I installed them yesterday and im not really impressed and i used to have stechs before. I think i just need to play with adjustments a little more.

 

You've got to be kidding.

 

i <3 the HKS coils, i should have done more tweeking but the way i had them they were beautiful.

i wish i saved the extra dough to get the Zeals tho

 

No seriously. I dumped them as low as they can go and ride is so rough now. Oh and let me tell you about rears. Those are pita to adjust and i had to use my oem top mount.

 

LOL thats why you dont dump them

if you want coilovers just to go low get the F2's or D2s or some like that

JICs/HKS/Zeals/SSPs arent for dumping

thats why i switched from H&R (which could go low) to HKS because they have more potential to maximize handling

raise them up a bit and tweak the dampening and you'll be impressed by them

 

Dibs on your coilovers!!! hahahaha.

 

lol

 

well... first of all, what is the OP's budget limit. there are a bunch of ideas being thrown around, but he failed to mention his budget. your budget will let you determine if you can go for the good ones or not.

 

Yeah that's very true. It sounds as if his budget is around the 800 level, if he is trying to keep KSports on the list, because of price.

 

i would hold off till you can get the higher quality coil overs before dumping what ever money on shtty ksports lol

 

do you guys switch to stock suspension when it comes winter time? Or do you leave your coilovers on all year round?

 

and how come H&R's are not on the list... i might have missed something. I had those and loved them.

 

progress cs1 ftw

 

now i dont know what to get... had H&R's and loved them. But I want more adjustable mounts.

 

The ride SHOULD be much rougher the lower you go. if not, you have junk for springs. If rate is not significantly higher with a drop, you may think you have a good set of nice riding springs, but you have really killed the handling of the car. S-techs suck for handling hands down. Way too low and way too soft.

 

Does height matter on JIC coilovers? I used bracket to adjust height and I haven't been messing with springs yet. It looks like shocks and spring aren't affected at any height. I might be wrong. I raised my car up to Trd level and set dampening on softest. It got a little better but still bumpy.

 

I too am looking to see which coilovers to get once the time come. Im starting my research early. I dont want to go insanely low just want to get a nice low stance on 17" wheels and want to have a excellent handling car. so i would like coilovers with dampening adjustment and camber plates. Price range would like to be kept around $1000-$1300. Let me know what you guys suggest.

My thoughts soo far were D2, Tein Basics and Progress.

 

IMHPO:

Progress, H&R or KW. Not in that order either.

 

now im stuck between H&R or Progress..... I know I will be doing autocross next season.

 

Ill be going with custom made Progress Long Beach Edition Coilovers.. These things are sweet..!!!!!
