Moton? Anyways, you looking for a good set, or the best set? Reason I say Megan Racing is that they are a very good product and pretty damn affordable. I can't see spending a boat load of money on a set of coilovers unless your going to professionally track your Evo. Just my .02

Seriously big $$$ between good affordable coilovers, and "best". Ohlins are the best , bout $7.5 and you are set.

Now, affordable? BC, Megan, Tein etc etc... Gotta state how much you are looking to spend.

Rally cars in my area all run revalved custom setup Ohlins, but I doubt you really meant "best".

Oh, and if you search you can read for days about coilovers and comparisons thereof.

I dont want the Cheap coilovers. But I dont want the expensive coilovers. I want coilovers that are in between but a lil more on the better part.

It depends what you're looking for. Keep in mind the spring rate for whatever coils you get, if your neighborhood is bumpy, I would suggest something with a low spring rate because you will feel it. If your roads are smooth and you got track use I would suggest a higher spring rate.

As far as affordability, Megan Racing are probably going to be the best "bang for the buck".

As far as the best, Ohlins, but you'll be spending a few grand for them.

Spring Rate are listed on the forum:

Like I said on the last thread. If you want something mid range you can pick Teins up for a couple grand.
