ok who here has coilovers and hows the ride on them? i'm thinking abotu buying some tanabes

 

I have coilovers, however they are on my VW (1996 GTi VR6 S/C).

Anyways, the ride is good. If you are looking for firm and height adjustable than go for it. However, be forewarned that you probably won't be changing the height as much as you think.

I have had mine on for a year and have not raised or lowered them once. I might as well have gotten a fixed drop kit.

Everytime you raise/lower, it is recommended that you get an alignment...

ive got HKS on my xB, and i would agree that you wont be changing the height very much...with the exception of getting lower to suit your taste. i went with coilovers because, other than an airbag system, springs were not going to get me as low as i wanted to get. the ride is firm, but i tend to like my ride firm.

i would recommend the Tein system. 2.5 drop, and and excellent ride. i would say the ride is better than HKS, but its just not low enough for my taste.

good luck!

 

I have sustec pro's and they ride smoother then stock... I just wish they made them with an adjustable dampening... I like my ride a slightly stiffer
