Hi Roberto, sorry for the late reply, the post was moved from the review folder as that one is only for product reviews.

It depends on your budget and what platform you have. For a RWD a great budget option is the Tein Basis coilovers, these are a mild drop setup and do not have damping adjusters but have a good ride quality, not too firm.

The Stance SS coilovers are a bit more money but a good option, then for quite a bit more are the KWs, V1 has no damper adjusters and V3 has adjustment, these would be the choice for a track ready G.

If you have an AWD, the KSport, and Fortune 500 would be two good options.

Would you have an alternative suggestion to the Tein coilovers around that price point? I am looking for a coilover set for a RWD sedan. Looking to keep the ride comfort about the same as my current stock sport suspension. Car is only being used as a daily driver. I have been rec'd the Tanabe Sustec Comfort R's but i wasn't able to find a lot of ppl on the G forum with feedback.

JRZ coil-overs MUST be good. They're a couple of grand per corner.

Roberto, your question is too basic. Which G platform, is this for street or track, how low do you want to go, how much do you have to spend?

I can attest as well that if you're on a budget and you want similar to OEM ride quality the Tein Basis coils are the way to go. Even though there is no damping adjustment they are not harsh at all.

I'd also like to know what the roads are like in your area. I'm currently in Asia and let me tell you, there's no way in hell my car, equipped with Aragosta suspension (or myself) would survive more than a month. Same could be said for Southern California. Probably too harsh for daily driving after experiencing the roads there.
