    Best for it's price might be TDMI on this forum and a good brand would be BC coilover at 2JRacing

    If you Read a little, BC is praised here by many. $1000 from 2j-racing.com custom valved.

    Tdmi are $730, which would be an ok cheap alternative.

    I've riden in BC 6k coilovers, and 9k, as well as 8k tdmi, and BCs were a much more comfy ride

    More importantly, the ksports break near the mount and I'm not sure if they ever got that totally fixed.

    So just imagine driving at 60 mph and you lose your suspension.

    check the stickied pages in the suspension area....all setups are compared there including prices and opinions

    and yes k sport is a coin flip, some ppl use them for yrs and yrs no problems....others theyre a nightmare.. my luck theyd be a night mare


    imo: go with either nismo, tein, bc

    all great setups

    joe is great to deal with and makes up custom set ups for his clients,
    these are not off the self setups
    mine allow a much lower look with full travel compared to the teins

    i cannot knock teins ether, superb and reliable, i used tein basics for years

    koni yellows and stock or proline springs works too
    imo

    those are the only ones [besides stock] i have tried

    If your going for best bang for your buck i would get the tdm imports but if you can manage a couple hundred more get the bc coilovers you wont go wrong with those. im in the process of buying some 8k f/b bc from 2j. Ive had tein basic and tein ss, they are great coilovers but tend to be a little stiff and bouncy. I would stay away from ksports, and if you are on a real tight buget find some megans or koni yellow on some springs. good luck with your decsion.
