Is there a good budget coilover?

DaWhole9 · 09-12-2022, 04:39 PM

Wondering if there is a good coilover system that has good ride quality and good build quality. Dont need huge amounts of adjustability. I see Megan, BC Racing, ECS, H&R. Looking for about 1.5" drop all around but want the same comfort as stock M Sport suspension if possible.

Why not get lowering springs if all you're looking for is a 1.5" drop?

Id love that! What springs will give me a 1.5" drop lower than the M sport suspension? H&R Sports will only give me an additional 1".

This is the stance I want.

One thing to consider... lowering springs alone put added stress and wear on the surrounding suspension components causing them to wear out sooner; ask me how I know.

Yes I am aware of the extra wear and tear a lowered cars suspension endures. YOLO. Lol.

Been running stance+ coilovers for couple of months and for the price they been very good so far. I think they where about 500bucks. Way better ride than with bc racing, imo.
