A lot of the RA's running coil-overs on this form like BC Racing. I personally am planning to go w/ BC Racing when I switch to coil-overs, primarily because I can custom select my spring rates at order time at no additional charge, and they are priced in the $1000 range.

You can do the same with Megans.... I've been competing on Megans for a while now and love them. I also have a Set of KW's which I haven't thrown on yet.

The KW's that I have (granted that they are not exactly off the shelf) are mind blowing. Get these, if you can afford them.

stance has some good ones out but i heard that they were made for the 2008+ lancers. i would like coil overs that are made for the ralliart specifically. 600 pounds more than a gts is a big difference.

BC for Lifetime re-building for $95, no one else does this. IIRC KW says only if it breaks.

KW's off the shelf are rally bred, but should be easily ordered with custom spring rates. A rally bud of mine swears by them. BC is another good choice.

"Drop" should not be an issue with any decent coil-over as they will be height adjustable.

Thanks Riz! But other than drop we changed the springs that were on there.
