hey guys, i am looking into coilovers for my FD, ill mostly be using them for canyon roads, and the occasional drag. Also this wont be my daily driver, so if they are violently stiff, great ! So far ive narrowed it down to Knightsports, Cusco, and JICs. ive ridden in JIC's in a FC and was impressed, but theres always that doubt...anyways give me some feedback on the coilovers thing, thanks!

HKS if you want to do drag.
JIC are good bang for the buck but you will need to add a spacer in between the pillow ball and bump stop to prevent it from denting the hood.
Custcos are nice but I doubt you will get a good price on them.
I have JIC SF1's and personally if I were to buy over I would get Buddy Club's or HKS HD2's for $1500

Personally I dont like Tein, Tanabe, Cusco or JIC, but thats just me.
I have driven on them all. Apexi are nice, HKS new style is nice, old style is a lot like the above, when you tune them hard they get bouncy NOT stiff. I havent rode on BUDDYCLUB, but I have a set in stock going on the FD hehe
Knightsports---Never really saw anyone use them. Nor have I heard any reviews on them. Doesnt mean they are bad, probably just pricey and not a big name.
