Coilover Strut Help
I have a 03 GSR and I'm trying to find a decent budget coilover set or set of struts/springs for street applications.
My front struts are both blown and need to be replaced and I figured I would just get a moderately priced coilover set rather than replacing the oem struts. Any suggestions?
I'm looking at Megan Racing and NEX, both are priced under 1k. I have heard people kinda giving the Megan Racing set a bad rap. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the Megan Racing or NEX sets? Maybe if they are both crap and I should spend a bit more money on something better? I don't want a hugely aggressive ride. I do only drive the car on the weekend but I don't ever plan on track racing this car. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Bilstein HD Struts and Swift (or GTWorx) Springs = awesome. That is under 1k also. $650 for the struts (all 4) and $270-189 for the springs.
Search my name and threads I have started. I've done a few reviews on the Bilstein/Swift combo.
