I'm making this thread, to hear what people have to review about their low-budget coilovers (under $1000) and of no big make brands too. Just post up your experiences that you have had with the low-budget coilovers and if they are worth the money. Such as: Ebay coilovers, C8SPORT, Godspeed, MEGAN, and so on.

This exists already.

There are also coilover reviews in the "parts review" section of the 240sx tech pages.

It depends on what you are doing with the car. Are you just driving the car daily or for track use?? Low budget and good coils usually don't mix well.

Chassis: RPS13
Coilover Manufacture: Tanabe Sustec Pro
Price: Way too much might as well get a Lamborghini lol.
Review: Rides good very stiff though. Don't think they make these anymore.

This. Cliff notes. They aren't bad for short term but they will not last long. Search the other threads, yes theres been a few, where biggie posted the pic of his friends god speed, think it was GS not 100% sure, where the coil literally fell apart.

Stay with the higher end cheaper coils. Megans, Fortune Auto, etc. Those are proven to be good preformers.
