^let me help u guys most cheap coilovers people are buying no days are crap. even the springs on the jic's are supposed to be crap. there are a lot of threads about how certain types of springs are. i know u proabably have heard it before, but search for the types of coils u r looking for. preferable google "company name" coil over review. Also prepare to get ur on. people r not gonna like this

I will put my Tanabe Sustec SO-C Type II's up agaist any 15 to 32 way adjustable coilovers on any track.

Reasons are , most people dont know what the **** to do with all that adjustability , and most people find the stiffest crap , or setting they can get and their car feels / handles like hell.

^i was reading up on the autox suspension threads and i saw the links to the program for the suspension tuning. and i dont really get it so much yet cause i keep reading broken bits about it i can find. do u have tht program? and also i was thinkin of running stance pro gr's i think their called. you heard anything about em? I orginally thought the mid range jics but i hear they are just overpriced and the same as everything else.

Everone seems to have a hardon for Stance , i drove in two 240's that had them and i was not impressed at all. BUT , both drivers were somewhat new to coilovers and suspension tuning , really didnt know what settings were good , and both cars were bone stock. The only info i can give you from those two experiences is that both cars were very bouncy , and didnt corner very flat at all. One would pitch and dive horrible into a corner and bounce like mad.
