best drift coilover for a low budget
right now im running tenabo pro series coilovers and they are a really great street coilover, but i feel like i need something stiffer for drift. just a little too much body roll for me. my friend is running tein basic and are much stiffer than mine so i was looking for stiffness over anything... so if anyone has any ideas what to move onto, that would be great. thanks guys

Re: (adrians_s13)
As much as i love to read/hear that cuz my friend and I always go at it with these two coilovers, I'd have to say they are not that much different. I cannot say for the Track series tho. I've only experienced streets. But those and the KTS are very close in performance. But i guess megans win cuz of price.adrians_s13 wrote:megans are cheaper... and from what i heard, better

Anti-sway bars help with body roll.

Re: (DRFT(kinda))
well my issue is just a little too much body roll. and since my car is my daily driver, i was thinkin of putting money into anti-sway bars and other suspension components... or do you guys think i should just start over with a stiffer coilover, i just hate to spend the money on another set of coilovers again

Not yet. I'm working on replacing my blown turbo. They are in they box as soon as the turbo problem gets fixed I need to pick up some 5 lug rotors so I can finish my 5 lug conversion. A friend of mine has the K-sports on his FC3S (second gen RX-7) and they ride quite nice and are nice and stiff for teh drifts.

You like them but they're not on ur car yet? how can you say they are bad ***? And saying they are based on another car doesn't mean anything. Ksports for a subaru RS come with rear camber plates and that IS "b/a". But do they come that way for the 240? no. I haven't heard anything good out of Ksport other than they are cheap. Megans are only a 100 bux more and are much better.
I'd say try to find a buyer while you still have urs on, and if they sell for a decent price, use that towards new coilovers. Getting some super big stiffer sway bars with your soft coilovers wont be as good as you think. At least if you do, get adjustable sway bars to soften them up to match the soft coils.

I'm pretty sure those coilover set are great. My wife actually asked if I wanted a set of those Ksports for my car. I'm hoping she will buy them for me for my b-day.
