Default Coilovers

Thinking about a few coilovers but still undecided. My choices are:

Revel
BC
Function and form
Tein flex Z
D2

any thoughts or experiences on any of these? They will be for a 2016 200t which I believe are the same as the 250/350 and before the fork change over on the 2017+.

My car was the first 3IS to have Revel Coil overs. Car rides similar to being in Super Sport Mode. Only Con i have is that they go really low and max height sitting for the rear is about a finger gap.

So the initial drop at max height is that low... wow. Did you do a side by side comparison of the coils vs factory? Do you any pics currently?

Just the rear max height is that low. These coilovers are designed for the people who want to be slammed. I don't have a side by side comparison but I have some pics on my IG: is_3fiddy

We can get you a good price on the Revel, BC, and RSR.

We carry Tein and D2 as well.

Anyone tried or have reviews for ST Suspensions XTA Coilover Kit. I've had ST Suspension coilovers on my Mini Cooper S and it was AMAZING!!! They are the sister company to KW Suspension. Do any of the forum vendors carry this brand? I've also been looking into the Greddy and KW Coilovers as well.

Can you quote me a price on all but the RSR? I believe those are on the pricey side.

I am also looking for coilovers for a Base IS300 AWD. I noticed on the Tein website that the Flex Z does not work with the AWD model, can someone confirm this? The other system I was looking at was the RSR Sport-I however this is on the pricier side. Anyone have any mid-priced recommendations for a base IS model with height adjustability?

TEINS are not for AWD. And I don't think REVEL released AWD either. For AWD I'de go RSR, but if only BC is in your budget then that answers the question ..

According to their website and Coiloverdepot...they only make coilovers for the RWD. They do have the two different fronts for RWD also.

Godspeed and RSR make for the AWD: https://coiloverdepot.com/collection..._type=Coilover
