Coilovers?
I have seen a couple of brands lately popping up for our platform and wondering what people are thing about then. Also wondering who has coilovers, what brand, what they like, and what they dislike about them if possible. I will have a few bucks possibly coming soon and would like to buy a set of coilovers just not sure what brand. I had a seen a few people say good thingsa bout scionpro does anyone else? How is the tein? Do we have megan making coilovers for us?
I have KSports and really like them. Only thing I dislike is the fact that they don't have a mount for the factory brake line and ABS sensor wire. You have to use these flimsy ones they send with the coilovers that don't even fit, or use zipties.
The ScionPro ones have the mount and look very nice. I'll have to look at them a little better.
The BC Racing ones are available to my understanding, but I don't know of anyone running them.
Teins seem nice and they have all the factory mounting points for the brake lines and ABS wire. Only thing about them is, you have to use the factory top mount. I feel if you're spending that much, they should have adjustable pillowballs.

Yep this I know but searching a million thread over again when I want to get a more broad overview of things is a little easier. It gives peoples personal opinion rather then getting lucky with a few searches. Searches on forums suck.

I have had my ksports for 30k miles. They have held up amazingly. I have the old design though. I do know there are a few differences. My pillow ball mounts are rubber where the new ones are metal which means they will last a lot longer but mine wont make so much noise. The nice thing about ksports is the Diameter is small enough that you can trade up to bag struts if you want like I did. Almost an investment for the future if you're into going low.
i have tein coils now for about a month or 2 and they are awesome, yes you feel more of the road than with sportlines that i had, but feeling the road more is what spirited driving is all about. i can take turns wayyy faster and i love the ride height adjustability. this is my first set of coilovers and i love them......i highly recommend them to anyone who wants their car to handle much better than whatever they have now. i really wanted the tein ss's with the adjustable dampening and rebound, but they dont make that model for this car.
