If it wasn't for BC's damn rattling I would be riding those right now. However, the Tanabe might be affordable and better quality too.

I voted for Tein because from what I hear they are the best. Can't explain why because I have yet to own a set. But when I was looking for coilovers for my IS300 almost all the IS'z I saw in the magazines were rollin on Tein's.

People are picking the best coil overs, and I can understand that. However, Top Secret coil overs are like 4k, I don't think any members on here will drop 4k on coil overs, unless they are some big time balla's.

Bboy, if price is not an objective, then get Top Secret, if your on a budget then most of those coils are not fair game for you.

If I was on a tight budget I would go with Tanabe
if money was nothing to me, I would go with Top Secret, JIC or KW

As so you all know, the poll allows you to select more than one chose if you want. So choose more than one if you want.

Also Stillballin, price is not necessarily a issue BUT what are the advantages of getting a 3-4k Top Secret coilover set over a 2k JIC or KW set? Are the Top Secret's worth 1 to 2k over these? It comes down to balance IMO. Price usually shows quality but not always. And just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it is that much better than something that is less expensive. IMO it is like the whole G37 and 335 debate. Most of use here believe that the G37 and 335 are pretty equal in performance (stock) but the G37 is 10k less for the same thing so it is the better deal for the most part. I hope this is making sense to you guys. Also this is not just for me but other members here as well that are looking at getting a set of coilovers so give you opinions on which is the best and which ones you would recommend. Facts such as awards and maintenance cost would be great as well.

I would put the Top secret and ARC's at the top of your list, then Bilsteins, Cusco's from that point on it all varies on models. I would still say Motons are better then all of those

I'd venture to say many want coilovers just to lower their car the right way. Tanabe's solution will maintain stock ride and make this cheaper then anyone else from what were hearing.

I am not into the whole lowering thing. I want performance and coilovers that don't cost a fortune to get the springs fixed when worn done.

Are they going to make coilovers for the G37? Do you have a link to their website so I can get some info? Or a link to ARC's would be nice. Still cannot find info on them either.

I had tein, greddy, and tanabe on my 06 350z !! Out of those three my tanabe sustec pro sevens blew the tein and greddy out of the water as far as performance , ride and noise .. Teins are very clunky sounding !!!

they already make a system for the G35 and last time i spoke with them they were in the works of doing one for a 37. you can have the full custom motorsports version built now for a 37. in my opinion these are the best coils on the market bar none. but your going to spend bank.

Waste of money? I think not. while you are correct TS coils are not of their own making they are Top Secret Tuned Aragosta Coilovers built to TS specs. The Aragosta coil over is one of the best in the world which far surpass pretty much every brand in the featured list for voting. If you know anything about suspension then you would understand why they cost so much.

i used the aragosta suspension for my old Integra Type R, those things are the one of the best suspension you can have. Whole construstion is made by alumnium, and is very light weight.
