recommend coilovers plz

hi guys, i finally decided to lower my car on some coilovers. i want to spend about $1000 on it.
i don't want anything fancy. i just want to lower the car about inch and a half front and rear. i don't want a bouncy ride and expecting something as soft as stock or softer. i not planning on tracking whatsoever. something with awesome damping.

if anyone has any recommendations, plz suggest me one as i will be buying one in the next week.

so far i've kept my eyes on BC racing coils, Megan and Ksports but i have no idea about coils. which is good or which is bad.

thanks in advance guys.

There are a lot of guys here that have BC coils. Of the three, that's what I would get.

Funny because all 3 you listed are manufactured by the same company. Get the BC Racing.

None of those will have a caddy like ride. Maybe back to factory feel is about the best you will get.

i had BC's...went through 2 sets of struts and still had noise issues...so I had BC send a third set and decided to sell the kit. It's a hit or miss with their units.

If you up your price range a bit you can get the Tein SS-P brand new Amplified Motorsport - AmplifiedMotorsport.com - performance audio auto accessories I have them and love mine. I'm adding EDFC to them over the winter so I can adjust dampening on the fly. that s definitely a perk of having Tein suspension besides the fact that it s a great quality product.
