As far as under a "G" goes, people seem to like the Megan Streets.

no megans are just like ksport or d2 they are sub-par at most, if u want track or others u might wanna try 2 find someone selling used ones like tein or stance, for about 500 or 600 and if they blow u can send them out 2 get repaired. it cost like 300 2 have rebuild. i saw once some stance which are are great for 700 but the guys was in cali and didnt want 2 ship it so, honestly i have ksports and alot of people told me not to get it, but i for brand new coilovers for 750 with a 3 year warranty u cant beat it. and plus ive done alot of drifting and messin around so really ur choice

If you are on a budget why skimp on the single most important part of your suspension?

Used, if you are a cheapo.

I think Phase2 might still be having that sale on form & function coils. Maybe try those.

i got my megans used from a guy on here for 600 and for like 200 i could get them repaired when i need them to be.... my buddy has K sports and they blew 2 time in 3 years so i think thats a fail to me but we do live in cali and the roads suck here

Megan's seem to be the cheapest shipped brand new....but i found my HKS Hipermax on Ebay for 700$ so that was an f-ing steal!!!!

hey sorry i hadnt responsed erarlier i got them from dubs in nyc, just remember that if you have a chance to get something like teins or stance and they are like a couple of bucks over ur budget go for it. trust me you wont regret it. and as for ksports blowing you got the warranty and my friend has a gs300 and he's running on ksports for somewhere around 10 to 15k.

buy a used set of good coilovers. i got my Yashio Factory coilovers used for 6 months, great condition and for $1350 shipped. dont go cheap on one of the most critical components of your car.

You could try using some Koni Yellows, then convert them to coilovers with some sleeves (that's my plan in the near future)
