Default The Best Coilovers for a SC

I heard the tein ha's are good. How is stance,megan,ksport and hks? I currently have bc racing coilovers and there good but wanted to know which rides the best/soft i guess stock feel too it and not some hard suspension that when you go over a pothole you feel that **** hard i dip when i see them but some you can't avoid or should i just get some springs

I have Megan's. It came with the car when I bought it. I can tell you that they suck. If you're looking for a coilover that has A LOT of suspension travel under load and soft as a *****, then buy Megan coilovers. I HATE them. Thinking of upgrading.

Also, I occasionally drift my Sc at the track and I have a BUNCH of body roll on the hardest setting along with stiffer springs.

I like my teins alot, I could barely notice the difference in stiffnessfrom stock. now my car drives more like my moms infiniti fx (non sport package) stiffness wise, maybe even not quite as stiff as that.

Best coilovers on our cars? K&Ws, straight up race-proven stuff. If its good enough on Porsche race cars, then its good enough for our cars

What he said. If I had the $2500 these would be the only coilovers I would run.

I had powered by max coilovers on my SC. Spring rates are higher than the other brands on the market but they are comfortable enough to daily drive

KW's would be the most comfortable with a mild drop.

Your sig pic is sex

You have alot of options in coilovers, do some searching and read up on reviews. This topic is very debatable and everyone has a different opinion it seems.
