Default Coilover choices..What would you pick.

So im gonna be ordering coilovers real soon and im still a bit undecided on what ones i want.

Id like to keep it around the $1000 mark.

Right now my options ive looked at were

1) H & R Coilovers

2) Progress Cs1

3) D2 Rs Coiolvers

4) Tein Basics

What would you pick out of those 4 and are there any others in the price range you would suggest.



And yes ive searched and read on them but i decided to put them all in one thread.

Best ones from those 4 are the H&R and the Progress. The progress are abit more but they are great. And they are both on a long waiting list.

Lol he clearly said he wanted to stay under the 1k mark. Get the H&R's, they are a fantastic company and produce excellent suspension products. Even if you could afford the SSP's there are better coilovers out there. The KW variant 2's and the B&G coilovers are more to loook at.

Absolutely! KW V2s rock for sure. Built quality, and handling is awesome for sure.

ive got the B&G coilovers...good stuff, ride is comfortable, drop looks good, too bad they lack pillowball mounts (camber plates) for the fronts...i really did wish they had them. heheh but the price on the B&G are a bit higher than your $1000 budget, i got mine for $1284 and the MSRP is around $1500 or something.

Paul would you know if KW has the Variant 3's out for the TC? Apparently KillerTc.com sells them for $1300. I also checked the KW website and they don't hav them listed. But I know sometimes those sites are slow to update.

No V3 for the KWs. I just got an updated list from them last week. Sorry.

We are actually a tad below the MAP for the Scion app because we love the community!
