Default Best/lowest coilovers?

I'm looking into buying coilovers. Something under like $800 and STIFF but not too stiff. Wanna go really low. What coilovers will go low but stay under my budget?

buddyclub n+ are great... they aren't the stiffest but they can get fairly stiff and still ride nice. not to mention you can lay frame with them if you wanted

500 series coil-overs by Fortune auto. $999 but by far the best for that much.

There are a set of bilsteins within your price range for sale in the market place. Dude is located in marrietta (however you spell it) for 750 I believe. Should drop you low enough.

I'm in a giving mood.

if you going to trash the suspension on your car anyway just cut the spring - that way you'll have money left over when your axles fall out, your suspension joints are torn apart, your car crashes and your forced to buy another car because no one wants to ride with you.

uhhhh what? There's plenty of cars running setups like what's mentioned in this thread, without experiencing what you've mentioned.


Ksport or Fortune Auto will suit your needs. Ksport is more affordable though and there's usually less wait time. Let me know if you need more info or pricing.
