Well, I will finally have enough money in a couple weeks to get some coilovers. But that means it is time to make the decision. So my original plan was to get some Tein Type Flex's. But after talking with some people, I have heard they are a little cheap compared to others. So now I am kind of lookling into Silk Road. I am looking around the $1500 range, plus or minus a little. My roommate has Hypermax II's, but that is just a little too much now. I was wondering what everybody's opinion was. And maybe some advice for what to get.

I say go for Stance coilovers. They are a bit more, but not by much and should be a lot better than the ones you are looking at.

I've heard stance coilovers are pretty good. Haven't ridden in any cars with them, but that's the route I plan on going. They have four models out right now, the GR Basics, GR+, GR+ Pro, and the GR+ Threes. Most that I've seen have been going for the GR+s and I haven't seen anyone complaining really. Here is there website so you can check them out. http://stance-usa.com/

Stance GR+ PRO's seem really good.-Im aiming for Stance GR basics right now or Megans

with the stance you could get RUCA's (which you will need) with the money left over

other choices-JIC Magic FLT A-1-SIlk Road-Tein Type Flex... their not crap..what you heard was probably hear-say

**edit***I thought All of Stance Coilovers were cheeper than SilkRoads?

Silk Roads are 1600, the Stances are all cheeper (except the Threes). I forgot to say I was looking at them too. I know all the price wise, I was wondering about quality and performance wise.

KTS is good as well, but be prepared to take care of them.

Man paddy, I wish I was as tight as you and could get those. Maybe I will use a hook-up and get them for "dirt cheap." Or get a deal like those evo wheels. It was a steal.
