Do you track the car? What set up do you have now? Is it your DD?

chiwanese crap. the best of the sorry bunch are Stance and HSD ( who make stance.) or Pedders or KW coil overs... Megan? Good luck with them...
No its not my dd, and i havent tracked it yet but would like to this spring.. as of right now i have stock suspension with hahn exhaust, hahn intake and charge pipe with trifecta tune
If you plan on tracking the car go for Pedders/FE5 shocks or Koni Yellows. Or save up for KW v2. Megans are OK if you just wanna go lower and say you have coilovers on the cheap, but arent really performance oriented.
I need to engage in homicidal activity on a massive scale......

^^^ and another thing. Its an LNF, right? awesome car deserves better suspension than you are looking at. These LNF cars are so awesome wrecking the handling and ride with crap drives me crazy. And power? GMS1 in winter is like spin city in any gear. hmmmm. u want more and drive the car year round? wondering (thread jack not directed at you lol)
megans don't even get you that low... comparable to ssc's maybe a bit lower at there lowest setting. i know someone with them and she is vary disappointed with them... she doesn't track so i don't know how they handle. but Id say go HSD if you want coils. pedders if ya stick with springs. if you track the car you will be much more happy with the hsd or pedders setups.
these guys hit the nail on the head.

Megan is a whore. Pretty sure Megan makes "Racing" coilovers, just not for our platform. Those are the only ones I'd ever consider even putting on a beater car. I hate everything Megan... its just eBay crap. However, a good friend of mine had the Megan "Racing" Coilovers on his 7M Supra, and they were actually quite good. Who knows how long they'll actually last though. They were 10x's better than the Tein crap he had on there before.

Thanks guys for the help.. imma keep looking around and see if i cant find a set of stance coils and just get them.. does the stance have a camber adjustment on them, does anyone know??
What r u trying to do with the car? I mean dont let the word u put in caps get to your head. None except the kws are really good for the car. Stances have camber adjustment

GMS1 plus anything between the tire and road surfice = wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel spin. yes even a fine layer of salt.
Matty: The LNF MAF doesn't like extra air flowing past it and not being tuned for it.
Me: I think dead horse is dead
Matty: Nope, just saw the legs twitch a bit, must beat it more. not sure EVERYONE on this forum understands it just yet.
Me:
Pedders springs LNF shocks here, why?
Because racecar!

Most people don't realize that your's really is a race car.

Yep, spring and tax returns can't come fast enough, really don't need much for the car to be tech ready and I can start working on a novice license!

Well from what I've been able to determine the kw variant 2 set up is supposed to be the top shelf coilover package. Having said that, I haven't driven on them. I am ordering them on tuesday and THmotorsports has them on sale right now. Just under $1500 for my 06 Ion RL.
ya they also posted that they are out of stock of Kw2. so what does that mean? Lot of money and expectation for something that Pedders on tc front struts and Koni rears can outperform for half the price... thats my .02c
