Lower tier price- BC/Megan

Upper tier price- HKS, JIC, KW

SUPER DUPER tier price- Top Secret


Best would be KW or JIC, price is usually 1800-2000. I believe Amp'd Motorsports is selling JICs for 1700 shipped.

I got the BC Racing coils and love them although a few people on here that have them have a small but annoying rattle. They run around $1,000.

If I had the spare cash for coilovers, I'd go with the KW. IMO, I don't think the TS coils are worth the extra dough.

People love their BC's, but if you have the extra cash, jump on KW or JIC... those things are amazing.

It's about the adjustibility and the quality of the ride.

E.G., the JIC-Magic coils are 15 way-adjustable. You can adjust the dampening, shock, and spring height, which are all factors in handling and ride quality. Not only that, their headquarters is Domestic here in SoCal. So if anything happens to your coils, you can just send them in and they'll do the maintenance or repairs needed. That's a big plus IMO since it would take much quicker for you to receive them back since you don't have to send them overseas like other companies.

You can get them from Amplified Motorsport new for $1800. There's only 2 sets though for that price so I would jump on it while it's still good. I highly recommend the JIC-Magic, there's just so many ways you can adjust the height and ride quality.

BC are height and 30 way ride adjustable. If you get a set that does not rattle, you cant beat them for $1000.
