I'm looking to order some coilovers for my 2000 lexus gs300, kind of on a budget so looking for the best bang for my buck so to speak!! lol

anyone using megan,k sport or d2 coilovers, are they any good??

or what do you guys suggested?? pictures would be helpfull too,

thanks

 

Megans are probably the most affordable and get the job done. A lot of people have them

 

If you are on a budget, wont' be tracking, need to go low, then any of those coilovers will do the job. They will be the best 'bang for the buck' because they'll all do what you need them to do at the lowest price possible.

 

Check out BC racing coilovers.

 

I have D2's but they are custom and cost roughly $1600 to replicate. But they are pretty darn good for track use though.

 

I'm looking to buy some too. still undecided myself....

 

thanks for the replies guy yeah i wont be tracking it, just my daily driver.

 

If you are considering a "budget" coilover you should really consider looking into the BC Racing coilovers.

Compared to most others, BCR coilovers have bigger internals, beefier shock bodies, locking lower rings (so the height adjustment rings don't work loose), and a better damping curve. They end up being a lot more compliant over rough surfaces. And they tend to last longer.

Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.

Bigger internals means more surface area for the shim stacks and valves, which leads to a smoother ride and better tuning of damping. The larger shock bodies means more room for the internals and a stiffer cartirdge, which means it will hold up to much more abuse. The BCR coilovers also come with a coarser thread, so you can adjust ride height easier and quickly.

Feel free to PM us with any inquiries or for a good deal on a set I have personally run BCR's on 3 of my vehicles and the CMS STi runs a BCR ER series.



Also FYI - Pillowball bearings will provide a more direct and solid feeling in your suspension but they will also make the ride a bit more harsh and transfer more noise and vibration. A lot of Lexus owners like erring on the side of comfort. So BCR provides the option of pillowball OR rubber mounts.

 

+ 1 for BC coils

 

i like my megans...at full stiff

 

By lobbing out a question like "I want coilovers, what do you guys think" without qualification you're going to get answers like this. I think CircuitMS or Figs give good advice when they recommend BRC, they're a fantastic all around coilover. Actually, they're made by the same folks that make Megan, D2, and lots of other coilovers but have improved/refined them for daily use.

 

I have just installed HSD coilovers and am very impressed with them, the ride is very nice..just my 2c.

 

I am going with Tanabe coils with a TEAS installed over the TEIN CS with EDFC.

 

but man hearing from lot of ppl bc racing coils don't go low enough... what's the deal.. they slam or no...???
