what coilovers

Okay so I have about 1100 dollars to spend, And I need coilover since I am sick of the bounce that lower springs cause. and suggestions?

I am looking either k-sport or bc coilovers.

I am looking for input for what works best, and what you have. thanks

I'm running KW Variant 2's, I couldn't be happier! I spent a month researching different coilover options and found KW very hard to beat. Google K-sport and KW reviews and you will find shock dyno's, reviews and pics of why K-sports are as low priced as they are.
KW Suspensions are very big in Europe and the european performance world. FYI, the rear dampers with the V2 coilovers are made by Koni for KW, that should give an idea of the quality, let alone the fact they are stainless steel housings have passed some very rigorous corrosion testing on the front strut housing. Daily driving?, "beautiful", I drive almost 100 miles round trip/day and love it. I know the KW's are the most pricey, but worth every bit. Remember KW v1's are not damping adjustable like the V2's.

Did they fix the problem with the rear dampers? B+G uses linear rate springs, I believe. KW's are progressive. Progressive will give you a better ride for everyday driving and still offer a high level of performance.

Excellent choice! Check with Adam @ TH Motorsports for a price, I was happy with what I paid.
