Default Which Coilovers?

Im in the market to drop my car, and i dont want to go just spring route. Which coilovers are good? I dont quite like stiffness as stock would the most stiffness i would like. I hear that Buddy Clubs are good but i dont know how stiff they are or not. Any suggestions?

If you want something softer the Tein CS seems appropriate.

The H&R coils are on the softer end of the spectrum as well.

I think the softer coil-over and the most decent in quality, Tein CS will be your best bet.

i have the Tein flex on my S.... i personally love everything about them. I think that the spring rate is just right from my kind or driving. they are fully adjustable, and coaked to pervent from rust. I dont think you can beat it for the price!!

- I have comptech adjustable springs/koni yellows and its pretty damn soft..
- I had coilovers, but they didn't go as low as I wanted thats why I went with the "cheap coilover setup" (compared to a FULL coilover setup)

I have the buddy clubs and they are definately less harsh than stock. At full soft they are downright squishy.

Post this in the Toronto forum and you should get about 10 instant reponses as they're the CO of choice right now. (Price and Performance)

BeachBum's crazy. The buddy club's on the softest setting are still firmer than stock...

They smooth out the ride a lot which is why he's confused

If you're just going to be driving your car on the street, I'd go with the Tein Flex
