, i'll look for them. do you think adjusting the camber a bit more negative could get the rear down a little?

well adjusting camber will wear tires, i dont think you want that...noone likes a premature anything .....as far as i know any set of coils will give you the stance you want with a good ride...megans are def most affordable..look in forsales for used coils.

Megans are made by BC. Both are entry level coilovers so you're gonna get poopooed by people for buying them.

Camber doesn't wear tires like toe... and when you change the camber you change the toe.

With coilovers, you install them, get the ride height and look you want (camber), then go get aligned and don't mess with them. Every time you change the ride height or camber you need to get realigned.

For everyday use, why not research other brands than what has been offered so far. Here is a link to help explain the difference between twin tube and monotube coilovers for daily driving use (which is what it sounds like your are looking for)

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ogID=411612170

The cost on Endura-Tech coilovers is around $1580 for the EVO's. You get what you pay for in the quality, durability and performance of these.

Check with AMS or Speed Element in the vendor section for them. They both carry them in the line up.

Good luck with you decision.

I just installed the Skunk 2 Pro C coilovers. They are a little stiff but they the quality apears to be top-notch. I'm going to test them on the track in a couple weeks. I got a great deal from Chris @ No Limit.

Here is the link to their thread. It looks like they have a set left:
