Megan racing is good for the money. I had them on my 89 240sx and loved them. I currently have tein super streets on my mr2 but they are a bit soft for me. Function and form are also good.

if you have tokico illuminas already just buy what spring rate you're after on ground controls. the illumina is at least as good or better than the budget coilovers

your better off with ground controls. Even though they are slip ons they are better then most full coilovers.

why? unless you dump the car and require the skunk c style of lowering slip overs are all a lot of coilovers really are, they just tac weld them in place. tein for example, that's a tac'd slip style

Looks like all the other generic Taiwan coilovers.

I second what idrivesideways posted.

well I like the way my friends car rode with the mars suspension and they were def not tack welded slip ons. and why would ground control be better than my skunk werks?

my tokicos are set all the way hard and my car is pretty low but I still get sway from my suspension and I know its the struts, I have a fairly new energy suspension master kit already installed and my shocks are only 5 months old they are not bad.

Ground control slip ons have eibach springs, are said to be the best on the market. Not just me saying an its not new.

Do you have sway bars?
