What FD suspension do you suggest?

i need to lower my car about 2 inches and i need something stuff enough where it doesn't have a lot of body roll. i want to get some coilover but i have no idea which kind.

the megan racing ones are the cheapest but i'm not sure of the quality.

tein seem to be the ones everyone has.

i just don't know which ones are the best quality.

what ones do you guys have?

Stance Gr+ or Gr+ Pros. Good quality, service. Bang for the buck.

Greddy coilovers here, even on the harshest setting still softer riding than shocks and springs.

Price is great and rates are right. If you want to control bodyroll you want to invest in swaybars not coilovers.

Taking a read through howard colemans suspension thread should point you in the right direction for what you are looking for.

If all you want is lowering, just grab some Tein Super Streets (SS). Good quality for a good price.

<--- Zeal Function X coilovers here..
No doubt probably the best quality for street track coilovers.
But they aren't exactly cheap either..

They do not use the stock shocks. They are an integrated coilover solution.
