Many thanks.

Depends what you want to get out of them!

Just a lowered car with good ride quality or better handleing with not as good ride quality

well i had megan racing full coilovers before i stored the car in storage and i know they are not the best but i was pleased with them...i am told tein is much better and able to be rebuilt as well

Re: Best tein coilovers?
 

They are better then Megan and are rebuildable. I have heard great things about the Flex system. Progress would be a better choice then the Tein's though.

I personally have KW coilovers and they are great as long as you don't want to slam the car.

Re: Best tein coilovers?
 

well i had it real low with the megans and want it back like that. what are the best if i want that slammed look?

Re: Best tein coilovers?
 

The progress are good down to 3" and have good spring rates for daily driving. They are also rebuildable and you can custom order spring rates if you don't like the standard rates they supply.

ah, don't go creating so many new threads just to get to the marketplace. it's annoying.
I was about to report you as new type scambot...

Re: Best tein coilovers?
 

I have the type flext coils in my car. They are EXTREMELY stiff, and are definitely something you have to tolerate if you DD the car. I love them really, but on rough roads it can get a bit annoying.

Re: Best tein coilovers?
 

Teins aren't actually designed to slam your car. They are a great quality coilover, but they are either designed for comfort or performance. With most Teins, if you slam a car on them, they will get bouncy, because they do not have the proper amount of shock travel, and you are hitting the bump stops.


If your goal is to just slam your car, go with Function@Form, KSport, D2, BC Racing. They are designed to slam cars.

Or if you want a higher quality setup, look at Koni/GC.....but you have to do your research, and figure out what spring rates and lengths you want, and you'll also want to run extended top hats.

I personally whent with the TIEN SS coils for my DD and the ride is a bit rough but even when they are all the way compressed there is still a slight wheel gap. As rusty said they arent designed for a slammed setup. Still agreat set of coils though.
