08-05-2013, 07:50 PM
Emusa or Godspeed are probably the best you can buy currently (unless you're willing to drop 3k on a set of Ohlins).
Other good options- Isis, CX Racing, and D2 racing. Megan is alright
I would stray from Tein...

Ya hey tien is no good? I don't want to spend more then 1200 if I can help it

Godspeed, Emusa, Cx Racing, Isis, D2, Megan is what all the cool kids are running these days. Their dampening systems are far superior to any other coilovers in that pricerange.

I said second to none... Thats usually a good thing? I wouldnt waste the money on legit wheels... Rota makes a really nice rep for 1/4 the price, and they are actually lighter than the works.

Well two people have told you emusa. Cant go wrong with them. Solid quality, solid price, solid customer service, most places can rebuild them in the US, 32 way adjustable dampening, goes low.... What more could you want?

So what if your a ill up and coming drifter? Say buy 3k worth of wheels, 2k suspension, using all legit engine bay parts and get all #super#jdm#drifto in a corner and smash into the curb and flip over into a tree.
Did you get what you payed for? Haha.
Honestly though ... in all seriousness, fuck half the jdm coils. Even emusa they're garbage I went through 3 pair even ramming curbs learning to drift.
I got a set of Racelands and have destroyed a work rim on em and they're still solid. Don't mind dampnening or anything that's what shitty coil companies use when they can't do it right the first time.

In all sarcasm, I'll take your fucktard of the day award and put it on my self of achievements along with bookmarking this so .. so serious thread on coilovers and all the truely positive comments in it.
Besides the fact this kid asked a question (when he shoulda searched) and got people ragging on his car (sarcastically) and telling him emusa was a awesome brand.
So I tip my hat to you for my awesome award.
I want to thank zilvia.. of course, my family, god, cat, my mc'd job for being able to support my ass without it eating would be hard, cancer organizations and even drifting. Before the Tokyo drift movie my life was on a deadly spiral, now with my $1200 illest 240sx on racelands and xxr's I now have a life worth living!

No I don't think people have herd of coilovers popping. Doubt it has to do with spring binding.
It's most likely due to cheap materials being used nowadays. Look in Megan EZ Streets they're made by top a notch manufacturer Windflowers.

Cut your springs bro, oem shock + shorter spring combo = sweet, just tell your grampa to do it for you with a hack saw like the good ol days and use pliers to roll your fenders since you are gonna be slammed low, only 10 mins each corner if you take your time
I used this and it came out looking great

These are the best coils you can buy. Especially used. They last forever and go super low, like all the cool kids you see at the races on the weekends.
Then buy a set of these
http://www.bigwheels.net/wheels/DR-20%20Gold%20Machined%20Face_l.jpg
Drag wheels are much higher quality than the real thing, and the real thing is so much rarer and a lot more expensive. Never buy from companies like Tein, PBM, Stance, or Fortune Auto. Always buy Emusa or Godspeed, preferably Emusa. Also, always buy the cheapest replica wheels you can find, never real wheels. Follow that advice and you will have a dope ass car. If you can't quite afford the Emusas, there is nothing better than cutting your springs yourself. Cut them in half and you will be slammed like no one else.

You dont wanna look into low grade coilovers but everything you're interested on are pieces of shit low grade coilovers? You also don't want some "cheep" made in china coilovers but anything less than $1k coilovers are all made in china.
