Debating on racelands or bc or stance coilovers

Hey guys,

Was just wondering what your opinion is on the coilovers mentioned. I have INTRAX proflex coilovers right now, and they are terrible. I am in dire need of new coilovers. Could someone with the following coilovers let me ride in their car, so i can test it out? Any help is greatly appreciated.

This way i can judge for myself, how horrible or how great the setups are.

Oh boy, here we go. Before **** gets obnoxious in here I'll say that I love my stance coils. Yes the ride is firm, but if comfort is your priority then just get springs.
Best of luck!

Edit: if you're ever in the north bay you're more than welcome to take a ride.

You are going to get a bunch of people here saying that you will be swapping garbage for garbage. Which in someways is true.

I would save your $$$ and get a higher end coil (like kw or something of that nature) or go with a nice spring/strut combo.

BUT IF you must have coils i would grab the Feal 441's. (similar price range, with great customer service.)

i agree, get feal since it's around your budget. Based in socal, owner is an FD driver so he probably knows what he's talking about.

Albert so with a strut spring set up.

If not come by and order some Fortune Autos from my work you'll be much happier with them.

please consider me one of the bunch.

Why would you swap a cheap s*** set of coilovers that you hate for another cheap s*** set of coilovers you will likely hate?

the only "budget" coilover I would even consider is HVT Coilover (GD 5x100) - Suspension
That's based purely on the fact that TiC will sell them and I know the company won't carry things they don't think are good.

omg, relax guys.... im on a budget and not everybody makes good money. that's like me using progressive shocks on my motorcycle, instead of spending $ for some works shocks that actually work. all i am asking for are opinions. I'm not here to have a debate. ide like to pick the less ****tiest out of the bunch.

Im just rolling my eyes cause in a different thread i suggested 441s or fa500's to a 16 year old on a budget and i get the response " bcs and iscs are fine."

Sure they are fine but dont you want to spend a little more for a lot better product?
