dude...coilovers are adjustable...so you can slam on any of those...

I am on D2 coilovers, and I like them...Be warned though, these are not for making your car ride awesome, they are for stiffening up the suspension for handling and looks... when my car is jacked up my wheels only droop about 1/2 inch, so you can imagine the ride with that little suspension travel..This isn't to say that coils are always going to make your car ride poorly, but they will likely be stiff.


Some people on the boards have had Ksports, and I believe only kasimmm and myself have had the D2s. The BC coils are gaining popularity, and I would have purchased them if I hadn't got a great deal on mine. From the reviews I read they can be set to levels that rival the stock suspension. You may want to try boost and destroy for the BCs, and be sure to call to get quotes, they are usually much better than the listed internet price.

You can adjust the dampening on the coilovers and order custom spring rates if you really want comfort, but with a soft ride you are likely to rub if you are really going to slam your car.

like i said. try boost and destroy for the BCs. and you can't be "slammed" without rubbing.

my car is in winter mode, and undergoing some changes right now, so I have no current pics, but this was back in august..I can stand a credit card up against the lowest point of the frame, and I scrape the lowest part of the exhaust a lot. in this pic i was tucking about 1/4 inch of tire front and rear.

no no...you can get this drop with any of those coilovers..and if you call them, they will give you better prices..I believe I was quoted at around 850 shipped..

once again these coilovers are adjustable. they can be raised to probably near stock height and lowered beyond drivability. any of these coilovers can slam your car, but i really think that the BCs have better quality..and are what i plan to buy when these die. you should really call around these places to get their bottom dollar quotes. and Ksports and D2s are pretty much the same thing, just different colors and maybe spring rates, while BCs look to be slightly different and perhaps better quality.

I think you should do more research before you buy. Coilovers aren't something you want to buy just on a whim, there is a lot of adjustability to play with...

second BC Racing coilovers... should have gone straight to these instead of lowering springs. try www.importimageracing.com... boost and destroy actually get their coilovers from them. import image racing order direct from BC Racing... but if you get a better price from boost and destroy, then they are a good choice. However, their customer service is not the best, so be wary if you end up with any problems down the line.

When I was in the market for coilovers, I decided to go with BC out of all of the above choices because of the spring rates offered. They ride pretty nice at full soft and can really slam to the ground. I ordered mine from Mike @ doubledownmotorsports.com

Good luck
Rick
