Coilover Help

So I am looking to get coil overs but whats the best brand for the price? I found KW, H&R, Ksport, D2, XYZ, BC, Megan... what do most of yall run? I am not looking to lower my car a lot just a little. I drove my friends 2010 or 11 s5 and thats the type of ride I am looking for.

If you dont want at big drop just go with springs, on the other hand coils are great because you can choose almost any height.

From what Ive seen the H&R kit arnt able to slam the car, I would go with Megans if you want a cheaper kit.

I have a K-Sport (D2) kit myself and I am very happy with them, main advantage is that they have a twin tube design wich means that you can adjust ride height without affecting spring load.

I would suggest BC br racing coilovers. You can find them at import image racing. 995$ shipped. They are a little more than megans, but in my experience in the car scene, the megans tend to break fast and frequently. BC also has a great customer service and will send you free parts when yours break. Im actually ordering BC coils for my 08 c350 in a couple of days!
