most of these coilovers (i think all, iirc) are 9k/7k spring setup. in general, springs are springs, it's the dampers that really set different coilovers apart.

stance gr+pro - too stiff, doesnt squat even on full soft. great for being slammed and that's about it.
apexi s1 - GREAT! tons of adjustability, rebuildable in the states. does not go very low, only S1's are available for FC making them a bit pricey
tein super street - very soft, great for street driving, awesome grip but when running no sway bars too much lean for drifting
powered by max - also very stiff, goes super low, better adjustability than stance
bc racing br type (my current setup) - i got these expecting low quality but they're actually great. better adjustability than stance/pbm, goes both stiff and soft. goes low. all around great coilover

if you have the money, get apex'i s1's. if you're on a budget, bc racing are great for the price

Now THAT was a good answer. Very helpful.

Apex ARE awesom but if these are similar and cheaper...
Nice

+stance coils for a drift setup

glad i could help, i know there's a lot of "i have ______ and they are awesome because i like them!" posts out there regarding coilovers.

Apex'i's R&D team is active again in japan, im trying to get them to produce the ex-v for FC's, but until then BC racing will do the job.

I have Stance Gr+ coil overs and I must say they are great! Install can take about 1-2 hours depending on how mechanically inclined you are. They ride great too! I have them set 1 step lower than the stiffest and they handle like a champ! Definitely recommend Stance coils.

i've never owned them, but i have driven a car with them. Isis are just like any of the other "cheaper" brands; circuit sports, megan, d2, etc. they are OK if all you want to do is lower the car. i wouldn't recommend it for track use since the valving sucks and they wont last long.

convert your own or megans if youre on low budget

I've used the tein flex on my supra and it does well. I like the fact that they can still be rebuilt and individual parts are available as well

Stance would be your best bet on coilovers, worth every penny.

If you can find slightly used Apexi s1's that is what I would do!

How much a good price for coilovers?

OS Giken! the extra price means they're better.

^I think os giken is out if his budget. I have tein mono flex, I should have went with the street or drift setup. Mono flex are two stiff. And if you planning on rebuild in the future, then I would go with tein and zeal.

Anybody use godspeed?

Isn't Stance,Megan, ect, all the same cheap Chinese company? Wouldn't it be better in the long run to try and source some parts from Bilestien or Koni to build a proper set up?
