I wanted to purchase coilovers. anyone here tried yellow speed coilovers? heard they sell if for less than $1k. any reviews about the brand? I wanna know if its worth a try.

never heard of them, but if your under at a 1k budget just get some BC

Stance/BC for around a grand.

Save up more. Coilovers that cost less than 1k are usually not as good as a good shock/spring combo. Budget coilovers are usually Taiwanese junk with bad valving and worse quality control. If you want handling, Koni yellows and Swifts will likely outperform cheap coilovers. The only reason to buy $1k coilovers is to be able to drop it beyond what springs would allow (but then you get into suspension geometry issues). BC would be the best option if you absolutely have to buy cheap coilovers. I'd buy a set of used KWs and have them rebuilt if it were me.

Check out Stance GR+....they're running out of inventory of them since they are discontinued and replaced with the new SS+. You might be able to get a good deal on them, MSRP is only like 1300.

I havent even started to get into the suspension on my car as of yet, but I will tell you the guys on the forum are the ****. I would listen to what everyone is telling you.....

Just purchased some stance. I did a lot of searching and reviewing before I purchased them. I don't track my car so stance fit my bill perfectly. For daily rode use and to go low Stance is a great choice for 1k. But if your looking to track KWv3's are the way to go. I will probably sell my Stances down the road and try out some KWv3s later. talk to the guys at THMotorsports - Nissan 370Z Forum and they will give you the best deal on some Stance SS around.

I have never even heard of Yellow Speed

There is about 5 decent type of Coils for around 1000.00

Stance if you want to go low.
