Default 700$-1000$ budget coilover?

Hello, I’m about to upgrade my suspension on my civic98 ex and I would like to know what would be your recommendation for coilover. I know there is a lot reviews on web site but it seems like 5-6-7 years ago... like if no ones buying this anymore. That’s a daily drive car, no track at all... Sorry for my english, this is not my first language.

Have you guys heard goods things about:
Dynamic Pro Sport
Neo Motorsport (bleu or purple)
Megan
Raceland

What are you riding with??

BC Racing is the best sub 1,000 dollar coilover you can get. Completely rebuildable and customizable.

All the ones you mentioned are overpriced garbage.

Look into Progress Competition. They're a vendor here.

BC racing is another good budget suspension .

What about Tien Flex Z coil overs? I’ve read good reviews. I have also read that they are no rebuildable. Any thoughts on these?

I'm running these now. Nearly a year and they are doing well. Good drop, 1-4".. Ride isn't as harsh as you'd expect from the "budget" brand. I've ridden with K-Sports that were much harsher lol! These are good starter set to get a foot in the door on actual coilovers if you've never had any. I wouldn't use them for track purpose or anything, but they do well for DD.

GARBAGE as well. OP, if you want some decent coilovers, get some Progress. The company has been around for over 20yrs and have a great line of products.

You ever use them? On what vehicle? For what purpose? If never; you can't say they're garbage.. I currently use them and they work very well for daily driving. Even ok for spirited daily driving. Track purpose? Nope. I wouldn't. They aren't the best, but they're FAR from garbage.

Why would I waste $500 for that GARBAGE? If the dampers blow, can you order replacements? N O P E.

Everyone has their own opinion on which coilovers are the best.. jus remember that u get what u pay for.. I say choose one brand and jus go with it.. I mean the price range ur in 700-1000, u can get some really good coilovers regardless of brand.. so jus chose wisely and go for it..
