Best bang for buck Coilovers
I wanna get some coilovers for my X but I dont really have a lot of money to spend on them, I could get springs but I want performance too not just looks, so what are some cheap coilovers that are good for the money

if you're on a budget and want performance and looks then get some performance minded springs: GTWorx, Swift sport, or Swift spec r

otherwise you need to spend 1700+

best bang for the buck and coilovers don't go together. when it comes to coilovers, you get what you pay for. the more you pay the better they will be and visa versa

I agree. It would be better to just get some quality springs. I got H&R springs and love them.

Are you going to mainly be doing street driving?

Agree with all of the above, sounds like springs are the better choice for you.

As tested 500,000 times they show less than 5% deformation. So they beat the crap out of them to ensure they perform for you.
