Coilovers for around 1k

To what end are you trying to get coils? Are you looking for track day adjusting? or are you trying to lower your car?

just trying to lower my car, but i'm pick. i dont want to be stuck with however my car winds up settling after springs are installed. Not going to be messing with the height once its set, probably just the stiffness until i find what i like. I just want to get coils because i know in the long run, springs aren't the way to go. i'd rather spend more money on a full coilover setup, then springs+install, then once my dampers get worn out, new dampers, or eventually coilovers.

i also saw Stance GR+ have a pretty inexpensive coilover as well.

I'm currently playing with my stance a bit... right now i think I'm at almost full low on the rear, I wanna say 26 1/4 to the ground from the fender well. About the same in the front i think, was getting some rub in the front so set the dampening to full firm there, helped a little, but thats on wheel with +15 offset in the front and a stock tire..

That's the nice thing though, is that even if you aren't a "track junkie", coilovers give you the flexibility to change ride heights and dampening settings.. Coils let you get stupid low, or keep it stockish if you'd like..

Nothing wrong with doing it for looks too..

oh and pm sent on pricing
