Default Which coilovers to go with? (On a budget)

Sup guys, I recently got a '96 SC300, silver w/ black interior. I have big plans for it and one of them is lowering. I've had CX Racing on my IS300 and a lot of people hate CX but I found them to be decent. There's a brand called EMUSA that has coils for $450. I am on a budget and I know you get what you pay for.. Anyone had these? Other brands you suggest? Thanks in advance!!

cx racing here 14k/10k. Car rides great, stiffness adjustments really make a difference.

I also hear CX racing coils will do the job, spring for the pillow tops. They're pretty cheap at like $700 or less. If you just want to be lower, there are many spring options. You can get lowering springs for a Supra that'll drop it about 2" all around.

EMUSA is that brand on Ebay with 4 different colors. I also wondered about it as well. A lot of guys on this forum said don't buy unknown suspension bits. I might buy some Godspeeds from depending on his PM for a price.

You can go with Megan Racing Coil Overs. I have them on my SC. They ride pretty good.

I still think the Gixxer-Drew 500/250's are great for the money but they are about a $1k budget.

Picked up a low mileage set of CXRacing coilovers, the guy who had them on his car loved how low they go, he just wanted a stiffer spring rate. Although i believe you have a choice of spring rates when ordering these now. I've seen all good reviews for them! I'll be installing them soon.
