Default Any South OC SCs w/ coilovers?

Can I get a quick ride? You can try my setup too. I have Tanabe Sustec Pro Fives, but I'm wondering how other setups feel.

coilovers is the best bet. you can stiffen to soften all you want. it's the drivers preference

i'm currently pretty ok with my tanabe coilovers, but i'm wondering how much better more expensive setups tein cst or hks hipermax ride and if it's worth it to upgrade. heck, sometimes cheaper setups like megan or stance might even ride better... usually it ends up coming down to how well the valving matches the application.

i dont think stance is cheap, id say at least one step up from megan...though i have megan. It rides nice, but spring rates are low.

yeah, that would definitely help! a lot of people seem pretty satisfied w/ stance so i wouldn't mind getting a ride in a stance car. where in oc are you? i'm usually in mission viejo.

i just meant cheap(er) in comparison with tein cst and hks hipermax. you're right, they're not "cheap," heh. i've heard stances are pretty good and megan has also really tightened up their quality control.
