Hey all,
Having trouble deciding between 3 different coilovers and have a few questions. Usage is for my daily, wanting to lower it about 1.2 inches.
Located in BC, Canada, so I buy pretty much all of my parts from ft86motorsports - to save duties/customs - and there's a promo running that puts all of my top options in the same price category:
1. BC Racing BR Coilovers $1,261.49 (

2. Megan Racing Street Series Coilovers $1,208.99 (

3. Tein Flex A Coilover System wqith Hydraulic Bump Stop $1,298.99 (
https://www.ft86motorsports.com/susp...-fr-s-brz.html)
So my questions are:
1. Is it felt unanimously that any one of these is superior? Can anyone note a serious drawback about any one of them?
2. The BC racing have +$200 option to add aluminum damper bodies - why would I want to do this? is it just weight reduction?
3. I won't be tracking the car yet, but friends have been teaching me how to drift a little (as safely as possible on empty rural backroads) so I'd like to know if one stands out for performance - I've read poor things about TEIN for performance, and then read poor things for BC on quality.
4. It is my understanding that rear lower control arms and rear toe arms are a must at the same time - can anyone weigh in? And is there anything else I'd be missing?
Thanks all for your time, thoughts, and advice!
