Default Coilover noobie NEED ADVICE

Didn't mean to post a new thread but I've been searching for days and didn't find what I needed, I want to get some coilovers for less than $1100 that's good for daily driving and drifting on the weekends but don't know which ones to get. Thanks in advance!

Coilovers......daily driver...something doesn't sound right here.

Megan LP's do well, they have 32 adjustments if you want stiffness/softness.

There is also the Godspeed Mono RS, I have those on my car and drive it regularly. I would go with the stance or BC for you setup if you plan on drifting.

See if d2s or bc coil over is still available for your car, also make sure you put a little grease on the adjustment threads as they will get stuck from the oxidation.

Go with Stance if you will be drifting, I have them on my SC. If you go with BC, make sure you dont go with the standard spring rates, do the upgrade to swift springs. BC are too soft out the box, even if you adjust them all the way up. I had BC on my 07 GS350, and I have them on my 03 GS300, great for daily driving.

+1 Megan LP for the price you want, good riding daily driver and lots of adjustability for track this has the balanced approach. I love them.

I have had almost all of them and they all honestly pale in comparison to HKS or Ohlins a used set of HKS is light years better than a new set of Megan.
