Coilovers.
Hey guys, I decided I'm going to do it right the first time and just get coilovers! I've started doing some research into coilovers and from my understanding Megans,D2,and Ksports are the best choices. Now I'd like to know what you guys are running and how is the ride and how much you guys got your coilovers for! And from what website did you order them! Thanks.

You didn't research if that is what you came up with.
None of them are bad now that they're on whatever, 7th generation or some crazy thing, and they've worked out the kinks, but all of those are serious budget coilovers, none of them could be called 'the best choices' unless you're pinching pennies and not expecting a ton from the coils.
Teins and BC are the best around the $1000 mark last I checked.

I have had BC racing coilovers on my maxima for the past 10k miles and they have done nothing but impress me. The ride is stiff and yet not unbearable, they can also go lower than would ever be practical. In my research I came between BC racing and D2 coilovers but ended up choosing BC racing. For $1k shipped they are the best around.

What I meant by that statement is that those are the best choices for my budget!

The only regret is that with Teins you can get the optional module to change the stiffness without popping the hood and truck. Perfect for when you want to change it on the fly or to impress!

If you plan on doing coilovers make sure you're not on a budget. The true coilovers with dampeners will cost around $1000 plus and when you're ride is stiff it can't be comfortable unluss you're driving on the highway or Nascar race track. Any suspension on a car will work nice on a smooth road but when you hit the city and rough roads that's when you judge a cars suspension.
I see these guys with slammed cars looking all cool until the reach the construction zone, mall parking lots with high speed bumps and steap driveaways ripping off lip kits smashing rims and crapping in their pants. Coilovers was designed for tracks and off-road purposes not for road-use, we just use it there. But get something good because you'll be back in there before you know it
