I am buying coilovers but wanted to get the org's opinion. I am looking to buy, ksport, megan, or tein, they are all aroun the same price except tein is about 100 more.. anybody have any experience with these setups and can tell me ride quality or even your preference towards brand? anything would help!!

Use the search button.

There are PLENTY of threads about coilovers and people's opinions of them...which is all you're going to hear, lot's of people's opinions. There is NO right coilver for everyone.

Here is my opinion :

Coilovers are the best way to lower car more that 2". The best coilovers are made by Tein, which i believe have a lifetime warranty. Thats the route i wd go.

Im still debating on whether to lower or not...MASS roads are sh*t

Just to keep in mind, the Tein Basics are not adjustable for dampening.

From what I have heard, KSports are very harsh.

I just bought D2s, but have yet to install them. Good luck with your choice though!
