Coil over help
Coil over help
looking for a Good pair of coilovers to drop my car about 2 inches i can only spend around 800 bucks any ideas on what to get?I want the best bang for my buck
also forgot to add this noob question. I cant seem to find the answer i was thinking about the tien SS coil overs with the EDFC. Does the EDFC allow you to raise the height of your car in the car?

Tein basic will fit your budget.
EDFC only adjusts the rebound settings of the shocks. EDFC is not compatible with the Basics. To get a set that works with EDFC, you'll be about double your budget (after factoring in the cost of the EDFC unit)

Oh i see.After reading the info on the EDFC since im not to car experienced i really didn't know what it meant.So how do the Tien Basics match up against the megans? Or should i buy the tanabe springs that lower me 2'' ofr now and save up and go all out on coilover later on? By the way my car when i bought it came with tokiko blue's with what im guessing is stock springs.

I was looking into these springs but i cant find to much info.I thought i can go with these espiler springs since they drop about 2 inches and save up for some hard core coil overs later on

On your budget, I would have suggested a shock/spring assembly.
For $800, you could have put together a pretty damn kick *** shock/spring combo OR have the cheapest coilovers on the market that have yielded mixed reviews from those who have purchased them on this very forum.
I would rather have a kick *** ride with dampening adjustment on a fixed drop than a very average ride with no dampening adjustment with drop flexibility.
Once you set the Basics to height, you are not going to adjust the ride anyways. And, if you do, you will be screwing with your alignment. Rather, choosing the right drop springs would offer the drop you are looking for with a significantly better ride.
I made a similar decision. I had about $1000 for suspension, and I chose to stay under budget with top of the line springs than squeak by with marginal coilovers.
However, if ride height is your primary concern, the Basics should serve you just fine.
