I been searching and reading about pros and cons on coilovers and many has argued in zilvia.net that ksport/D2 are bad coilovers and im sorry if this has already been talked about in here but I've heard that the Megan Coilovers are worth the buy or the Basic tein coilovers and etc.

I cant afford anything more then $1000 so my option is limited and I just want something that will lower my silvia with no technical problem or what so ever with the coilovers. Not too bouncy !

Hit me up, thanks!

megans are also made in taiwanpart of tein is done by kyb

if you just want to lower it get some nice springs/shocks. i personally wouldnt get anything under 1k. 1100-1500 would get you some pretty nice stuff.

ive driven on the kts betas and ill say its a comfortable ride compared to a lot of others ive tried. but i never had a chance to smash on em or play around with the settings so i cant say theyre that great yet. other guys have said its good though.

See what you can pick up a set of JIC FLT-A1US for. That's probably what I'd buy in that price range.

If you hop over to Zilvia, you'll see a great review of the Megan coilovers.. Id prolly grab them if that was my budget.. otherwise, id save for some Teins

if you're willing to pay up over 1000, I say get some Silk Roads... otherwise, go with the Megan Racing ones, I say.

be careful i believe some of the tiens if not all of the older ones used that green paint is known to rust but they changed to a nun rust paint now. on that budget i would personally just get kyb agx with springs and ull have left over money for your "turbo fund" as i like to call it.

KTS from splparts, just put them on my wifes car. They're quite nice. No more nose dive in hard braking! And the cornering is awesome.
