i want to buy coilovers tomorrow.
but i can't decide between 3 different setups

keep in mind this is for a drift car. i try to drive it on the street as little as possible.

1. TEIN Super Drift
10/8kg spring rates, twin tube design

2. Stance GR+ (Pro)
8/6kg (includes 9/7kg springs also), monotube design

3. Apex'i EXV N1
8/6kg, monotube design

any help would be great, i dont know very much about what i should get.
i'm really starting to lean toward the Stance GR+s
then i would put the included 7kg spring in the back, making it 8/7kg or 9/7kg
im just seeing if you guys would have any suggestions that might change my mind about something

thanks,
Greg

well, i just got off the phone with stance.
they say you can swap springs around and make it 9/8kg
that kinda sold me.

but if someone has a good opinion of super drifts i might start leaning back that way... haha

sorry guys, im just trying to learn it all before i blow a bunch of money

MY GOD! at the tailpipe. Meh, to each his own. Anyway, I would steer clear of the Super Drifts. You're paying more money for the "Drift" to be in the name. It would be a very hard choice for me between the Stance and the Apexi coil-overs. Both have been proven to work well. Just make sure to get them valved to your liking and corner-balance your car.

i went with the stances
i talked with them on the phone and you can switch around springs and make it 9/8kg

it'll be perfect
