I've been searching for quite some time now for my S13 but I cant find much though, anyway I'm looking for something around $1500 and so far I've narrowed it down to silkroad RM/A8's, GP Sports GR6's, G Master, or Kei Office TDII's. I found a few descriptions on each of them but no reviews from people that have ridden on any of these. need something good for daily driving and I don't really care about a bumpy ride, and will be mostly drifting, autocrossing, and maybe a little track use on them. thanks

Dude you might want to look at a few more coilovers. If I recall correctly most of those jdm tyte coilovers you mentioned can't be rebuilt in the USA. SO if god forbid you need to get your shocks rebuilt that would equal major downtime.
but this is just my 2cents

Kei Office TDII's are no longer in production. If you really don't mind a stiff ride then get the GX's. For a little more rough road comfort get the TE's.

Silk Road RMA8 are also good.

KTS coilovers are very good beginner coilovers. Just make sure you have a diff or it'll be wheelspin city on the autocross course.

If I didn't have my JICs I would've gotten KTS.

I've heard nothing but great things .

if you got a lil more money like 1800 the jic FLT-A2's are very nice had on my car for a year and no probs. rides very nice and i have it droped 2 1/2" or more all they way around. rides so nice but big bumps kinda hit hard

for 1500 look for something that you'll be able to get rebuilt here in the states, Apexi N1's or the KTS from SPL. If im not mistaken the N1's are rebaged but they look professionally desinged and well built. Get the apexi coils a buddy of mine got his at the apex sale for 700 flat. Those coils are sweet!!!

Stance is really your ONLY option, haha.

But seriously, get Stance...I wouldnt redo my purchase for anything...and I have experience with many other coilovers.

Give a little bit more information on Stance and if any other coilover equipped cars you have driven. How is the dampening on the KTS? Supperior to Megan? Thats the main thing I'm worried about right now
