Ive really considered them but I don't track it and the road around where i live aren't good at all. I may come back to them after ive gotten everything else ive planned on but who knows. Maybe a r-magic lip kit later down the road as well.

Well FWIW

i used to live in TN and i dont remember the roads being nearly as bad there as they are here in Montana. 2 of my friends are sittin on BC Racing coilovers on full soft and they are incredible. They arent kidney jarring and they are honestly much more comfortable (IMHO) than my tokico/eibach strut and spring set up. did i mention they are very affordable too. You will stick like glue man. I say perfect for even just spirited street driving. I dont track my FC and im gonna go coilover route aswell

I live kinda in the backwoods of east TN lol the city here is very small and has very little money to make the streets prestine. Most roads are farm roads and back roads lol ive honestly been thinking more and more about coilovers. Im not wanting anything super expensive. What would you recommend for some that are not super expensive and also hold up well? Ive been considering some tein coilovers (about $800) or possibly buying my buddies megan racing coilovers when he gets his new coilovers in.

I would say look up BC Racing. They list at around $1200 from BC but if you do a little website searching you can get them for under $1000. A place called Grip Garage used to sell BC but im not sure if the site is up anymore. 6s and 8s are probly good spring rates to look at or if you wanna go a little less maybe 6s and 7s.
