G4s, D2s, Racing Logics are all very similar products. I have D2s on my car and have been happy with them.

Best value for money is the HSDs, which I can get you from $1330 for the street version.

Yeah I've got the D2 aka Nex coilovers on my GTS4, they are nice, very firm at their lowest setting and look bloody good

Compared to my Tein streets with HKS top hats in my GTS-t though, there is no comparison, I love the Teins, but they won't fit my GTS4 and I'm selling the T

I'd so go for D2s if you are tight on money, if you have a bit to spend though, go on nengun and spend round $1800 on some teins you won't regret it

you cant beat SK's bilstein package.

TEIN ALL THE WAY, these seem to be the best on the track, i have run D2's, Nismo's, Cusco, racing logic and i feel that TEIN are the best all round.

And you cant beat that quote! Spot on, bang for buck it is by far the best suspension package you can buy. I've got it on mine with a few extras, and I have had a few ex-race car drivers drive it, and they were just blow away with how nice a ride it was, and how well it handled.

End of the day, its your money, spend it how you will. But its probably worth the wait and save a bit more and get the good stuff.

thanks guys ill take your advise and save some more, which i already have but i thought some of the cheap coilovers are decent but ive done some reseach and they dont seem to be all that good, i was keen on the isc ones which apparently denzo uses in his drift car, but im turned off them now, i was just on nengun and i came across some teins which i originaly didnt want due to their twin tube design, but they have released their mono-flex coilovers, anyone have any experience with them or also buddy club??, and i would go for sk's bilsteins setup but i really want to have the adjustibilty of coilovers, thanks again for everyone input

What do you mean by adjustablity?

Hight adjustable? Because you can do that with SKs kit. Or do you mean dampening adjustable? If thats what you mean, you dont really need it, and its just another thing to go wrong. Its just braging rights. My oppinion at least.

im mean the seperate height adjustment and preload on the spring for fine tuning, and i also have plenty of different springs from my old mans race car, if need stiffer ones to suit coilovers, what internal diameter are in SKs kit. Does anyone know what spring rates SKs setup uses, I appreciate your oppinion for sure thanks

SK uses Whiteline lowered springs, these are in the range of about 2.5-3kg/mm. You will not be able to swap rectangular coils out of a race car into these unless you buy the coilover conversion kit too (about an extra $1000 on top).

If you mean base height and preload adjustment, they're pretty overrated. Height adjustment is height adjustment, the only time it will make a difference is if you have so much preload that it is still preloaded with the weight of the car being supported by the spring. This is a huge amount of preload and you will not have to worry about that.

All the cheap branded coilovers are pretty piss poor. The Tein Monoflex however, I have heard very good things about, they may be worth looking into if you're adamant about getting coilovers.
