This...


I'm lookin to keep a comfortable ride, drop it on 20's till the tires just tuck. Nothin too crazy.

 

Thats exaclty what im trying to do without spending a grand lol

 

So basically... Guys- you think the BC coilovers are worth the extra money, over the Megan LP's ?

I was seriously just about to make a move on the LP's...but I don't know to do now.

The BC's ride better AND get lower, or just have stiffer spring rates...?

 

The only thing the BC's have on the LP's is the fact you can do custom spring rates. The LP's will dump lower no doubt.

 

BC coilovers ride sooo smooth! I'm running a stiff setup too becuz our roads here are effd up! Idk how smooth the Megan's are, but BR series is a great choice for $1000. IMO

 

If you want to ride slam without much rebound go for higher spring rates. I would prob do like 20k/18 or little higher.

 

What do u guys think about the ksport coilovers for around 850?

 

Nah..

Buy some new BC's like everyone is saying.

 

I am going to be getting the new brand my speed shop is bringing in for all the drifters and such....


Fortune Auto......


For the 500 series coilovers which I can get different springs on them, its 1k even......I have seen a few sets on drift cars and they have put a few sets on a few other street cars....36-way adjustable iirc~

Thanks for all the input. I think I'm going to go with the LPs.

I know everyone is suggesting BCs but I don't see enough responses to justify an additional $600-$700 bucks for a slightly better coilover.

And I havent read anything bad about the Megan coilovers so why not.

 

The only bad thing I have herd across the board for Megan coilovers is that they are super stiff even for being at the softest setting.


Also, coilovers are one of those things "you get what you pay for" and brand does mean something.


Just keep that in mind.....I was about to pull the trigger on some Megan coils for my g35 coupe, but after hearing about them being too stiff.....so I ponied up the extra 500 and got Tanbe Pro5's.

 

Where are you seeing a $600-$700 difference? LPs are usually in the $900 price range and the BCs are $1000.

 

I was under the impression BCs were in the $1500 range...

Where can I find them for a G?

And I haven't seen too many people complaining about the stiffness of the Megans.. I haven't been around too long either though so I'll take your word for it.

 

I just typed it in eBay search and came up with:

I loked them up on eBay last night and came up with nothing.

I noticed the ones they're selling for $1000 have set spring rates.

Is there any additional costs to customize spring rates? Does anyone know?
