not to bash on JIC, which i heard makes legit coilovers, but i just heard they're hard to come in contact with if you need your coils serviced. IMO definitely go with coils it's worth the extra money

At least they have a website. I don't see anything for Megan Racing, which is one more reason for me not to get them.

I know they have a website, but they don't have a page on servicing coils unless I missed it.

Wouldn't matter anyways. I'm skipping Megans. Can't believe I even thought of them.

I think im just going to go with some springs for now. Im thinking tanabes GF210 because i want a little firmer ride. Does anybody know the spring rates compared to the DF210. Are they the same stiffness? Which do you recommend for performance and looks?

Bilstein PSS FTW. So underrated. People figure I want adjustable dampening, I need pillowball mount uppers, I want to adjust the threaded mount for height rather then the spring perch?

All those things are good, I used to want and have all them with my TEIN Flex's on my S chassis. But it is not necessary for 99% of the GS drivers.

Are you going to track your car? Are you ever going to corner weight your car? Do you actually know how to tune your suspension through dampening adjustments along with preload in conjunction with shock body length for wieght disbo?

All these things need to be considered, and if you want to be able to do all these things for performance reason, probably want better then Megans. If you just want a good ride for spirited driving, longevity and quality, you dont need all that other stuff that drives up price on suspension.

Bilstein PSS
Sachs/Bltiz
H&R

German stuff really is very nice and reliable. I prefer an engineer decide on what valving and dampening is best to go with the springs. Shi... PSS ha 4 helper springs even. And pillow ball uppers a great for performance, but not for noise or a nice ride.

If you want all the bells and whistled, get good stuff
