Hey guys, so just recently I started getting a clicking sound when I drive my car. When I got over a bump it clicks bad and I'm starting to think that my front driver side strut is blown out. Seeing as my car is a 95 and I assume the struts have never been changed as I am the second owner, I was thinking about going with a nice set out coil overs (that aren't overly expensive) instead of just replacing the blown struts with new ones. My question is: what do you guys recommend when it comes to coil overs? I want to have something reliable but not too expensive, and I've seen a few online already (Megan, K-sport, etc.) that aren't too expensive. What do you guys run and how do you guys like it? If anyone could help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I'm on Megan Racing and am currently riding almost maxed out on the lowest setting. Also almost maxed out on the most stiff. These coilovers are real stiff. If you want to go low and ride stiff for cheap then get the Megan Racing. I never driven/experienced the Megan EZ series but I am starting to see a lot of Hondas riding them. I supposed they're perfect for a DD car. They have height adjustment, preload adjustment, front camber plate and damper settings. Same thing my Racing series has but for a cheaper price.

I'm not too worried about it being stiff, it's a DD and the roads I live on aren't too harsh when it comes to potholes, speed bumps, etc. I have been looking at the Megan EZ racing and they aren't too expensive. I'm thinking about going that route I was just wondering what some of you guys run. As far as ride height, it'll be nice to have it adjustable until I get a new set of wheels. Thanks for the input, it's greatly appreciated. -------------------- "I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car than win by an inch because someone else built it for me"
