Talking I need new Coils under $900 (need opinions)

I am deciding Between D2, Megan, ksport, and BC racing.
Which are the best in your opinion and why.
i want to eliminate wheel gap but i do not want to "Slam" my car.

I would go with BC or Megan.

Megan are a little cheaper Bc will be a little better quality.

Let us know if you need any pricing!

are you kidding me? apparently people that drive these cars on the track then are idiots.......

best combination for the money = pedders on stock struts.....kw variant 2 and koni struts on pedders springs are the only thing close or better. stance, bc, pedders coilovers dont compare.

if all your concerned about is getting low buy stance coilovers...best for the money. still arent better then pedders of fe5 struts or koni struts. stance aka hsd is a good street coilover and thats about it.

pedders fe5 struts = under 900.....best handling decent drop for the money end of story. if you drive every single day on the streets or have roof roads you dont want coilovers of any sort.

nope their sitting here lol. i drive my buddies with my same suspension. black car too matter of fact. the drop is decent but if your trying to get low you wont like them. i think they drop like 1.3" up front and an inch in the back or something like that.

nope not at all...pedders are the best of fe5 or koni struts atm. the only thing thats some what close are ssc springs on the stock struts but its almost equal to stock handling so i wont cosider it an upgrade. just gets you lower then pedders with almsot stock handling.
