So I have done some research on here and it seems everyone has mixed views on good suspension options. I would like to have an autox setup but some daily driving. Yes I know when it comes to a good autox car its about swaybars and rubber so can we please keep this to just suspension... I have everything else taken care of with my rm bars and summer rubber I about to throw on my 16's... o I have a 96 awd tsi.

I currently have Super Street Teins with pillow ball upper mounts and I really like them. I might have to replace them soon so what do you guys like. These are the options I have been reading about:
1. Tein Type Flex (They are EDFC compatable, come with pillow ball upper mounts w/ camber Adj, 16 way adjustable dampers)
2. Tein Super Street with Pillow Ball Upper Mounts (come with ONLY front strut camber Adj, 16 way adjustable dampers)
3. Koni Sport with Eibach Pro Kit (I don't know to much about these other than people say its a very good set up with about an inch drop all around).
4. D2 Racing Sport Coilovers ( Pillow Ball Top Mount w/ adjustable camber [not available for some models] ,36-way adjustable dampening)

If anyone has anymore combo to add let me know and I will post it.
 
I have the D2 racing coilovers or whatever they like to call them on my car and i must say i love them. Very easy height adjustment and dampening and a fairly nice ride considering the 9k/7k springs. Would definitely recommend them as they handle very very well also.
 
Do the Megan Coilovers come with a dampening option?
Edit: I guess I could look on the site myself haha.
Megan Coilovers (Feature 32 Levels of damper force adjustment)
 
You can not get coilovers with adjustable camber plates for a 2g, period....
You should know this since you already have Tein Super Streets with the upper pillow ball mounts.
If you installed them, then you should know you have no camber adjustment via your upper mounts.

Now if you were talking about a 1g, then yes you can get coilovers with adjustable camber due to the 1gs Macpherson Strut front suspension design.
There is no upper control arm on a 1g the coilover bolts directly to the knuckle, seen here. http://www.vfaq.com/proj-pics/GCkit/1G/GCkit-18.jpg
 
Nope I didn't install them the first time. I had to much going on at the time and now I have no car so I have to hurry and decide if I wanna keep the car and get a good suspension so get some cheap kybs and sell the piece of shit and get a different car. haha
 
I am running the tein ss on my sentra and love them. handling, cornering and all around drivability is great. I have not heard much about the megan coilovers but for the price they dont sound like a bad deal at all...remember this, you get what you pay for...hint hint (coughs ebay junk coughs)
 
JIC coil overs are the best ive found. a bit expensive but worth every penny. i have them on a 1G and they kick ass.

also on a second note, if your going to slam your car to the ground JIC's are the only coiover i know of that will have full suspension travel that low. no tein will do that that i know of.

also slikroad coilovers are good too, i have them on my 240sx and they work great. better than tien by a long shot, for the 240 anyways.

hope this helps
