Default BC/D2/Tanabe/Megan/K-Sport/Tien

Def saving up to get a set of coilovers, since they all seem about the same thought I would throw this out there and get some comments about these diff manufacturers from those with experience.

I'm leaning towards D2 simply cause I like the color ha

All feedback and comments are welcome!

Not sure which is best... Guess it depends on what your wanting them for. Most on here have Ksports and i have a set of Megans in my house that im hoping to put on this weekend and can review.

At NST we offer BC RACING and TEIN.
We use these two brands on our own race cars, street toys, and daily cars.
We use these two brands because they are extremely well built and function really well for track and street.

You can see our pro drift cars in action on the RACE TEAM section of our website:
http://www.nonstoptuning.com/NSTraceTeam.htm

The BC BR KIT is by far the best $1000 coilover kit on the market.
Great spring rates, 30 ways of adjustment, a great deal of suspension travel.

Best of luck with your project!

Default NO KSPORTS

Do not buy the Ksports... they do not weld the acc. pieces on to the lower very well. I was raising my car back up in prep for winter winI noticed that the tab fro the front sway bar link had pulled away from the lower mount. I contacted Ksport and they said that I would have to completley remove the coilover and send it to them for them to examine it to see whether they would warranty it or not. I do not have an aftermarket sway bar or anything that could have caused this other then a faulty weld. so DO NOT BUY THE KSPORTS...

Iv had the Megans on for about 2 weeks now... I know thats not very long but i think so far they're great. Im pretty low on agressive wheels and the dampening is great also, installation was a breeze and i dont have one complaint about them.

Hey all sorry to bump such an old thread...

I'm running the D2 coilovers, purchased from JM Auto Racing. I was wondering if anyone else out there was running these. I've only got about 400 miles on them currently. Purchased them just after new years but didn't have the nice weather to get the car out till last week...

tanabe's for the quality in product! it isn't about the short term but the long term of the product. i've found the best way is reading reviews on it.

oops, didn't realize it was an old post with a new question.

You guys haven't sent me a refund or my light-weight crank pulley that I ordered in February.

Don't buy from NST. I've been waiting for months for a refund or my crank pulley and they have yet to respond to phone call or email.

Yah don't buy from NST. They have the worst costumer service ever.
I had a 2013 Toyota Corolla S before, took them almost 4 months to ship the product. Within this 4 months there was 0 communication with them.

I emailed them, no response.
I called them, no response.
I left voice mail, no response.

Felt like they were screening the calls, and had my phone on blacklist or something
