I may be interested in your megan coilovers, i just want to look around a little more and hopefuly get a little more input. I want to make shure i'm not settling and i get exactly what i want the first time (or as close to it as possible) so i dont have to keep spending money looking for the right setup. Is PSM the brand or the series, i dd the car but i dont care about ride quality (im setting the car up for track.) Thank you guys for the input, its greatly appreciated!

Stance is the way to go! Dmax pretty nice too. No on Ksports or Megans. I've had both... Good for Daily's though.

I've been running stances for like three seasons now. They ride pretty well, there's not too much body roll or anything, and the car handles nice. I've never seen reason to get anything else.

stances are pretty nice as well. as far as a 240, my friend is running gr+ and they can be slammed, and are amazing at handling.

As usual, I'm going to an ***...

I haven't seen a single piece of solid fact as to why the OP should buy the recommended brands. "I have these and I like them" or "my buddy has xyz". Give this guy key points or features to work from vs. "buy mine, buy this, buy that".

I haven't seen any real reason to buy any of the mentioned coilovers mentioned in this thread. Give this guy some solid info here - help him understand the differences then let him decide what options / features he'll want.

hell anyone/monkey can sit here and type out a list of brand names but could anyone really say that they *honestly* bought their suspension parts with a decision based on anything but brand name or looks? I'm sure there are a good deal of guys who didn't buy their parts with color and brand-name in mind... but come on guys, give him more info than brand name.

One of the things I should have done looking back now was bought electronically adjustable kit (Tein EDFC). Anyhow, I have a set of Tein Pro's on my car now and would probably pass on buying another set if I were in the position again - there isn't a "middle" spot from rock-solid to comfortable (keeping in mind that it'll be a rough ride anyhow). Besides that I think they're due for a rebuild already. One of the nozzle/valves broke twice.
