whats the going price for both?krnxwestsider said:tein and ksport are your obvious choices.. there is a krn brand called Quest.. and i think it was ARK that was starting to build one too..
so is there no point in getting them if your just doing your everyday driving?? or are they for racing only?krnxwestsider said:teins go from $1400-$1600.. and ksport go from like $850-$1200.. theres 2 types of coilovers for ksport..you can read up on that on their website.. pretty much you're looking to spend over a $1000 for coilovers.. i never had one but i'm going to have to say that they pretty much do their thing as performance goes.. tein is well known.. i've heard nothing but good from people who've gotten ksport.. the only thing is that for daily driving, it's going to be a bumpy ride..
Hey... taking off ramps at speed is fun.. :3_winkthubcware said:for a daily driver, honestly, no. if you're obsessed with having the perfect drop with the widest lowest offset wheels then you'd want them only because you can fine tune the dampening and height. as far as performance, unless you're doing some sort of hard corning in autocross or something like that they wont do much more than increase the speed at which you can take offramps and traffic circles...
So i guess its not really worth wasting 1 to 16k if your not planing on lowering or racing around the track then.bcware said:for a daily driver, honestly, no. if you're obsessed with having the perfect drop with the widest lowest offset wheels then you'd want them only because you can fine tune the dampening and height. as far as performance, unless you're doing some sort of hard corning in autocross or something like that they wont do much more than increase the speed at which you can take offramps and traffic circles...
it's pricey and dont forget the installation cost as well, if you've got the dough and want the looks and performance to match go for it, otherwise a smaller suspension upgrade might suite you.jrosario7 said:So i guess its not really worth wasting 1 to 16k if your not planing on lowering or racing around the track then.

I only see the springs on that website... and i heard they only make those for the 97-02 Tib... not the GK.redtib03 said:You guys forgot about another brand called B & G Sport Coilovers. They are about $1000. Here is a link, but I dont know how good they are:

+1 I have them as well.... But I had 'em first of course, Jason likes to copy me, lol.Redtibofmakakilo said:I would say top three is Tein, ksport, and Quest. I have quest coilovers and they rock.. but hawaii roadways and potholes suck !!!
Thats how i sould look at it. If your not going to hit any tracks to auto cross or anything then just get you and eibach package or something or just mix and match to get the height and feel you want. Would save you money and give you the feel and look your looking for.jrosario7 said:So i guess its not really worth wasting 1 to 16k if your not planing on lowering or racing around the track then.
