Brand & model: Megan Coilover Sleeves front: 450 lbs/in rear: 350 lbs/in
Price paid and from where: ~$100 from meganracing.com
Pros: good, stiff ride. handled very well paired with the Tokico Illuminas i had them on
Cons: the plastic caps on the tops of the springs broke
Final verdict: the spring rates were good, but the other components of the coilover sleeve were bad, haha.
these are not to be confused with megan racing full coilovers, which is actually a good suspension set up
Brand & model: Tokico Illumina Shocks
Price paid and from where: $365 shipped from ebay
Pros: GREAT shocks, the damper adjustability was awesome
Cons: none
Final verdict: i definitely recommend them to anyone wanting an adjustable damper shock
Brand & model: Skunk2 Coilover Sleeves front: 10 kg/mm (558.8 lbs/in) rear: 6 kg/mm (335.28 lbs/in)
Price paid and from where: ~$200, dont remember where i bought them from
Pros: good set up, they felt like they were a little softer than the Megan sleeves i had before i got these, but the posted rates say otherwise. i had the skunk2's on the illuminas as well, and the ride was just as good. stiff, but good.
Cons: a little stiff for dd, but i didnt mind it
Final verdict: good set up for the cheap route
Brand & model: Ksport Pro Damper 36-way fully adjustable full coilover front: 12 kg/mm (672 lbs/in) rear: 7 kg/mm (392 lbs/in)
Price paid and from where: ~$800 from a local shop
Pros: the damper adjustability is great, you can really fine tune with the 36 different settings. also the shock body height adjustment on the coilover allows for a damn good drop while still maintaining a good ride quality for a coilover.
Cons: i have none yet
Final verdict: definite good buy for a full coilover with the quality ive experienced so far.
5/7/12 - they lasted 4 years and 50k miles and one of my rear shocks have finally blown. no problems with them whatsoever the entire time ive owned them, so im not complaining.
the f2 type 2's i replaced my old ksports with are terrible. one shock blew a couple days after installing them...then another within 6 months. in the 9 months i've had them on my car (installed june 2, 12), i've determined that they're complete garbage, don't handle worth shit and are only good at lowering your car...then continuing to suck. i should've bought another set of ksports.
