Stance are good, BC are Good, KW's rock!, HKS (what I currently have) are good.

My biggest complaint about HKS coilovers is the rebound/compression mappings... They dont work well with a car without beefier sway bars. Even with the Beefier Sway bars I believe the Rebound/compression mappings are off leading to a stiff ride and somewhat bouncy response. Honestly, I kick myself in the butt everyday for not going with my gut and choosing the tried and true KW V3's!

enough of my rant...

anyway, If you want to pick the right Coilover you must first choose the application and driving style.

Aggressive drivers and trackday guys will love the BC's, Teins, KW's and other higher end coilovers... Also if your into tracking or aggressive driving you want a unit that is a two way system that has independent rebound and compression... for you track junkies its a 3 way system that has rebound and hi/lo speed compression.

For guys who just street drive: Tein, Stance, BC, KW's, HKS (on softer settings) and etc...

For those who want to slam the car: BC's, Stance, Air Ride Technologies...

Megan coilovers are ok I have found that most people that I talked to that bought them sold them for something better. Yes its a cheap option but you also get what you pay for too.
