Coilovers: What to buy?!
I'm wanting some info on coilovers that people have REALLY used and REALLY tested to find what i can get as the best bang for the buck coils.
I'm not exactly going for what can go the lowest, but just what has worked for other people and drifting.

I should add that i dont REALLY give a **** what you buy but i do feel the innovators out there that do it for US and the sport (vs for profit) deserve your money.
You wouldn't want someone who works for less money doing half the work you do taking your job and putting you out on the street, would you?

Spot on, sir.
PS. I had Stance on my S13, they were good, I liked them.
Now I've Tein Super Drifts... these are better, and I like them more...

I use Tein Super Drifts on my FC and Tein Flexes on my FD. I like Tein's build quality, customer service, and longevity. Those things are more important to me than original purchase price. In the past I have used Godspeed, Megan, and K-Sport. The Teins are more expensive, but I get more out of them.

Man, i dont even care. Look at how beefy those ************* are! ****!
edit: taking offers on some 1 way adjustable old as **** but not blown beat *** jic sp coils. Pm me. I need stance in my life. Mother of god!
I note they use linear springs over progressive. How come we've yet to talk about this **** in our applications?
What are the advantages/disadvantages to running them over going with progressive rates?

i always felt progessive springs belong on drag cars. For the rear, it would allow the rear to squat down and transfer all the weight over the rear axels before progessively getting stiff to prevent the rear suspension from bottoming out. For drifting, it seems it would allow all the weight transfer laterally before becoming stiff. Just doesnt seem like a goos setup for drifting IMO. But im not a mechanical engineer, so what do i know?
And while we are pluggin shiz for sale...
I have a set of Mazdaspeed struts and eibach springs in good condition sitting in my garage. $300. I will never use them.
