Please explain. The Stance coils are going into a price range with the Tein Comfort Sports, which have an optional adjustable damper system. I read up on the Stance coils, and aside from their two highest-tier coils, none have a remote adjust system.

you didn't explain....

Do you mean an extender for the damper adjustment ****? Because Megan sells those too...

Or do you mean a remote RESERVOIR, which are typically only found on double and triple adjustable dampers, which i've never seen or heard of on an LS aside from one, specific, very rare, and extremely expensive application.

I'm rolling on BC's on my ucf10. They ride great I would recommend them. My friend has PBM's on his sc300 and they ride pretty smooth... so I would recommend either of those 2. I'm not sure about megan or any other coilovers

i love the custom spring rates and the smooth dampening on my BC's i got two weeks ago
i got pretty much the stiffest springs they come and have the extreme lows about full height and rides dreamy for how low it sits. i can go over bumps i would shart my pants going over with any other coilovers and not even notice much bounce. so if you want out of the box lowering and simplicity go with megan. if you want a custom setup for your liking and needs get one of the upper teir companies.

Well, from what I read on here, everyone goes with BC if you just want to lower your car a bit. PBM on the other hand seems to be good as well, but is used more often with people who want to go stupid low with their cars and PBM's coilovers apparently have a problem with the lower mounts wearing out quickly(?), as pointed out by SuicidnS13. Stance coilovers don't seem to be covered in this thread and are a more expensive option anyhow. My advice would be to go BC Racing but then again, I have no idea how they'll be on your car. As far as I'm aware, they're a hit with the LS community
