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.

Id say that out of the box, most of these coilovers have a stiff spring rate, if you are set on getting coilovers and only plan on DD'ing the car, id possible look into contacting the company you end up choosing and have them send you a set with a lower spring rate. Itd lessen the loss of comfort when you switch to coilovers.

Id say if you only plan on DD'ing (and not lowering, stancing, racing, etc), a strut and spring setup would be the better option
