Default opinions!? coils.

Considering this is my DD vehicle i want to do a little something diff this summer. i wanna be lower without any fender mods, and changing my rims and tires.
Currently I'm on the F-sport rims 19 x 8 (225/40R19), 19 x 9 (255/35R19), with the f-sport shocks and springs. I'm been looking at a couple of coils but don't really know of any in particular to my liking (keeping in mind i want the best Bang for my buck, without sacrificing to much $$$), this will be my first set, EVER! help would greatly be appreciated.

+1 for Megan ez coilovers.
Rides smooth for the price.

BC coils I think are better though if you can pay a little more

If you want the OEM comfort with adjustability, I think Megan EZ is the best way to go.

Since you said that you don't want to do fender work and you want to keep your wheels tells me that you are not planning on going too low. EZs are pretty soft so it is not the best route if you want to go really low but probably the best coils for the money if you want ride comfort. They ride like stock, possibly even more comfortable than stock.

Just start with what your budget is for the suspension, and we can work from there.

If you can afford it, go with BC and choose a spring rate of 12/10 rather than the out of box 10/8. This will allow you to go lower in the future with more aggressive wheels resulting in less rubbing. I had Megan LP coilovers and while they were good, the spring rates were way too soft, not to mention their customer service sucks! BC is just a better option and worth the extra money...
