My setup right now is Illumina w/s-tech as we all know 2.2f & 1.8r just wondering what would be the best coilover choice for ride quality & handliing but in a decent price range....

 

Tein basic...you reuse your stock mounts. In doing this, you get OEM reliability in regards to the mounts, and you also avoid noise. I have put over 50k on my tein basics, and they still ride as good as when I first purchased them. Nice firm ride, at the recommended ride height.

 

Tein Basic, Boss Chen, Ksport, D2, and JIC. I think that's it, other than Ground Control but thats a sleeve type.

If you want comfort, Tein Basic are the softest, but you lose adjustability..

Search around you'll find a lot...

Ha, I didn't want to say it...

 

TEIN BASICS FTW

 

thats Hot ^^^

JSutter

Light used Ksport

 

IT looks like im thinking about TEIN basic or K Sport......what should I do?

 

Out of those 2, go with Basics but dont slam the ride.

 

Agreed....

 

seriously??? 50k on ur TEIN Basics coilovers?? That seriously changes my mind

 

Tein > Ksport 24/7/365

 

Comin from the Ksport man? :\ Haha.

Ive heard good things about Tein, especially the close-to-stock ride, Id choose them.

 

Well back in the day KSports were so inexpensive it wasnt funny, you can go lower with Ksports and have more overall adjustments with them. The built in camber plates are also a plus. The only bad thing is that the shock blow on a regular. Tein seems like it has a better track record although many more KSport systems are being sold.

 

It also depends on where you live. People who live in warm weather where it doesn't ever snow and use coilovers shouldn't have as many problems as people that live where it does snow.

 

Not cheap, but Progress Coilovers are another option..... I like mine a lot.

 

on the Progress/Cattman or Tein or Boss Chen as they all can use the stock upper mount

 

^^^ which gen cattmans are you 2 running?

 

Gen 3's here. Most popular. Think I heard like 25 or 50 total set's moved a year ago.

 

d2 are pretty comfortable both of my friends have them and they ride very smooth and one has a 4in drop and the other has 3

 

Are the Gen3's the most recent units? I remember someone here complaining about theirs although I've had no problems with mine..

 

Pretty much it.

I suggest Ksport.

 

Ksports - ive seen alot of them for sale already that are blown....

that makes me wanna think about them twice.

I live in MA so it gets quite cold up here, i dont know if that has to do with getting coilovers, but im thinking either Tein Basics over Ksports

 

It looks like im goin 2 go with da Tein Basics but how low can I slam it....

 

Didn't know there were generations for the progress coilovers. I bought mine about two years ago. What generation does that make me? Also, what are the differences between generations?? TIA

 

1st gen Cattmans are modified AGX struts, from an Eclipse I think, with cattman camber plates and Progress sleeves and springs. Im pretty sure these are 1st gen.



The newest ones are a traditional coilover setup, all silver with blueish springs.

BTW Id stick with my setup over any mentioned.

 

Go with JIC's. Trust me, Aggressive handling, and comfy. JIC A2's. Thats what I got on my max now.

 

Thanks for the pic, and explanation. Learn something new everyday. Mine look just like what you linked ^^^^
