Just went BC like some others and real happy


aka ^^^^ what hulk said

KW>D2>BC>Megan IMHO

are mono's the mono-max ones by God Speed? If so I would put those between Megan and BC if so...

Hulk

God speed would be after megans. No way they are better lol

BC and Megan are made in the same plant in taiwan and are basically the same.

The perch is diff between the 2

I went with Arnott...probably should've gone with BC or Strutmaster. I'm not very fond of the ride and they have zero adjustment. Hindsight.

B C for me but after a few months I upped the front springs to 1,000lb for flatter turns and less nose dive under braking. It really changde the handling of the car from the stock front springs the kits come with.

Gary did you do this yourself. I'm leaning towards BC. Kits are 950 from what I have seen.

strutmaster has eibach springs on their coil overs if that makes a difference - not adjustable but name brand components - not sure where they fit in in the quality pecking order but they have been around a long time

I have always found adjustable coilovers to eventually squeak. Didn't know about the strutmasters option - are springs for a stock height ride?

SICAMG

Yes very easy to do!! The harder part is the rears only because the lower control arm gets changed.

Strutmasters are designed for stock ride height, but I think they can be adjusted because they made some adjustments to mine when "after market" taiwanese control arms lowered the car's stance.

Call 'em up and ask.

Are you guys cars really stiff with the coil overs? I was going to do them when I get an airmatic failure, but I want the car to still drive nice.

Hulk

You can make them to ride like comfort. It actually surprised me

Blade Canyon

Mine feel the same. A few mechanics have told me they were surprised when they got the car in the shop and discovered the coilovers because they didn't notice anything different while driving the car.

Hulk

However when you want to do some hard cornering you can change them and it completely changes the car

i bought my car on a Sunday on Monday I did the coilover swap (I had zero issues with my Crapmatic BTW) so far I have coilovers and 20"s (lowered 2.5") for over a year with Zero issues and people are surprised how nice the car drives...

Bilstein also makes shocks and you can source springs and put together your own system.
