KTS Coilovers - $1100

Megan Racing Coilovers - $900

Nismo S-tunes - $700 (non adjustable)

or AGX's with what springs?? $450 + springs

I am a little sketchy about buying the S-tunes because I am afraid that they are going to turn out to be "sportier suspension" and not stiff enough and not much of a drop at all. I'm kind of sketchy about getting the MR's because isnt megan racing another mass producer of tuning parts, like the next step up from SSA? KTS sound good but I'd rather not spend $1100 = ( Arent AGX's and RSR springs very well matched? I'd like those but the RSR's only drop the car like an inch from what I hear, I'd really like to drop it 2" if possible...

What do you think?? I really want to order one of these soon so I dont have to deal with so much bodyroll when my cars back on the road =P

Thanks!

KYB is a better match with RS*R down springs, for RS*R race youd be better with koni yellows

s-tunes arent coilovers theyre a matched spring/shock combo that are actually quite stiff, but dont drop much like you said

ive heard nothing but praise about kts, id say theyre well worth the money because your getting coilovers that are equal to sets that cost >$500 more and these are easier to have serviced

eventually i will be getting a set of these and some various other suspension parts to really get the turning side cracking before i work on my engine

How about this... I LOVE my KTS coilovers. They are the best purchase I ever made for my car. Megan Racing I would be a little skeptical... I have their exhaust and it's actually really great quality and sound, full stainless, etc... I also have their short shifter though and I wish with every bit of me I still had the stock pieces so I could go back. I wouldn't want to spend $900 on their coils when only another $200 away are the KTS pieces.
