Would BC coilovers be good for a 1.5" drop?

If your just looking for a drop then any set would be fine. The BC also allow for custom rates

CXRACING coilovers.

Spring rate: 12kg/8kg

for only 629 they aren't half bad. Only thing I would do differently is get the ones with the stiffer spring rate. But other than that I can't complain too much about them. They can be a little bouncy at times and other times I feel like I'm on stock suspension. They still have a much better ride feel than the other cars that I have driven or have drove in

I have megan racing and they are wonderful for the price probably the cheapest quality coilovers out there. Great stiffness and can go really low. Megans or BC i would say would be the best budget coilovers

Has anyone ordered coilovers from the PBM website? I'm seriously looking at these but want to know how the shipping is. Just for ground they want over 70 bucks!

As far as ordering from PBM's website you'd probably get a better deal if you shopped around and ordered from a distributor. 70 dollars isnt too much for shipping, coilovers are heavy

What spring rates would you guys recommend? I don't race or drive to aggressively mostly just cruise.

I was on Ebay today and they have Cxracing coilovers with a higher Spring Rate:
Front 14kg(782 lb/in) / Rear 10kg

Would these be a good deal? They want $639.95 but I would make an offer at $600 even. I know you mentioned getting a higher spring rate which these are. Let me know because I might pick these. My Sc isn't my daily and I don't ride it hard so just looking to go a tad lower but would like a decent ride still. The roads where I drive are for the most part pretty smooth. Their is the occasional cracked pavement and waves but smooth overall.

I am looking at getting a set of coilovers...Did you get these? I was looking at the Megan LPs. My car is not a daily driver, won't go to the track, just to cruise...

Thanks,
Gee
