For DD use, get the cheapest set. With your budget range, you won't be able to tell the difference. That being said: ISIS and Megan are your top dollar. Go with EMUSA, Godspeed, JSK, etc.

everyone saying isis, megan suck, do you actually own a set, or driven a car with them? quite honestly i thought they would suck too, but after owning some isis coil-overs my opinion is quite the opposite, and they actually feel better than tein basic's and superstreet's, they almost feel about the same as the tein flex or my hks hipermax's on my Fit, but build quality probably not as good, but still not bad for only $700? and for daily its works just fine, i have another 240 with Zeal B6 before and now Tanabe Seven's and they are super expensive and hella stiff, ok for daily and better for track, where as the isis i notice if you do push it a little harder they aren't as good, but still bearable and for a lot of people they wouldn't notice the difference of isis to a better more expensive coil-over

for sub $800.00 i got KYB AGX's, Tien lowering springs, camber plates, and front tension rods.

on 1/1 stiffness it is as soft as stock.

on 3/6 stiffness it is pretty damn stiff

on 4/8 it is just retarted stiff.

its not as low as coilovers, but its definitely more daily drivable. i can still clear speed bumps if need be.

j/w - why do you want coilovers? for max lowering?

Uh, don't listen to that.

JSK is alright I guess for a daily driver, Godspeed and Emusa are total garbage.

Of the two you said I would pick Isis, but first I'd look for some used Tein HRs or something.

thanks for all the inputs guys, hearding all this, now im deciding, saving up for some stance or pbm or just get the isis hrp pros. i looked into used coil overs like the tiens but for a 100-200 you can get a different brand new coil over. has anyone used the isis hr pros? i seem some fucked up videos of the isis hr, with broken strut and shit but how are the isis hr pros with the new mono tube design?

All I've heard in this thread so far is. Should I go with Windflower, Windflower, or Windflower.

No OP, you should go with Windflower.

Thank you, thank you for being the one person to point out that they all came out of the same asshole.

Right and you know a thing or two about good entry level coilovers after selling your Godspeed coilovers in the Marketplace, right?

What is this 2005? Tein still puts out HR models? You're literally suggesting to OP to go buy a set of old ass coilovers that have been replaced by their newer and expensive shit. OP was asking for broke bitch budget coilovers. Tein is overpriced for what it's worth.


And this sums up this entire thread:

That being said, my suggestion for buying the cheapest set is probably the best solution for a broke bitch budget.

Also, OP, if you're raising your budget, go with Fortune Auto. You'll regret PBM. It's quality is pretty good but compared to other coilovers around that price, it's best that you get Fortunes or Feals. After selling my third set of Fortunes (version 3) with Swifts to go with PBM, I don't even have my car that low and the ride quality was never the same even with the 8/6 spring rates.

I also have a set of Fortunes for sale. They're version 2's with low miles (2,XXX), $800 + shipping and paypal fee. PM me, they are the one's not circled: (they're both version 2's if any of you were wondering)
