About to order another set of coilover overs just trying to get a fill for what all is out there and what everyone thinks of them ive had over time ksports/pbm/stance. Just seeing if there is anything out there better for all around good ride while being low.

What kind of budget do you have? I switched from tein he's to kw v3's and it was a night and day difference.
If you can spend around 2k then the koni / gc combo is supposed to be about as good as it gets for less than 5k. Downside is there is some assembly required.

Since you pretty much already tested the under $1500 range, try something a lot more expensive like KW? Or another brand like Fortune Auto?

Everyone's opinion is different. One man's crappy coilover is another man's ZOMG TEH SEX coilovers. Since you had 3 different brands, just pick whatever. I mean, you should already know what you want in coilovers.

out of the 3 pbm's by far my favorite for low and still comfy i will definatly look into the KW ive looked at Fortune Auto also. Thanks a ton for the input guys.

I guess I didn't mention that if you're wanting a "slammed" look then kw is not for you. I still scrape on my driveway with them though.

Koni/ground control custom setup wouldnt be on that list either. This setup is for people who wants function over form.

Yea, just figured he had ruled those out since he didn't mention looking into them.

Fortune Auto's the best bang for the buck drive-able coilover. If you want something that's slammed and rides crappy, there are plenty of options.
